And BG3 cost 60 dollars with the amount of time and care to create the game. I'll assure you, you will spend more time in bg3 than any other Nintendo game
If people keep buying it and going back for more then they aren't deeply upsetting their audience - big caveat we haven't seen the new price increase in action so that definitely could change things, but at least previously Nintendo not lowering their prices certainly hadn't upset the majority of their audience enough to stop buying.
My little soapbox is that this isn't a big deal though. It sucks, but the best games were already indie and small studio games that sell for far far cheaper. There is very little passion that makes it to the end game on large studios and it's getting more and more obvious.
Their games still sell like hot cakes even with them not lowering prices. Pokemon games still sell like crazy despite them being messes.
Yes people are complaining about the price increases on social media, but we don't know how that's actually going to translate to the real world when the people online are the minority. Until their actual sales are affected clearly Nintendo isn't upsetting their audience all that much
You're the one being dishonest claiming Nintendo is deeply upsetting their audience. Nintendo charged the same price for Zelda:TotK as the Donkey Kong was announced at and it still sold amazingly. Nintendo has a long long history of never putting their games on deep sales and it hasn't stopped people from buying games years later. The only evidence for your claim is social media and we are the minority. We have 0 hard evidence so far that Nintendo is alienating customers
The solution is simple - stop buying expensive games. Maybe you are right and this is the point where they've gone too far, but until the sales slow down or stop then clearly Nintendo hasn't really upset their consumers
As I've said before - we are the minority. Most people do not spend their time on video games forums. And if people keep buying them yea, clearly we aren't that upset. I've seen numerous people in this thread saying something along the lines of "yea that sucks l, but I'm still preordering it". So it's not even like we are all on the same page here let alone the real world.
But I digress and stand by my point - don't buy the expensive games, they don't matter and are never that good. Indie games is where it's at, and you can find indie games that are either better value or straight up better games in your preferred genre
