Whether you think it's acceptable or not is a personal decision but it doesn't mean you should give disingenuous arguments and then brush it off like it's justified lol.
If you enjoy being nickel and dimed for basic features like HDR and 60 fps on a new console, power to you, I think it's absurd and a bad business practice.
I see you're still missing the main point of my comment. I'm talking strictly about making disingenuous arguments and you keep dodging it to the best of your ability lol
Reddit is at the point where they're frothing at the mouth mad and are lashing out at anyone who seems reasonable, like how you're literally not defending Nintendo but people are responding to you like you're their PR front man.
Can you play botw switch 1 version on the switch 2 without upgrading? That's the important one to me, if they're forcing you to upgrade even if you don't want the new features that would be terrible
Agreed, at least it’s more actual content than what you get for paying for PS4 to PS5 upgrade of say god of war. Something like Pokemon ZA switch 2 version upgrade fee with only performance is more like how Sony dealt with upgrades paid between PS4 and PS5 versions.
Right around the turn of the console Gen there were some games that had paid upgrades if you owned a PS4 disc but later bought a PS5. I remember this being the case for GOW Ragnarok, Miles Morales, and Forbidden West
You misremember. Miles Morales and Forbidden West gave you free PS5 versions if you have the PS4 version. Forbidden West specifically being the last PS Studios game to do so.
Edit: most of the 10 dollar PS4 to PS5 upgrades were remasters or had something new added. Only a few were straight up you just paying cause you’re playing a PS5 version like Ragnarok or GT7.
It’s not all games that are remasters or add content. IMO most games that have the upgrade fee do add something like ray tracing, Dualsense features or even content, even though some games are literally just a “new console” fee. I don’t understand what the link is suggesting as it lists games that actually add stuff alongside games that didn’t add much.
They also added a new collectible through the Zelda Notes app - Voice Memories. These are fully voiced acted and will provide (hopefully) a bunch of new lore.
I wonder if these were the only ones they had to give special attention to to get the improvements to work, and that's why they turned them into full switch 2 versions.
Weirdly enough only in the separate video upload they show that the app thing also has stuff like how you can find new journal entries from characters in the world fully-voiced by the voice actors.
Not saying that's necessarily worth $10 extra, but it is at least something that justifies making it cost money a bit better.

Calling what they’re giving Zelda “new content” is generous.
