the fact its the "real world" (pretty much a shitty one) doesnt mean its a good thing

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.

You're right. It's not. People are pissed that they're being priced out of something they used to enjoy.

Breath of the Wild was 80$ on launch inflation adjusted. If 10$ is pricing you out, you have bigger problems

I think that’s exactly why people are so frustrated. They have bigger problems and Nintendo is adding one more. I wouldn’t say it’s a rational opinion, necessarily, but I understand it.

Does Nintendo exist in a separate dimension where the global economy functions differently?

Or was everyone expecting the billion dollar company to take one for the team and not increase prices to compensate?

This isn’t a defence of Nintendo, just confused what people were expecting and more importantly why.

CAD? It was $60 USD on launch, and Tears of the Kingdom was $70.

I double-checked, you're 100% thinking of CAD. The pricing on the Nintendo site has it at $80 CAD.

No, I am adjusted for inflation. 60$ in 2017 was about 80$ now

Ah, I understand now. It would be best to add that to your original comment to prevent any additional confusion.

u/SmilingCurmudgeon 1d ago

Yes. I do. We all do. No one but you and that other guy seem to be oblivious to the general state of financial dire straits in this country.

Then my argument to you if your financial situation is that bad, then gaming realistically shouldnt be your worry.

I am sorry, but if you are that tight on money you shouldn't be buying videogames and should be focusing on needs and bills. Gaming is a luxury not a need...

But realistically you are probably doing just fine, and complaining about the governement because you want gaming to revolve around your wants,

I addressed this already. Keep up or fuck off.

Read my last comment again

If you are being priced out then you probably don't have the money for gaming to be your focus

Keep up or fuck off

And how might you expect people to feel about losing a hobby and/or source of entertainment that they once enjoyed? Select from the following:

1) Happy

2) Ambivalent

3) Pissed

4) I'm not convinced you're ever going to admit that you're not even arguing against me so I'm not going to indulge your extra chromosome further

No, most people don't. Real wages are at all time highs. Unemployment is near sustained record lows. The current administration will blow all of this up, but things are currently very good

You failing personally does not mean everyone else if failing

You failing personally does not mean everyone else if failing

I make above the median household income in my relatively low cost of living area.

u/Urnotsmartmoron 1d ago

I don't believe you and you're wrong about the financial state of the country

u/RelativeSubstantial5 1d ago
