If higher price points were truly affordable for most people I would agree with you. I don’t, because they are not.
I am of course okay with you paying whatever you want within reason. I am not okay with companies who are failing to innovate charging progressively more money because of a monopoly they have created.
I think it breaks and unspoken agreement between the parties around value. This is why I chose not to get a Switch 2. I sensed that Nintendo was doing yet another money grab without the development work they should have.
The lack of Switch 2 games really highlight this and it is very disappointing. I am hoping they can pull out of this greed induced slump and really spend a lot more on development of their IP.
I really do like Nintendo IP. I wish they would go to other platforms now though. If someone were to break up Nintendo (hint, hint) we would all experience a lot more of what we love.
I mean I agree with you on all points, it’s just that for this game bundle in particular, the value I’m getting personally is easily worth $83 or $50 or whatever it’s available for.
Normally I would never ever pay for a game more than $20 or so. But if it’s for my kids and I to create memories, the price limit goes up. 😬
