Absolutely fair. An 8nyewr old game should not cost $90 all in.

I dont dispute that. I just think the article is misleading as there is a lot of talk about $90 switch 2 games, which turned out not to be true, and it creates anger that is misplaced. Even if the reality isn’t far from that lie.

I do, however, think it’s an interesting thought experiment to come at it from another angle.

Imagine the article was “8 year old AAA game and DLC at a huge discount” and the article said things like:

• breath of the wild was ahead of its time on release
• the graphics still look great thanks to the cell shadong and art style
• unique gameplay elements and a modern feeling combat system
• vast open world with expansive storyline
• on par with modern games
• currently only $50 on this deal, a bargain considering everything you get for that price

From this point of view i think you would agree that anyone would argue its worth more than $50 and that its a great deal despite being 8 years old.

Nintendo games should definitely come down in price over time, but the point is its just so easy to spin something however you want if you use the right words.
