So after reading about how, when accou ting for inflation, games are actually cheaper today than they should be. Your whole counter is. “Hur dur, because no, dont write paragraphs, me not read more than 20 seconds. Hur dur” yeah good one…
Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns
MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoBecause it is egregious. Wow solved that for you. Write an essay somewhere else about how you love Nintendo so much.

Things are way more expensive than they should be. Inflation isnt an excuse to have things expensive. And yes this includes games. $80, $90, and $100 games are too expensive, it aint complicated.
Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
But its LOWER than inflation. And its based on misinformation.
Is your argument against nintendo, or all game pricing?
If its all game pricing then i agree with you. Like i said in my “essay” games are too expensive.
If its against nintendo specifically then its not even correct. There are no 100 dollar switch 2 games. There are no 90 dollar switch games. Thats factually incorrect and i implore you to find proof. I will shut my mouth if you do.
80 dollars? Sure. But as i said in my “essay” thats nothing new. And its not exclusive to nintendo.
All i am saying is your rage is misplaced and you need to know your enemy.
Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
In fact. I dont care if you realise it or not. I dont need your validation. Im in my 30s. I’m nearly 40. i have been gaming since the sega master system. That’s fairly early doors for gaming. I know what i am talking about, i have been alive for long enough and paid for enough games to know what i am talking about.
The fact that you are just going to downvote me and offer absolutely nothing to counter my argument is enough for me to know you are EITHER too young to k ow about any of this, or being purposfully ignorant to jump on the rage wagon.
The fact you automatically think i am schilling for nintendo because my argument passively defends them (its actually an argument defending all game pricing) is just evidence of your immaturity.
Grow up, eh?
MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Well since you brought it up Ive been gaming longer than you. Raising prices to $80, $90, and $100 is price gouging, thats all it is.
Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Right. So its the willfully ignorant path then?
Come on, mate. How can you be so blind?
And as i said in the other comment. Please show me the 90 or 100 dollar switch 2 games.
MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Switch 2 isnt out yet, how can I show you? Nintendo said in direct new Switch 2 games could be $80 for digital and $90 for physical.
