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.
No one is saying it’s a good thing, but crying about it constantly on the internet is really annoying. If $80 is too much, don’t buy the game. If you buy the game, then $80 was not too much. It’s really not that hard.
It's non Nintendo doing that, it's the general economy doing that. Be mad at the people screwing up the economy or the people not paying better wages. Video games are a luxury product that costs a ton to make. Yes it sucks when prices go up but it's not like Nintendo is just deciding to increase it for no reason. Inflation has been massive the past 5 years
They were to last to go to $70 and only went to $80 first because their new console comes out first and probably as a preemptive to the tariffs about to wreck the global economy. The only people with their head in the sand are the ones acting like the massive inflation and economic uncertainty was somehow supposed to avoid the video game market.
Just because you don't understand the word doesn't mean other people don't. Just let me get this straight, you don't think we've had massive inflation since 2020 from things like COVID? The prices of average stuff hasn't increased?
It takes fewer hours of work for you to buy an $80n game in 2025 than it was to buy regularly priced games at almost any point in history. If anything, fewer people are priced out now.
Fuck Nintendo and their pricing as a whole of course, but this argument is ridiculous.
While no one likes prices going up, is an extra $20, or "3 games for the price of 4 on the switch 1", on a platform that costs $500 up front really pricing an entire class of people out of a hobby?
Holy shit this kind of seething contempt for your fellow man isnt healthy. Explain to me why you deserve 800 dollars of video games but the children of single parents dont
