So then why is the value of the game only $50 when you buy it with a Switch 2?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
"I've got $40 million and don't have to want for anything, but poor people who pirate games are terrible and deserve every punishment imaginable. I mean, it's just a video game. How much could it cost - 10 bucks, Michael?"
For me, I need the next Switch to be backwards compatible and have much better hardware that can run current gen games. Honestly, if it's not as powerful (if not more) than a Steam Deck, then it'll be obsolete as soon as it's released.
Charging next gen prices for last gen games is not "inevitable".
Unless I can score a collector's edition, I'm just going to wait for the actual inevitable price drop when it goes on sale in November for Black Friday.
Twice the normal microSD card price for something that sits inside my Switch and I might only see twice: 1) when I put it in, and 2) when I upgrade to a larger card?
@clianvXAi Tell me you've never played Fortnite without telling me you've never played Fortnite. With the addition of Creative, there is now literally something for everyone in the game, and it's community made.
You don't have to spend a dime on Fortnite if you don't want and still have an amazing time.
Nah, mate. Stadia works fantastically. Nintendo should use Google's Stadia infrastructure for cloud gaming instead of whatever they're using now, because obviously Nintendo's isn't working and Stadia's is.
The cross-section of people that play Fortnite and can afford this overpriced crap is extremely small. They're going to sell 1,000 shirts for $400 when they could have sold a million at $30.
If it's not looking like he can clear it in time, he should just put a backdoor to take you from the start to the end. Then he could upload it, and people could try beating it without using the backdoor.
"Beckham is going to earn £40 million and he doesn't even play professionally any more."
And the fact that he doesn't play professionally for any team is why no team has the right to license him out. So if EA wants to use him, they have to negotiate with him directly.
If Ibrahimović wants to retire from playing and then start selling his likeness, he's free to do so. Otherwise, he's bound by the contracts he's signed to play for the team(s) he plays for.
All-time lows they've been $40 (MK) and $30 (MP) each. Seeing as how you can currently buy both of these new from Walmart for $50, the only savings is the $10 GC. If they had made this a limited holiday edition for $75, it would have made more sense, but at $100 for one great game and one fairly meh game, it's just not worth it.
That's a pretty funny mix-up because it sounds like "almost everyone's got it", whereas the normal phrase "must have" means "everyone should absolutely get it."
@Clyde_Radcliffe It's exactly like this (https://marcdobson.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/twitTheOneManBandMarcDobson_1.jpg) but with computer game programming.
Bethesda's also having a sale on the Stadia store. I picked up Doom Eternal for $30 (who knows when it'll come to Switch, plus Stadia looks better than the Switch version will) and Rage 2 Deluxe Edition for $16.
Bayo 2 was announced in Sept 2012 and was released 2 years later in Sept 2014 (in Japan, Oct elsewhere). After it was announced there were more gameplay trailers, a playable demo, etc. that followed.
Bayo 3 was announced Dec 2017. We're now almost 3 years later with literally nothing since the announcement. I don't think it'll come out before next March.
They literally wrote the numbers that prove that Nintendo has not been making as making games as they were. It's a simple question with a simple answer. They aren't making as many games.
That doesn't mean the games aren't good, just that they're not making as many.
My only complaint is it taking 1,587 Pokeballs and 342 fruits to catch a 15XP Rattata.
The catching mechanic is obviously busted to get you to spend money to buy pokeballs, especially if you don't have stops near you that you can regularly visit.
On the Target website, when you go to get the pass it's listed as:
"Pokemon Sword or Pokemon Shield: Expansion Pass - Nintendo Switch (Digital)"
And all the way up until final checkout there's nowhere to choose which one you want. It just says they'll email you a code. So I have no idea how you get the right one that you actually want.

At this point I hope MS doesn't put the new COD on PS, and also turns off all the old Call of Duty servers just to spite Sony for whining so much.

I wish they were on Stadia instead since that's the only cloud gaming platform that actually just works the way you want it to.

Ask developers if they'd rather pay $1,000 a year or 30% of revenue.
