Not so much defense, more like "uhh, yeah, things cost money, inflation exists, welcome to the real world", and I can't disagree honestly. People gotta use an inflation calculator on old games.
This meme does have real "too late, I drew you as the soy cuck and myself as the chad!" energy.
Back then the market wasn't so large that's why they were more expensive, more consumers menat lower prices. Now they just want to push the boundaries and make more money, idk how people can defend large companies like Nintendo at all.
it's less defending the company and moreso expressing general annoyance at gamers who throw a fit everytime nintendo does a totally expected fuck up.
like there are people genuinely surprised that a console in 2025 is 450 bucks, and i'm not allowed to point fingers at them? nintendo fans are notorious for setting themselves up with horrid expectations and being upset when they're ultimately not met.
Is "keeping up with inflation" even a fuckup? I all but guarantee the crybaby internet dwellers will not show up at all on Nintendo's earnings report when Switch 2 releases. It'll still be scalped to shit and sold out for months. The only fuckup here is people being delusional enough to think stuff can stay the same price forever and winding themselves up into a tantrum every time it doesn't.
I don't even particularly care about Nintendo, before someone calls me a fanboy... I bought a Switch years after release and I've played it for like 100 hours total since I did... And half that was spent on CTR which isn't even a Nintendo game.
