$99 for a font... Seems like the artisinal font industry gets its business model from free-to-play, i.e. whale-hunting.

Do yourself a favor and try to design a font from scratch using FontForge (free tool). Let us know what you learn from the experience, how long it took to perfect it and what was the end result.

Still quite a bit easier than creating a F2P game to those same standards.

You can't sell a product with an F2P game. Commercial fonts are used in products. Thus the higher prices.
