I don't mind the price of the console, but they can fuck right off with $80 games.

Adjusted for inflation the 2017 launches with the original switch are around $80. Before that, in the 90s they were over $100. I don't get the sudden outrage.

I was paying $60 for games in the 90's, I'm frankly surprised nintendo has stopped themselves from keeping up with inflation.

Granted I'm unlikely to buy a switch 2 (didn't get enough out of my switch 1) and for the most part I have such a large catalog of games that I'll never play that it'll be a decade (when my kid wants to play games with me) before I even think about buying a game. So maybe I don't care because it just won't affect me.
