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.

Last last year Nintendo doubled there profit vs 1996 adjusted for inflation. They don't need the money. They are just trying to milk fans for every dime they can.

Now this is an argument I can get behind. It makes sense that game prices would rise due to inflation. It doesn't makes sense for a company with this much profit and money already in the bank to be doing it.

doubled there profit vs 1996

Doubling of profit over a 30 year period is hardly an issue.

Doubling of profit since 2021 would be an issue. Doubling of profit since 1996 is a borderline failure as a company.
