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.

The markets growing is why games havenā€™t gone up in price for 20 years. That growth is slowing down and the 60$ is no longer sustainable.

Also, it doesnā€™t matter anyway because if people will pay more for a product, thatā€™s what the product costs.

the 60$ is no longer sustainable

They've been so profitable the past few years, what makes you think this is unsustainable?

Higher prices don't necessarily lead to higher revenues or profit either. We'll see how sustainable this new price is if people aren't buying enough games.

You can still be profitable and pricing can be unsustainable.

And everyone said the same thing when games went to 60$. People will still buy their games, including 90% of the shitposters here. Blame the all the consumers for the price.

How can something profitable be unsustainable?

Can you give an actual answer this time?

Because inflation exists and isn't a fictional thing like half other redditors here like to pretend it is. You need to give your employees raises to combat CoL as well.

Their profits have increased in recent years. You can't just ignore that like the other half of redditors who act like they understand the economy but actually are clueless.

Just reread what I wrote if you need the answer. Your inability to grasp basic economics and business finances isn't my issue.

Businesses that aren't growing are at a higher risk of failing. Their job is to keep their company growing to the benefit of their employees and stockholders.

Saying because a company is profitable means they don't need to increase prices is genuinely a stupid response.

Wait never mind I understand the hostility, you're the guy from the meme!

Whatever you gotta tell yourself to deflect from the fact that your greed is making you upset that you gotta spend 20 extra dollars for a game on release.

But my point is that I think this could backfire on Nintendo.

Regardless, between me and Nintendo, who is more "greedy" for wanting to have an extra $20? Like I'm doing fine financially, but Nintendo's finances dwarf mine obviously.

Not that I'm actually expecting a serious response from you, though. As we've established you're the loser from the meme. Imagine saying I'm deflecting when you can't answer simple questions.

Doesnā€™t matter. You want to criticize a company for doing their job by saying itā€™s greedy, but the criticisms on this very thread come from a place of greed as well. Doesnā€™t matter how rich anyone is. A business exchanging a luxury good or service with a customer is 100% greed in all directions. Thereā€™s nothing wrong with people wanting stuff.

Not that I'm actually expecting a serious response from you, though

Uh huh. Because an Adult unironically saying ā€œUr the meme guy!ā€ Is totally something anyone should take seriously, hm?

Where did I even call them greedy? You're not even arguing why it makes sense you're just justifying something completely irrelevant.

who is more "greedy"

Literally last post.

You're not even arguing why it makes sense

No no, I insist. You're the one doing that. Google psychological projection. Pretending to be stupid isn't an argument. If you don't have an actual response, just don't respond.
