"These price increases have multiple intertwining causes, some direct and some less so: inflation, pandemic-era supply crunches, the unpredictable trade policies of the Trump administration, and a gradual shift among console makers away from selling hardware at a loss or breaking even in the hopes that game sales will subsidize the hardware. And you never want to rule out good old shareholder-prioritizing corporate greed.
But one major factor, both in the price increases and in the reduction in drastic “slim”-style redesigns, is technical: the death of Moore’s Law and a noticeable slowdown in the rate at which processors and graphics chips can improve."
Up there I was talking about silicon specifically. But on this topic…
Sure, this is 100% discretionary spend and I am deff not buying but I am also a Linux user and will use emulators for my kids because fuck Nintendo and thei r parasitic business practices
But you have to see how a less sophisticated consumer is being price gouged? We are talking about games for kids at adult man with a job prices.
Or is u “efficient markets” typa a guy?
I agree with your fundamental premise but behaviour is scammy IMHO
No one is being price gouged by Nintendo. It’s a luxury technology device. Gaming is more for adults than kids these days, and had been for a long time. The average age of gamers has been increasing for decades and is around 30 years old.
So we should charge this idiots adult working man prices 🤡
Good job bootlicking, champ
Once more but in English please?
Sure but why is u mad tho
You’re the one that seems mad. I understand that not being able to afford something doesn’t mean that there is “price gouging” going on. I understand that I’m not entitled to everything I want being affordable to me with pocket change.
Well good thing there is piracy to check these bootlicker attitudes at least
Bootlicker, another term so misused by the left that it now means nothing.
I don’t think the switch 2 emulation scene is going to go anywhere after what Nintendo did to the yuzu devs. Not to mention that now any emulation would have to try and emulate the cuda cores, which has never been a thing in consoles before.
Just save your pocket money for a few years, maybe ask your parents what other little jobs you can do to earn a bit extra, and you’ll get a switch 2 eventually.
“The left” 🤡
