Just remember these companies made BILLIONS of dollars selling games at 60$, this isnt about keeping the lights on or having enough money to make the next game. This is about siphoning as much money from the consumer as possible

PAL world of all games knew they were toeing the line, but I 100% agree with you

Then how are the workers salaries? Have they gone up or gas it gone mostly to the CEO's?

If inflation was a problem then they wouldnt have seen as much growth as they have in the last 5 years. Inflation is a bullshit excuse used to raise prices so companies can rake in more money

Inflation wasn’t a problem because they raised their prices accordingly, as opposed to most workplaces who didn’t raise your wages based on inflation.

This is definitely corporate greed at play, but don’t raise up Nintendo if your job hasn’t paid you right in a few years

So you're saying Nintendo raised their salaries, saw massive growth in the company and STILL decides to raise prices on games just to squeeze out more money.

You got one thing right, this is corporate greed at work

I’m sayin that they’ve accounted for inflation in their price, and the average business has not accounted for inflation in their payrolls, so the ones closer to stealing money are the business you work for. After all, you don’t have to buy Nintendo (i don’t), but you do have to make money at the end of the day

The inflation argument is stupid when wages stays the same

Not trying to dick ride Nintendo, but tech and developer salaries have almost surely gone up. Maybe not enough to justify the cost increase, but these jobs aren't like your shit retail jobs that don't get raises.

Compared to regular joes? People who aren't in the tech industry?

u/uberkalden2 1d ago

Yes. I'm saying their costs did go up. Doesn't mean it makes things affordable for normal people, but that doesn't really factor into the calculation

u/Normal-Pianist4131 1d ago

I agree with the sentiment, and I’m not defending Nintendo when I challenge the quality of your attacks, but I don’t remember Nintendo being in charge of your wages, they just know how much people will pay for their games

u/DrScience01 1d ago

They know how to grab every single cent of the consumer who is stupid enough to buy their games like parents who didn't know any better and Nintendo adults

Yeah pretty much ¯_(ツ)_/¯
