    I haven’t owned a Nintendo console since the halcyon days of the SNES and shit like this doesn’t encourage me to break that habit.

      Held off on the switch at Christmas in anticipation of switch 2, mostly for the kids, think I’ll try them with PC gaming and see how they get on. I’ll get a lot more bang for buck upgrading my graphics card.

    Hardly kicking and screaming when you can just turn away.

    My game purchases this year have all been under £10. Last year the most expensive was Factorio: Space Age which I bought directly from their site. Most of my playtime this year has been in FOSS games and a few small indies like Soldak games.

    I haven’t paid full price for a game since I bought my Steam Deck.

    Sorry Nintendo - it’s going to be a hard pass for me. I think I can live without Mario Cart for $80

    I’m done buying games from these corporate fux.

    Only indie games for me from now on.

      I’m happy that I bought Baldurs Gate 3, but otherwise I didn’t buy anything and I am happy about that too.

      Last 2 triple A games I’ve bought (Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Civ 7) have both been awful. Meanwhile I spend 15 on a game like Roboquest and play it for 30 hours.

        The last triple A I bought was on a big sale because it’s long past its release date. Mostly ignoring modern ones, the only one I have wanted was BG3 which I am fully happy playing the many years waiting game for because I have so many other games to play first. c/patientgamers

          Oh yeah I bought BG3 on release. Now that is a good game. All other AAA are held to that standard imo. Looking forward to the update with all the new specs.

    Bringing you, maybe. I’m out ✌️ I’m not giving into the inevitable pre-planned reduction from 80/90 to 70/80, either.

      Same boat. I love my switch. Their direct said all the right things. New Mario kart looks great. I have faith meteoid and that new dk game will be fun. But the pricing makes it a no go. There’s just no way I’m going to pony up that much for one game.
