If that's too much then don't buy the games.

I don't see how this is becoming such a big issue. Nobody needs to defend Nintendo, because they haven't done anything wrong.

This isn't some sort of mandatory video game tax. You can just buy games from someone else. Steam is flooded with so many amazing £10/£20 games that it's impossible to play them all. If mario kart is too expensive, then there are other games to buy and play.

Mind you, half the people crying about these prices are going to spend $15+ on a single character cosmetic change in the next week or so.

And they will complain about forcing people to buy digital games being anti-consumer when Nintendo does it, while also shilling the Steam Deck.

The Steam deck plays non drm games perfectly fine. Just install heroic and connect to Gog. You can still actually own your games.

Exactly, this isn't an ethical issue. Nobody is "defending" them. Some people are saying that they can't afford this system, others are saying that they do.

It's not like Nintendo is abusing its employees or anything (at least as far as we know).

G*mers are always throwing a tantrum about something.

I prefer that we not buy them AND be extremely vocal about why, so that they don't mistakenly assume there are other factors at play. Crazy, I know.

But people will still buy them. I don't see a future where Nintendo drops the price of games, because people that like Nintendo games are generally willing to pay whatever they need to.

Hell, people have been moaning about Pokémon games for decades now, but nothing ever changes, because people still buy the games again and again knowing that there'll be no significant updates to the formula.

Yes Im sure literal PhD economists Nintendo employs are too dumb to figure this out without random reddit posters lol

And you don't think that customer sentiment builds into decision making processes at all? Interesting.

Yeah man market research heavily weights comments on reddit. There is no higher signal of quality data than random reddit posts that totally doesn’t have a bot problem.

Sorry, when did I say to only be vocal on reddit?

Or buy it and actually 100% it, get your moneys worth.
