they kinda did this with SWSH when it first came out, all the old fans were pissed, but the constant promotions by influencers dint help.
Doug Bowser confirmed variable pricing in an interview. Not every game will be $80
I believe he may be quite surprised soon when people don’t buy it.
I have a solution, create a cheap knock-off & make it opensource. You guys can name the game-characters.
Haven't had the urge to buy a Nintendo game since the GameCube. Sure, the Wii was fun at parties back in the day but that's about it. I've tried the new Mario and Zelda games but they always look and feel like low effort garbage meant to snare the same croud as "Disney adults".
Your friendly reminder that Half Life was $49 in 1998, which is roughly $100 today.
Cool, now do the cost of everything else and compare then to now and you might have some idea of why $80 for a video game is a bitter pill to swallow.
Friendly reminder that games from 1998 were just games and didn’t have endless predatory mechanics designed to cripple the game in some way to extract money from you after you bought them too.
