You will get used to it, just like you got used to $70. You can afford another $10 per AAA title...

You will get used to it, just like you got used to $70. You can afford another $10 per AAA title. That's like half a lunch.

I get $5 lunch though

I don't buy AAA slop thoughbeit.

lol. with Trump Tarrifs it'll be 90 bucks.

just like you got used to $70

I didn't buy a single $70 game, and I will continue to not.

NINETY DOLLARS FOR MARIO KART

Nintendo know how dumb their audience is

Came here to post exactly this.
Last game I bought full price new when it first came was probably over 10 years ago. Don't see that changing any time soon.

so true king

The price hikes from 60 to 70 and then 70 to 80 has actually lowered the amount of full price games I will play. The only $80 game I bought is Wilds and that's because I wanted more Monster Hunter and it's going to be an investment as the game gets updates for the next 2 years + DLC and 2 more years of updates.

$80 is expensive

why are you a poorfag?

he bought

I never got used to 70. It's never "just 10 dollars more." It's now 30 dollars more. It's 50% more.

not spending $80 on lunch

Are you poor? Maybe I should be giving you money instead of buying video games.

I WILL be buying used games.

Nah. I don't pick up anything unless it's on sale for 30 bucks or less.

Not as dumb as frogposting faggots

i dont even buy 60 dollar games

I wouldn't be bad IF DEVS ALSO DIDN'T DO DLCS OUT OF THE ASS

I don't buy new games.

The Trump tariffs are the reason why it has the lowest generation to generation pricing increase. Nearly 70% increase in Japan. 75%-100% increase everywhere else besides the US where it's a 50% increase.
Now thank Trump for helping return video games back to hobbyists and not homosex normie scum like you.

I can afford it. Doesn't mean I'll pay it. I wouldn't even pay $40 for most modern games.

richfag here

proof in picture

and even i don't like my games costing $80, you faggot

Pirates your game

nothin personnel nigger...

flexing 10 grand

ultimate poorfag, even your dreams are of being poor

but you said it was half a lunch when the price went from 60 to 70 too...
now I'm skipping a whole lunch...

Just eat cheaply for two lunches instead of skipping one.

There hasn't been a worthwhile game that was more than $60 in the past decade, hell most decent games anymore don't even break $30. 9 times out of 10 charging $70+ just tells me your game is "AAAA" dogshit

I never got used to 70, though.

You retards are incapable of seeing the bigger picture, ever. It's all hysteria and retardation, all the time. No wonder your policies are so destructive.

tendie shiteaters will buy $90 games because they already bought a $70 dlc

Make a game worth 80$ then, because so far games have not even come close to being even 60$
otherwise i'm not buying, i already skipped the switch because it was a underpowered fisher price tablet, i can do it a second time.

Complaining about game prices going up is the most retarded thing I've ever seen. All these retards bitch endlessly that games go up in price, but can't even process for 2 seconds that that happens with EVERYTHING.
$80 games is the most nonissue ever, you can afford that with 4-5 hours of work, its fucking nothing. Try buying a house.

Nah. I'll just pirate everything.

Try buying a house.

I'll never be able to, so why should I support vidya industry kikes so they can buy their 3rd home?

I never got used to the 70EUR that they're asking here. It's very easy to skip since the vast majority of these games asking for such prices look like complete trash anyway.

You will get used to $80

Welcome to 2 years ago...

I spend my money on things that matter.

Buy a dozen games

Your entire net worth goes down by 10%

Lmfao

The games people buy right now are already not worth the price they pay, and the rare occasion that there is actually a good game it's worth almost any reasonable price that could be asked.
I hope games get even MORE expensive, but in return I hope gamers demand higher quality games and less full price slop.

PLEASE say that's 10 million and you just cut off the screencap

theses

Hows that dodge charger at 32% apr treating you, champ?
Difference being "EVERYTHING" else is far more necessary to life than a fucking videogame.
This is a luxury product, when you're currently teetering on the edge of an economic recessionwe're in one but silently! and are in a massive cost of living crisis luxury goods tend to come last.

This isn't even touching on how you can get a dozen videogames made several years ago for $80 due to frequent sales. The japs understand this which is why the games aren't going up in price in Japan, they've been in an economic recession for 30 years now.

b-but in the past games were $100!

The carts they came on were 70% of the price. Today the games are plastic boxes with a code that costs a fraction of a penny to download.

Same.
I'm waiting for Metaphor and VV to go on at least 30$ sale.

What fucking game is worth $80? I can buy a 20 year old game for $5 that could give me dozens of hours of pure unadulterated fun that blows many modern games out of the water

I didn't even pay $60 for games. I used to buy used back when that was a thing, now I just pirate.

$60 for decades

hike prices up to $70

I resisted this shit and it made me a lot choosier and reluctant to buy any new game. I think I've only bought 1 or 2 games at $70 since it was introduced

hike prices up to $80 not even half a decade later

some titles even up to $90

Nah, fuck you noseberg.

The industry wants GTA6 to be $100 so they can all raise their prices to $100.

Isn't mario cart bundled in with the system?

Unfortunately, the normie retards are probably going to eat it up. Triple digit standard edition games on release. Fucking shameful.

I don't play shitty ass kiddie games.

