Comment on Nintendo is Bringing Us Kicking and Screaming Into the $80 Game Era with the Switch 2

Yeah but you gotta remember the tech savvy pirating types are the minority by a long ways. Average Joe is just gonna pay the 5 bucks to watch his favorite childhood movie on a whim. Just like he’s probably gonna shell out 80 bucks for a game he’s gonna play for a couple hundred hours.

I haven’t even pirated a movie in years. I just don’t have any more than an very mild “well if there’s literally nothing else to do because my arms are strapped to a chair for the next 2.5 hours, I guess I remember this one thing people said was good” (context: platelet donation, so yes this happens in real life and is not an insane hypothetical) interest in watching in the first place. Although I suppose that’s rare too ^^;
