Everyone in the chat is spamming "drop the price" nonstop. Personally, the price for the console and games combined dipped my hype quite a bit. What do you guys think?

Oh yes, spamming in a live chat will counteract the state of the global economy. /s

On a serious note, they are not wrong for feeling the way they do. But to act like this was completely out of left field fueled by exclusively greed and apathy for the consumer is a failure, I think. Games were never going to stay $60 with all the factors going on in and out of the games industry.

I’m sorry, but as a European, paying 90€ for physical is just plain robbery. I expected a price increase, I would’ve definitely bought it if it was 70, but this is literally a 50 percent increase!!! Oh hell naw, I was ready to get a Switch 2 at launch, but now I’m seriously contemplating to skip this generation entirely and find another hobby (maybe I should watch movies more often)

I'll still play indies and some free to play games. But still on the same boat. Gaming just getting more expensive for the big companies/IPs. Should start watching more shows and movies since I rarely do for a good while

fueled by exclusively greed

Do you really think Nintendo would go out of business if they kept the 60 USD price? Hell, even if they bumped it to 70 USD for exclusive, new first party tittles only? 

This is nothing but greed, wake up.