Just use your vast videogame knowledge to get the money, ez. I was out in public pickpocketing people like a hidden one and everything I sold to the pawn shop got me enough to buy a switch 2 easily.

Try buying a house.

I would if they weren't so fucking expensive these days.

Not only will I never buy a game that costs even a cent more than $60, but even in the event that I would pirate a game and buy it later for support, I'm only going to pay for them on sale when they go for half off at $40. I can afford all of these games, but I refuse to support an industry trying to spike prices like this.

I have never paid 70 dollars for a video game

This is a luxury product

Exactly, its a luxury product. Several hundred dollar anime statues are also a luxury product. You do not NEED them, the price of them going up is a minor inconvenience at most. Its an absolute nothing burger to bitch about.

The japs understand this which is why the games aren't going up in price in Japan

Games vary in price in Japan, like Dragon Quest XI was the equivalent of like $80-90 already in Japan back when it came out. I remember jealously looking at it on the Japanese PS store and my friend remarking how he would never pay that much for a game, while I responded with "I would gladly pay $100 for Dragon Quest"

updates for the next 2 years + DLC and 2 more years of updates.

You will have to pay for Iceborne 2, and end up spending $150+

just like you got used to $70

But I didn't

I've been paying these prices for years buying JP copies of games since I refuse to support the fucking translators.

so heres the deal, if you want vidya prices to stay the same(they wont) or at a reasonable low price then you would have to accept more cheap jeets and chinks making your games at western companies, whether or not that will degrade the quality to an even more noticeable point than right now, thats still up in the air, non of you noticed an increase of prices for all goods these days? electricity, food, living expenses? how do you expect games to stay the same?

mario kart and GTA VI are worth the same amount of money

I'll be keking as I pirate all my games

90% of posters on this board bought the ultimate edition of COD on release.
it's been that way ever since they bent the knee for modern warfare 2

you can afford that with 4-5 hours of work

$16-$20/hr

Do you understand how many people this does not apply to

Sounds like you got bigger problems than whining about not being able to afford luxuries then.

holy fuck I really am surrounded by children

nah I have game pass I paid for with ms rewards points. keep coping with your $80 shovelware.

Nah, I aint paying for that shit lol.

I’ve never paid more than $8 for a game

Good, keep the poorfags out of my games

I've only bought 3 games at full price ($60) over the last 5 years. Never going to touch any game more expensive than that, much less rehashed tendieslop.

Mario Kart is $80, GTA VI is $100+.
Also Mario Kart is worth more, I wouldn't buy GTA VI if it was $20. Not after they abandoned V in favor of Online, I'm not paying money for more GTA Online. That shit was so unfun.

the price of them going up is a minor inconvenience at most.

My man consumer credit debt has been balooning the last several years as people attempt to keep their quality of life the same by swiping the CC.
Those "minor inconveniences" stack together.

By all means get excited to spend more for less, personally rent is increasing 9% per year, I'm not paying $80 or god forbid $90 videogame when I already have a backlog of kino that cost me $2 for AAA titles from 5 years past.

never bought a singe $70 game in my life

f(ourth)pbp

do you know where you are

I'll just buy on sale more
I'll just buy lower budget games more
I'll just pirate more

I'm not excited to pay more, but its just a whatever thing when the price goes up a bit.
I can afford them easily cause I only buy like 3 maybe 4 games a year. I mostly play older games I own or emulate stuff. The only people the price increase is "hurting" are those who insist on buying everything that comes out even when they can't afford to, in which case they need to get their priorities straight.

I'm fairly certain they're just attaching the $80 price point to drive more people to get the digital bundle. I think they want to beat MK8DX's number by ensuring that the attach rate of MKW will be like +90%
Their goal is to recoup the cost as much as possible and fast as possible. So I think they want to drive people to pick up MKW as early as they can with the discount.
Also, it's worth remembering Nintendo will still be offering their vouchers, which were applicable for use with TOTK at no additional cost. That's how I got TOTK digital for just $50 ultimately.
I think they intend to do the same here: push more people to get their games digital (and thus no cartridge cost)

they intend to do the same here: push more people to get their games digital (and thus no cartridge cost)

Spend more money to own nothing? I don't think so, pal.

just like you got used to $70

what relevant games cost $70 you retard?
i didn't buy zelda tiktok btw

$9,99 is the best I can do. There's enough games to keep me entertained for that price or less. And no shitty launchers

I'm peruvian and I got more money in my wells fargo account

I will do . . . nothing

Can’t believe because of tendies we have to listen to people spout shit like this. Death to all tendies, even if its really too good for them.

Spending $80 vidya, especially tendieslop, is unacceptable. That being said, how poor are you niggers? $80 is like two hours' work for me and I don't even make that much money. Spend less time seething about nintendo game prices on Anon Babble and more time getting a better job brokies

no way this nigga just posted 10 bands like it's a flex kek

You can afford another $10 per AAA title.

true because i only buy one every year max

I could easily afford to buy a couple of new Switch 2s every month but that doesn't mean that I'm going to pay these retarded prices for games.

$80 is a lot of money

buying (actually renting without a specified end date) a videogame

investment

Anon, you don't have to pretend you made some kind of smart financial decision when you bought a toy, just admit that you didn't want to wait for a sale.

don't worry because it will get way worse with tariffs, Switch 2 will cost 600 or more Worldwide
