Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 details: Screen size, controllers, storage, microphone chat and games
AJ1@lemmy.ca 1 day agoas a Canadian I’m used to everything being expensive as fuck, but I have to draw the line somewhere. this is why piracy exists. I’ll probably break down and buy one at the next major Zelda title launch, because I don’t get a choice in that. my heart wants what it wants, and I’m getting too old to say no at this point.
Everyone should just move to piracy anyways.
Products cost what we’re willing to pay, not what they cost to produce.
The fact so many people are willing to pay for things they can get for free (while complaining they don’t have enough money) is just another reason why things are the way they are. We’ve been conditioned to be proud of our consumerism at any cost.

If you just want Zelda, a singleplayer game with no expiry / pressure to play while others are playing, you could consider waiting for emulation to catch up. I’m currently enjoying a bunch of singleplayer Switch games on my PC.

Yeah, once I moved permanently to piracy I’ve noticed I actually have way more games than I know what to do with.
I still haven’t finished BOTW, and there’s also TOTK to play after that. I also haven’t played Skyward Sword ever and I replayed WW and Twilight Princess in the meantime.
Really, I can’t fathom getting excited for digital media at this point. There’s so much to enjoy, I genuinely believe that any sort of “hype” is just consumerism taking hold of unsuspecting individuals.
