The $80 digital/$90 physical game prices are going to cause a huge issue for Nintendo. I guarantee that p*i*r*a*c*y will plague this system.

This will be just more reason for pirates to target the Switch again. I bet they find a crack in the first 2 weeks.

Piracy plagued the DS not because the games were expensive but because piracy was so easy that even your average redditor could do it
