lol but seriously this is the first time I’m not buying a Nintendo console on launch in a long time. Their prices here in Canada were already absurd but this gen is just unreal.
I have a 500 dollar GameStop gift card I was planning on putting towards this thing, but these prices are ridiculous. I’ll just get my wife a mug instead.
Could be worse, you could be here in the US and get to pay an idiot fascist tax on top of it!
Mario? Screw that guy. I’d tip for Luigi, though.
The sad thing is: This would work.
I choose not to play
15%? 20% is the new minimum suggested tip nowadays
0% is gaining favor
I mean this is a shit post but like Nintendo isn’t really the “tip” type of company or microtransactions type of company.
They’re the milking the shit out of their franchises and keeping premium prices on their games type of company.
Yeah they Japanese. Tipping is seen as an insult over in Japan.
Oh they see it as an insult? Good.
Selling a tech demo on top of the astronomical cost of the system. Jesus
Eh, it’s more that it’s just not in the culture. Most people would just decline it rather than be offended.
Gamers on Lemmy don’t even know why they’re mad at Nintendo honestly
A community, forged by a shared desire to see software and technology be free, open, and driven by passion.
With members who usually find their way here fleeing the profit driven enshittification that so often stifles this pursuit.
And for some unknown reason, they are mad at a company that pursues aggressive litigation against free and open passion projects that were the very embodiment of the community’s shared values…
Well that’s just a fucking mystery if I’ve ever seen one!
Don’t forget, you see way less Nintendo gaming videos and streamers. Because they are greedy and want a cut of what is made. They’re not happy with the good word of mouth, they NEED to get paid.
Also look at this shit with PalWorld. Working to retroactively patten very basic game mechanics because a franchise that refused to evolve got beat by the new kids.
Watch them patent pressing w to move forward
No W on a Nintendo controller
90% sure this guy is baiting
can’t believe i wasted my time explaining myself to this brainlet.
Piracy is free
If we can find a way to pirate these…
Give it some time, we will.
Necessity is the mother of invention
We will
It is, but someone has to bear the cost of purchasing and cracking it
🏴☠️
I pirated totk and it resulted in me buying a switch.
It was a full time job to play it emulated, i barely have time to play it normally.
It kept crashing and shit was bug ridden.
What are you on about? I’m playing it just fine on my potato quality PC.
Just a small indie company.
I hear they started off in their parents garage
It all got started by 2 plumbers with a can-do attitude and good work ethic.
The 15 is typically an 18.
Amazing. They actually made the PS5 Pro look like a good deal.
You know this isn’t real right?
The 80$ MSRP for the game is real though
At that price, my tip is zero.
My tip is -$20
for that price the switch 2 should be included
Technically, there’s a bundle that includes the game for $50.
I wouldn’t dream of sending a tip to Nintendo or any other large company, but I did send a tip to SureAI (game devs, nothing to do with the bullshit we’re currently calling ‘AI’) after playing Enderal. One of the best games I’ve ever played, zero ads or microtransaction BS, completely free. It was literally just a passion project by an indie dev crew. $60, cuz it’s as good as any AAA game I’ve played. They earned the fuck out of every cent.
BRING ME A NICE CRISP PIECE OF MEAT!
Thanks for making me aware of Enderal. It looks absolutely awesome.
I’ll try it out and if it’s half as good as you say, I’ll tip them twice what I paid for Skyrim (which won’t be $60 but I’ve never paid that much for a game).If Ice Pick Lodge did this they’d have funding for Pathologic 4 in about two minutes.
There’s at least one die hard Nintendo fan out there that’s gonna custom tip $100+ because being a Nintendo fan is their personality. Nintendo should be selling them special loyalty edition consoles for $10k or something and give the rest of us a break.
The loyalty edition is just a standard console with a sticker on it.
