I like how this article does not talk about the anti consumer practices engaged in by Nintendo, that might push some customers away from their consoles. /s Nintendo can disable your Switch 2 for piracy in the U.S., but not in Europe, as confirmed by its EULA. There is already a switch in my household, but the price along with the ability to remotely brick the device, is what made our household pass on the switch 2. We bought a second steam deck instead.
its actually more expensive if you include all the fees with online play, subscription that is required, even moreso with things like pokemon, also DLCs.
Isn’t everything more expensive if you include the costs of buying more stuff needed to enjoy it? PC, Console, Car, House, Burger, etcetera.
Online play on the Switch is $20 a year. The fact that they charge for online play and save backups is bullshit but not anywhere as bad as people pretend.
Isn’t Pokémon like a regular game you only need to buy once?
Switch 2 - $500 Pokemon - $70 Pokémon DLC - $30 Online - $20
$620 to play Pokemon
I don’t play Pokémon but games with crazy fandoms (Diablo, CoD, Final Fantasy) always seem to get milked for every penny.
