Is that really fair to add? Nobody did it for PSN or xbox live. Also who is to say this is the only game you want online for? Then there’s family pricing which is often split amongst members.

$100 is already a lot for a game. No need to inflate the figure.

Yes. We are talking about Pokemon. You know “You gotta catch em all!!” series. You need online to do that.

  Then you should be consistent and count the cost of PSN and XBL the same way.

    Okay, but we are talking Nintendo.

    It seems a little disingenuous to single them out this way, especially when the competitors you're strangely silent on are more expensive.

I think these online subscriptions are proving to be a major factor in why there’s been a migration of audiences from consoles to PC. People are seemingly running the long-term calculus in their heads and realizing PC is cheaper at a certain threshold.
