Comment on Nintendo Lowers Pricepoint For Digital Versions of Switch 2 Games
lemmyng@lemmy.world 1 day agoAnd when they do, mark my words, they’ll raise the price of digital games to $70-80 because “we’re Nintendo, what the fuck are you gonna do about it?”
Well, Ninty, I have a Steam Deck loaded with cracked games, roms of your old shit you refuse to rerelease, PC ports of said roms, fan games, and games I’ve bought theough Steam that will literally last me several generations at this point, and that’s not even counting the games that have yet to release.
Yessir, I have enough PC games to never touch a Nintendo game ever again. And if I ever do feel the urge, there are tons of fan games, ports and roms of Nintendo IP accessible via web browser.

Look, I have the same setup as you and I also have a Nintendo Switch 2 with which myself and my kids are getting hours a day of wholesome constructive fun together in Pokopia. I don’t think “well I can just steal stuff” is the great argument you think it is.
They know. They don’t care. You are on a report. You are shrinkage.

Fair, I also have a Switch 2, and Pokopia looks like tons of fun.
My argument was moreso “I have other options” apart from Nintendo if they ever go the “you will own nothing and you will be happy about it” route, which they seem to be inching towards.
What’s this about me being on a report and shrinkage tho? Genuinely asking.

He’s implying that you (and those who take the same approach as you) are a footnote on a sales report - that the foregone sales are insignificant.
Shrinkage is a term for an unaccounted reduction in inventory (usually due to theft, lost, or misplaced inventory).
