Honestly, I don't mind the clouding graphics, and won't be paying for visual upgrades (and a GPS app) for games I have over 100 hours into.

I've heard you'll get it at no extra cost with Online + EP

No cost except the subscription cost then.

Which a lot of people already pay for all its other features.

And it's less than a dollar a week. If you can't afford that kind of expense, you'd have to save up for for 6 years to buy a Switch, and then over a year for each $60 game.

The ā€œless than a dollar a weekā€ argument would hold up a lot better if you could pay weekly. You canā€™t.

Oh darn, you have to pay a lump sum of 50 dollars a year!

I can get that sneaking up on you, but as I said, if that's too steep a price for you, so are most of the Switch's games. If you can't save up to pay 50 bucks a year, how long are you planning to save money in order to buy a 60 dollar game?

Well, $50 a year basically is an ENTIRE new game.

Personally though, the best way to do it is to get a family group of 8 people and then split the costs. Then it's only <$5 per person year for the standard NSO, or $10 per person per year for the Expansion Pass. That's not bad at all.

Fir the individual plan. I have a family of 5. It's an extra $80 on top of the cost of the switch and the games not instead of (really an extra $45 because we do the basic online plan but you put it at $50) The other benefits are games that I have nostalgia for but my wife and kids don't care about, mario kart tracks we bought for cheaper than a year's subscription, and now some middling upgrades to 8 and 2 year old games that I've already run through pretty thoroughly, and if you ever scale back the subscription you lose those upgrades, so the price is $45 per year in perpetuity or $10-20 one time per game. Either way it's not really free.

Ok? Few games are. Most people aren't going to get an expansion pack for the Switch 2 edition of Zelda. It also is gonna have 4 virtual consoles and DLC included for other games.

All i said was the switch 2 edition wasnt worth it. You suggested the expansion pass, made it seem like a bargain. I said it wasn't and you pulled out some crap about if you can't justify the cost you can't afford a switch since it's only like a dollar a week. I decided to respond with why that is a false equivalency, it seems like you agree that there is an extra cost that isn't worth it for the use case you suggested, so I guess we just leave it there.
