Maybe because pirating?! Maybe copyright? I'm not a lawyer lol.

Only nachos I like are the skating rink/gas station nachos that are only the cheap salty chips and that wonderful hot queso cheese that isn't really cheese.

Nachos with toppings like beans, rice, real cheese and olives are disgusting.

Here's one source. Just Google game development costs. This source is backed by others, it's just the first in my search that I saw and clicked on. Games are fucking expensive to build and market. GTAV is 250m according to this article.

Edit: does this work? I saw Genshin, which I've never played, is actually almost a billion rn which is insane for a F2P anime game. Wild.

Games are also a billion dollars to produce and market nowadays. Back on SNES they were like 500k.

MK7 was great! Critically and commercially. It was the best selling game on 3DS. Review scores between critics and users were all pretty high as well. I would say it's better than mediocre. Maybe for those chronically online...

The amount of angry gamer nerds is even more pathetic.

Nah, they'll blame developers and publishers. There will be death threats I'm sure. Boycotting companies out loud while still using their products.

SD has sold roughly a million units a year. Switch has sold 150m units in 8 years. Most people that buy one don't care about a Steam Library. They care about Mario and Zelda. Pokemon. They care about ease of use. And yeah, the console is roughly the same price as the CHEAPEST SKU the SD has.

People will still buy the Steam Deck but it's a completely different audience. One that is much smaller.

Lol! I'm not a Nintendo shill. I rarely play Nintendo. Priorities change in life and that means sometimes changing up how you do things. The Switch 2 fits into my family picture.

It just sounds like you're a broke little boy that can't afford to play video games anymore. You could always save for a few months. Maybe find a better job that pays more? Be better professionally.

Nintendo does not have to compete with the Steam Deck. Nintendo is in a league of their own when it comes to handheld gaming. They will surpass SD sales first month almost guaranteed.

You can't expect prices to never increase. That's not realistic. It sounds like small budget or free games are more your speed.

I personally can't wait. I have an OLED and MK8D but just didn't play it enough due to life getting in the way. This has me beyond excited to play it. It'll be nice to get into a game with my fiance from the start especially because she plays basically only animal crossing.

I'll give you IGN is less than cool but the game will be quality. I can't think of a bad Mario Kart game. I can't even think of a mediocre MK game. They have all been great.

I think it's for being excited about the Switch 2 and MKW despite it being sOoOOoo expensive. People are butthurt games are more money. Like, yeah it sucks that game prices are increasing but that's what entertainment does, it increases in price. Movie tickets have gone up. Concerts. Dining. I regularly have dates with my partner that cost what buying me and her MKW would cost and those last a few hours at best.

If you can't afford it then you can't. That sucks. Learn to save your money over time and buy it once you have it. If you can't then that means you probably shouldn't be spending the little you have on video games anyways.

Nope. Just swapped it out with the TV in the garage. It'll sit there until we see something on sale we like.

I can't wait for this game. It's gonna be so much fun. Switch 2 getting me excited about games again.

I haven't had burn in on an LCD in probably ten years. I leave my PC on for days at a time. TV for hours on a console dashboard. Same with my v1 switch. Zero burn in on any of them. I have one OLED TV that was left on while we went to the store and it's been permanently fucked.
