It’s about normalizing the higher price point for next generation.

Funny way to say, “release at a price point the market will bear”. The scalpers shown nVidia that the market is willing to pay more, close to double. If the market pays that, then guess what, it’s not ‘normalization of higher prices’ it’s ‘market rate’.

so I thought a Guitar Hero clone on PC with MIDI Keyboard support

I’m confused here.

¿Are you looking for Guitar Hero or Piano Hero experience?

https://www.amazon.com/PEFEEL-Smart-Guitar-black-SG7/dp/B0B6BXXX9C gives one tactile experience

https://www.guitarcenter.com/Used/In-Store-Used/Used-Starr-Labs-Z7s-Midi-Guitar-Controller-MIDI-Controller.gc offers another.

I would just use one of those controllers and plug it into an actual DAW like Renoise. I had fun with guitar hero but I was also playing/learning guitar at the same time and before I even played guitar hero for the first time, and I just didn’t keep up with guitar hero but I did continue playing guitar.

Wait until iOS Auto Corrects them typing Gulf of America to Gulf of Mexico but only after they hit send.
