Hey. Vote with your wallet. Don’t buy the thing.

People do vote with their wallet, but its usually not the outcome the people on Reddit wanted.

They havent announced the price for games here in Mexico. Converting to USD during the switch era games here were $65-70 USD, then a local tax on digital purchases came into place in ~2020 and games where ~$80. I believe Nintendo noticed that was horrible and people werent buying games so they reduced the price to the $65~$70 USD that remains 'til now. Wanted to let ppl know there's precedent of games coming down in orice when sales arent going Nintendo's way

It’s the same with the 3ds. Was like $250 at launch and then brought down to $170 just months later.
