up to 80€ for Digital Games up to 90€ for Physical Games Meanwhile Nintendo is richer than ever…
Treechery
Well, that might be the sign I was waiting for to switch (ha !) my kids to Steam, after all.
To be fair. Nintendo is currently the only producer of AAA games that I would consider buying.
That being said. The rest of AAA devs should lower the prices of their games accordingly to their endhittification. Nintendo game quality didn’t increase, some even decreased (looking at you, pokemon).
Man the company had around $ 6 Billion profits in 2024. Profits, not revenue. The audacity to raise prices of games while they are more rich than ever.
Well, tbf, that is how they got rich.
They’re consistent, if nothing else.
They got rich because the Switch was something new, cheap, and the games had normalish pricing. Also corona played a big role, GPU market got pwned by mining back then, and many other reasons. I bought a Switch because i could not upgrade my GPU back in 2021 (1st console i bought after 15 years). It was a better value than other consoles and offered something the others had not.
Yarrr 🏴☠️
I was planning to get a Switch 2 just to keep it at 1.0 and wait for a scene to develop, but even the console alone is a bit out of my price range.
When I came over from console to PC steam sales and free multiplayer seemed like such luxuries x3… I’d never want to go back to console just for that (not that I was ever a fan of nintendo, since their game prices never go down to affordable levels)
Nintendo game prices seem too expensive not only to PC gamers, but Xbox and Sony gamers too. All the other platforms reward patient gamers with price drops even for first party titles, but for Nintendo sometimes they go up.
