@N8tiveT3ch a single income household could take care of all those things when I was growing up. And my father worked construction. We had a house, a yard, always plenty of food, and some video games for the kids.
Definitely not the case anymore. Me and my wife combined make a very solid living. But buying property is still years away for us and it will take both of us do get something we’re happy with.
@hypercoyote for sure. But it’s my opinion that’s why this stuff keeps happening. People are cool with getting gouged just a little more and a little more and a little more. It all starts with “just the tip”. Next thing ya know they’re balls deep. There’s no turning back now.
@Gatorclops it’s all good man. I didn’t say it was a rip off. It’s my opinion that 80-90 for a game is not what I want to pay. I’m not the type to put 100 hours into a game. I understand Nintendo used to charge in this range for games during the snes and n64 days. But gas also cost 1.99 or less a gallon then. Life in general costs too much now. There’s not a lot that off sets spending that. I can afford it. I just choose not to.
Nintendo is the Apple of video games. I just wish the dang games didn’t jump in price so much. A little is one thing. But 90$ for a physical base edition is unhinged.
Silksong is absolutely making an appearance. It makes total sense why the games gone dark for so long Nintendo locked this bad boy down for switch 2 a long time ago.

That will be locked behind a paywall.
Re: eBay Is Already Flooded With Switch 2 Pre-Orders At Ridiculous Prices
@Zuljaras my favorite comments I’ve seen on here are “scalpers don’t bother me, they need to make a living too”

Re: Talking Point: How Does Switch 2's Launch Price Compare To Past Nintendo Systems?
@bleeflooflah another part of the issue. A lot have no self control. Most of them can’t afford it. They just spend money they don’t have.

Re: Fans Fight Back Against Nintendo Switch 2 Scalpers
This is an interesting message board. Some defenders of price increases and scalpers here.
Re: Fans Fight Back Against Nintendo Switch 2 Scalpers
@hypercoyote I regret nothing.
Re: Fans Fight Back Against Nintendo Switch 2 Scalpers
Good. Scalpers of concerts, dinner resos, games…. There’s a special place in hell for them.
Re: Opinion: The Switch 2 Is A Powerhouse For The Price
@TerribleTerabytes 🤷♂️ doesn’t really matter. 80s my red line for games anyway.

Re: Switch 2 Games Cost A Bit More Than You're Probably Expecting
I mean Trump just hit Japan with a 24% tariff. So it’ll probably only get worse. Or this is already factored into it maybe?
Re: Switch 2 Games Cost A Bit More Than You're Probably Expecting
They could be pricing to get ahead of expected tariffs. I’d assume everyone will be going this way soon enough.
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Launch On Switch 2 In 2025
Knew this was going to make an appearance. It had to. Not the way I thought. But still
Re: Talking Point: What We Expect From The Switch 2 Direct
Silksong is absolutely making an appearance. It makes total sense why the games gone dark for so long Nintendo locked this bad boy down for switch 2 a long time ago.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Switch 2 To Launch In June With 3-Phase Software Plan
Silksong is going to be a launch title. Watch.
