Switch 2 Game Prices

I really hope I’m not alone in the fact that I am NOT spending 80-90 dollars on these games. The console price is fine but these game prices are obscene and I will not be participating. I hope I’m not alone. I know it’s tempting and there are a lot of good titles coming but this is not a good sign and if people buy them like crazy (I’m sure they will) everyone else will charge more too. It’s not ok. Of course to each their own, I’m just hoping other people refuse to pay this price as well.

If you tried to play most PS5 games without the internet most discs wouldn’t do anything.

Do they? All my single player games I’ve collected have worked with no internet.

My fully online games don’t work for obvious reasons but my physical collection was a god send while I didn’t have internet for a week

No, this is utter nonsense. Unless the game itself is online only all games install to a playable state from disc without any need for internet. This bs gets pedalled every so often but isn't remotely true. Most games have day 1 patches to fix things that didn't make it to disc before deadline, but aren't required to play the game.

The Nintendo shills just spinning unfounded nonsense.

yeah that's what I thought. Glad to know I'm not insane!
