If we are being real you could look up the preorder prices of the games and see that 80 dollars is the maximum.
I can't speak for the US but in the EU, some retailers are ignoring the RRP nintendo set and selling games way cheaper.
Even in the UK, where this isn't the case, I am seeing £75 for mario kart. Only £5 more than most games cost these days.
Also £65 for donkey kong which is £5 less than standard.
I appreciate that nintendo games dont tend to drop in cost over time and perhaps like many others you would prefer to try to justify piracy (to be clear, and fair, i have pirated games,tv and movies of the years, but dont tend to do it much these days) then by all means, dont by these games, dont by the switch 2. But dont lie about what it is and what it costs just to be part of the rage.
I find it so strange that the people who pirate games are getting mad about the cost of games they are going to pirate anyway. I am not saying thats you, because i dont know you, but a lot of this rage comes from people who were never going to pay for it in the first place. Its baffling.
But anyway, the point is, if you are going to be mad at it, then at least be mad at what it actually is, yeah?
80 dollars isn't even the minimum. Donkey Kong is cheaper than that. It's on nintendos' official website.
Yes, 80 dollars is a lot and, in my opinion, too much for games.
It doesn't matter. I just think it's important to get the facts before forming an opinion.
You are only adding to the rage with misinformation.
I accept if you say you aren't mad. But you are clearly not happy with the prices if you are commenting here with the message you sent. So i am saying just get the numbers right before posting.
Dude, im not fighting you on this. Why are you being standoffish?
I agreed with you that it's too pricey.
All i said against you is that 80 dollars, so far, applies to one game, mario kart, other games are cheaper.
The prices are on nintendos website. Look them up.
So yeah... facts. The ones on nintendos website.
Did you even look up the prices at retailers? Because it's even cheaper there.
The misinformation is the 80 dollars minimum which you corrected from 90 dollars and still got wrong. Thats misinformation as there are already games available for pre order that cost less than that.
The rage? I mean you are arguing with me instead lf discussing, all of my replies to you so far have been in the spirit of debate. I dont like nintendo. They are a greedy company and they exploit nostalgia and have been milking their very popular forst party games for too long, and it keeps working, which is infuriating. But it doesnt change the fact that you are either lying or misinformed about the current pricing situation.
So yeah. I stand by what i said and i think you should reign it in a bit and lets just have a conversation.
