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.
paying 80 dollar for a high quality piece of media that hundreds, if not thousands of dedicated artist worked on for years is not that weird. I mean, furry commissions go by 100$+ and they are much less effort than a new mario kart. the issue is just that many AAA games are not worth 60 dollar, let alone 80. Nintendo is one of the few developers who can get away with this shit, because their games are (mostly) consistently good. pricing them that high leaves a bitter impression, even if the games are worth 80 bucks.
Keep in mind the switch 2 itself is going to be around half as expensive as the PS5 and actually have games. It's still scummy and greedy, but much less so than many people claim. Nintendo is a company. They want (and need) to make money.
And despite Nintendo online being a fucking joke (rip anyone trying to play the Duskbloods multiplayer), putting Gamecube games on the switch 2 is FUCKING based.
