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?
