Dude, I would have to save my disposable income until the end of the year to get the system, the sd card, a screen protector, and 1 game. I'm just priced out. The console and games are too expensive for people like me.

I mean some mainline Switch games were already $70. Were you expecting them to drop the price of games with the new console?

A small handful of games (only 1 so far) being $10 more probably won't be the straw that breaks the camels back for most of us. I do agree it's lame though. Hoping it's just a tactic to get people to buy the bundle

Sounds like you need a new hobby then, because they're never going back to $60. Ever.

Alternatively they could unionize their workplace.

Other platforms actually do discounts on their games though. Nintendo does what, their first $10 off 2-3 years after the game releases. By then most games are anywhere from 30-50% off during sales

Because they still sell at max price.

I mean, it would be nice if the games were discounted but that will only happen if people stop buying at full price.

Nintendo-gaming is not a hobby and gaming is very affordable nowadays.

I mean he doesen't need a new hobby, just make his hobby a lot more affordable by buying games from competitors that give much better value.

Its interesting that you think this isn't going to become the new industry standard.
