Reddit isn't the place to find a nuanced discussion about inflation, sustainability and market forces. Price go up just means greedy corpos trying to steal our hard earned money, obviously.
1.5 billion? Wow, that's a lot of money. Tell me, what's their operating cost? How much do they need to make a month to keep everything rolling? How much does it cost them to design and program a new game? What's their overhead? Server costs? Legal costs? Regulatory costs? HR costs? What's their projections look like?
If you knew anything about the gaming industry beyond "Ooh look, fun game", then you would have known this has been a long time coming. Maybe try using your brain instead of calling everyone else who does a dork.
Well, in that case, Nintendo should just pack it up. Jmichealstark said the price increase is unnecessary, and we all know how much Jmichealstark knows about business and economics.
Growth, reinvestment, R&D, legal retainers, etc. It's also likely bracing to weather a coming storm, and have paid a lot of analysts a lot of money to determine the right balance between increasing necessary profitability and the net loss to profitability from pricing out some consumers.
It sucks if you're one of those that get priced out for a time, but Nintendo doesn't owe you affordable entertainment.
