Uhhh, did some exec really think people would pay $70 for a fucking 10 year old game?!?!

They can’t be fucking serious right?

it's not more expensive because 60 dollars in 2017 is worth 78 dollars now :)

Tendies will. They've been buying the same game for 20 years.

This, unironically.

well yeah. its an upgraded version releasing at a later point in time on a new system. of course the number of dollars should be higher. that doesn't mean it's more expensive thoughbeit

You forgot the depreciation.

Kys goycattle cuck

It will sell less than it would at 60

Yeah, just like some exec in 2020 thought people would pay 70 bucks for a remake. (First game to ever be priced that high, incidentally.)

But oh, its okay because its FromSoft.

maybe next life you won't be a turd worlder

Reminder that only 25% of switch 1 games are compatible with switch 2

That was a remake though with new textures, this is a literal port.

No one bought it

Name one "rich people video game" that actually wasn't a disaster.

i don't know what the fuck a "rich people video game" is because i won't starve from paying 70 dollars for entertainment that will last me months. get a fucking job or pirate but stop the whining you disgusting ple

changing max resolution and frame rate values, and making some dumb phone app nobody will use constitutes a paid “upgrade”

jew angry people are finally talking about inflation

reminder that dark souls III with dlcs still costs 90 fucking dollars even though it was released a decade ago but this is somehow fine

Video games are mass consumption products, "premium" video games always been a failure.
also its 90 dollars

But the product is past laurelswith nothing new.

no, no it is not, pedro
get a job

Adhominem will not make the game sell more.
It will sell less, and give less money to nintendo, and they will have to probably do discounts to get people to actually touch the thing.

$70

It's $90 plus tip plus subscription plus tariff, chud

Have you ever considered not being poor, snoy tranny?

raising the resolution and framerate is not an upgrade

is this snoy cope or what am i reading?

Not defending them for having the game full price but you can just buy for very cheap an used copy of Zelda and pay the stupid $10 upgrade.

Inflation isn't real because wages didn't go up.

it's okay because it's nintendo
i love guzzling miyamoto's cum!

Changing two lines of code is not an upgrade.

And yet nobody complained when The Last of Us gets remastered for the umpteenth time.

Is broke, is woke
Simple as

nobody complained

What? Did you miss the ten thousand threads of crying?

lmao if you arent earning more than in 2017 then you really shouldnt be spending your time on vidya you worthless bum, or on v for that matter

And that exec would be correct. Nintendorks will literally buy anything with the Nintendo logo. That's why they raised it to $90 to see just how retarded their fans can get.

Prices go down, sales go up
Prices go up, sales go down

There's no magic, no mystery, no inflation, no "how much it is worth", no nothing, just the sweet spot where the you get the biggest profit number from the combination of profits per unit x number of sales.

Nintendo fans have no standards. I explain to friends in detail how they’re being scammed and they still buy the games because they’re fucking cultists.

80

Tendies will

upgraded version

Yeah people were playing your “upgraded version” on Yuzu almost 8 years ago you colossal cuck.

cool now explain record profits when companies keep raising prices

They did the same with skyward sword a year ago

buy better hardware

have to pay a fee to use it

you're being scammed mate

0 dollars btw

Nintendo realized that it was in a unique position where its fans are outright religious. They'll consider the opportunity to pay more for the same old shit a privilege.

you dont have to pay anything, you can still play the switch 1 version without paying anything and it will most likely still run better
whats the point of brining piracy during price discussions? you arent very smart, are you? probably poor too

added new content

lovingly remastered the game so it loads faster and runs better

It's well worth the price.

tendies before

We don't care about performance I don't even know what framerates area looks fine to me plays fine on my switch

tendies now

WAOW ZELDA HAS NEVER LOOKED BETTER THAN GLORIOUS 4K (FAKE) AND 60 FPS OH MY DAYS

its ok if todd do it

raising the resolution and framerate is not an upgrade

i must be missing something here, are you just retarded?

buy better hardware

expect to play everything for free

its not a pc anon

70 dollars new. 95% of people coming into the Switch 2 that had a Switch will have this game. So it is 10 dollars for DLC. I still agree that is too much. 5 dollars max. Now, here is the real thing we need to be asking. Does the Switch 2 version come pre packaged with BotW's DLC? Because if it doesn't, fuck jewtendo.

The ones that actually are making record profits are either riding bubbles or found a new, more profitable market (in this case both).
Also do not confuse actual profit coming from the products with stock price rise.
stock prices are basically just a "how much the boomers think the company is worth", and any attempt at actually cashing that out would end up in immediate failure.
It is good for getting better loans, but that's about it.

BotW came out 10 years ago?

8 years ago

same game

3 times

is this snoy cope or what am i reading?

No just laughing at consoletards that think editing the most basic shit necessitates a paid upgrade.
Feel free to be a good goy and pay for the console and then pay extra for the same game you already own, just to play it at a playable framrate this time.

genshin impact won and it wasn't even that hard. what a fucking embarrassment they lost from a gachashit. just fucking make a zelda ntr game instead.

but it's new hardware anon. you still pay for hardware on pc.
and there are games that rerelease on pc all the time for reasons like improved visuals and performance. you seem to be digging for a problem that isn't here.

the year is 2030

ntintendo is still reselling wii u games at full price

>expect to play everything for free

Wow there, don't hurt yourself punching that strawman too hard, anon.

It's a new hardware

So selling the game at $40 or $30 bucks is not an option!

It NEED to be $70!

This kind of business that the Japanese like to do explains why they hate mods so much that they put DRMs in their games for the sole purpose of stopping these practices. The idea that a game sold 7 years ago can be improved without you having to pay is an affront to them.

whats the point of brining piracy during price discussions?

As Gabe Newell said, piracy is a service problem. It’s not just because the games are free, it’s that buying switch games on the console is objectively a worse experience for every increasing cost

inflation

if salaries dont go up too it makes no difference retard-kun

Uhhh, did some exec really think people would pay $70 for a fucking 10 year old game?!?!

They can’t be fucking serious right?

if you're going to buy it for $70 anyway, why list it for $30?

they got to greedy if the games were 70 dollars, no one would be bitching

you still pay for hardware on pc

Yea sure

games that rerelease on pc all the time for reasons like improved visuals and performance

High? Like what? Yea sure there are entire remakes for games, but I have never once paid just for better performance and slightly better graphics options. That’s all shit I was already able to do with the new hardware. It’s not like this is even a remastered version of the game.
In fact, the only time I can think of off the top of my head where there was a non-remake “upgrade” for a game was for Bioshock 1/2 and Skyrim. Both of which they gave out for free to owners of the original on steam.
