This anti Nintendo thing is a bit much. Especially when every other game company out there has games that cost $150+
Base games? No, they do not. This isn't some "special edition" or whatnot where there's a cheaper option available, it's the base version of a game.
Anyone who doesn’t consider the full game (highest tier) to be the base game is too young to remember when the base game was everything
What you consider the base tier is just the demo version
Yes, often times the base game is just the entry fee, but the point is you don't HAVE to pay more to experience the game. In Mario Kart World's case? $80 for the entry fee, and you know they're gonna pile DLC on top of that later. When the Switch 3 comes out for $750 in 2033, Mario Kart World will be $105 for the Switch 2 game + DLC version and $115 for the Switch 3 + DLC version.
Yes they do. I just went on steam and there’s a shit load of games that are that price. Xbox does it, Nintendo does it, PlayStation does it. Yes it sucks, and I can also admit we’ve been lucky, games used to $80 30 years ago, and if they had kept up with the rest of the world they would all be $300+ now
Is it possible you're not talking about USD? Otherwise I have literally no idea what drugs you're taking.
Can you provide links to, say 5 different games who's base price without dlc is $150?
Da fuck is this a homework assignment? For someone who will just ignore anything I post anyways?
It's a "you're full of shit but I'll be polite and just ask you to prove what you're saying instead of jumping right to calling you out directly".
Lmao can't provide proof when called out. Cmon show me all the EA, Activision, Bethesda, Ubisoft, Square Enix, From soft, Cdpr, etc titles with a base price of $150. This should be easy since everyone's doing it.
Ok if links to 5 is too much work, can you name one or two examples, without the links? We can all Google here.
I'd accept even one example of a new base game being sold at a price higher than $70 US (before Mario Kart World), because I know it doesn't exist.
Who's gonna tell 'em about Indie games. Terraria's 10 bucks on Steam and GoG.
And $30 for the Switch!
I'm anti-nintendo because of the exclusivity, pricing strategy of their hardware, and prison labor, personally.
