Yeah, you can really see the AAA cooperate enshitification taking hold.

Man, Nintendo in hiring the ex P&G/EA executive to run things has really had Nintendo embrace the EA enshitification roadmap and culture.

Okay.

Oooooooooh, fuck you Ubisoft.

I think it very tone deaf with regards to how their trying to up the prices of games, which I think is BS, and increasing the price of accessories, and locking things behind subscriptions.

Very much so a Blizzard, “don’t you have phones?” Type of situation.

Yes but loot boxes is gambling and is an addiction and gaming companies know this and exploit this.

Console are making 30 billion a year nowadays and studios are selling so many more copies of games than than thirty years ago and making money hand over fist with scummy microtransactions and fomo tactics.

And while AAA development costs have gone up, but again billions in profits, you’re actually going to defend that a cart racing game’s development is on par with Baldur’s Gate 3 that still sold for 60 bucks or monster Hunter wild for the new average of 70 bucks?

Please, here’s my variable rate call of bullshit. This is nothing more than Nintendo being greedy jackasses that know Nintendo fans will pay the extra 10 bucks more and allowing themselves to being gouged along with giving the other greedy publishes permission to do the same and exploit their fans, not that most aren’t doing so already, looking at you Rockstar.

As for your, look at all these studios going under, that’s not due to prices of games being too low, that’s a lot to do with over expansion due to COVID 19, AAA publishes continuing to chase the trend of live services and making dumbass moves, and back to publishers again, over playing their hands with acquisition after acquisition or just publishers being absolute jackasses, like Microsoft and Tango Studios where they praised Hi-Fi Rush being a breakout hit and then closed the studio because it didn’t make all the money and they did no marketing and released it on game pass.

Yeah, feel free to think Nintendo just doing gamers a solid here but I’m not variable rate dumb enough to buy it.

2001, 664 million in profit, adjusted for inflation in 2022 dollars, 1 billion.

www.tweaktown.com/news/84668/…/index.html

2022, 1.7 billion dollars in profit.

Won’t someone think of poor Nintendo and their billions of expenses making them just so, so poor!

Won’t someone think of the corporations!

But feel free to post your citations supporting your argument if you can take a moment to stop your corporate bootlicking.

Okay Billy Madison, you’re the one that brought up games were 50 dollars twenty years ago and saying profits aren’t keeping up with development costs in today’s market, but not exactly shocked you didn’t seem to make that connection here.

I mearly pointing out that Nintendo made a billion dollars, adjusted for inflation, twenty years ago at 50 dollars and they’ve made 1.7 billion dollars in 2022 when games were at 60-70 dollar range.

Sure seems like their doing just fine with profits vs increased development costs here, no justification for their variable pricing, extra 10 bucks on top, bullshit outside of corporate greed.

Again, go ahead and provide your facts to justify your position if you can stop your corporate bootlicking for just a moment.

Think I’m done playing chess with a pigeon for tonight.

I’m sure they’re getting a ton of cash from Nintendo.

I’ll stick to the steam deck and recommend it to anyone who asks.

Sure sounds like “were being greedy assholes.” in corporate speak.

They’ve been bumped up by ten dollars for the switch 2 vs 1 so there’s that.

So something that I wonder about with the MSRP is how much of that is a Nvidia tax that inflated the price? The Nvidia GPU market has been so absolutely screwed by Nvidia’s lack of competition pricing model.

Such a moronic take based on absolutely nothing.

It’s the only response required when you don’t even have any evidence, empirical or otherwise, to back up your moroinc claim.

Go away pigeon, you can’t play chess.

Come on, she’s too Republican to ever admit she’s wrong. Just down here, block and move on since she just craves attention that Daddy never have her.

inclementimmigrant, 3 miesiące temu

Just down vote and move on. She’s just a troll with no facts or figures, she just wants your attention that Daddy never gave her growing up. It was either the pole or the troll for her.

Hey I’m going to have a discussion with you because honestly she’s kind of unhinged and needs to be back on the pole.

Hey did you know that revenue from the gaming industry for the past 40-ish years went from 15 billion to 183 billion since 2022?

visualcapitalist.com/video-game-industry-revenues…

I do wonder where on that timeline woke took down the industry.

Hey did you know baldur’s Gate 3, full of inclusion, sold 15 million copies? They went woke and made a shit ton of money making a great game.

gamingbolt.com/baldurs-gate-3-has-reportedly-sold…

Did you also know that marvel rivals, that somehow idiots think it’s woke earned 130 million in it’s first month. I mean that’s a whole other capitalism conversation but still.

This is absolutely 3dfx level of screwing over consumers and all about just faking frames to get their “performance”.
