  This is Nintendo, they make games cheap and sell for way more than it is worth. Also, with the massive increase in how Many people buy games these days, even $60 is more than enough to cover costs and have enough left over for the next game. The biggest “cost” in making games is paying the dozens of execs who do nothing all day billions of dollars.

  It’s all excuses, every greedy company does it. Take Games Workshop for example, when they switched from metal to plastic minis they said they were “forced” to increase prices “temporarily” to recover the cost of the new molds, but then Never decreased the price again, and instead just kept increasing it over time for fewer models.

  Sorry bro, you get all of the above. Price go up, micro-transactions increase, more ads, and games get worse. We’re already seeing it happen, most games are overpriced and not even finished when they come out these days, and yeah, we are seeing ads in games now, especially sports games, and it seems Every game has to have a battlepass or some shit these days.

  You want good games without ads or micro BS? Buy indie, play old games, and wait for the AAA industry to collapse in on itself.

  Nintendo just greedy, always have been, always will be. Don’t buy their trash, just emulate it.

  I did report some stuff in the past when I had an account, but usually it was either because it actually violated rules of a sub (Such as “Memes only” and someone posts a random screenshot with a rage bait title) or because it was actually straight up awful shit, I did get a few accounts banned as a result but they were posting actually vile stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you're still on Reddit...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I doubt it, unless I find specific content that only exists on that platform if those changes do occur. I have some very specific, LEGAL, interests that are fairly niche and hard to come by, and I have little interest in social media, so I often only create accounts on something if I actively like the content, either nsfw or sfw. Here, for example, I am here for sfw content.

  I only had an account explicitly to follow a small set of NSFW creators who only posted to Twitter and nowhere else, so yeah, pretty easy to let go of that.

  I got perma-banned for saying that the US Military won’t give a shit about what is happening because they only care if it involves bombing muslims. The “reason” they gave was that I was promoting hate-speech somehow.

  When Twitter-man did the salute, I deleted my old account (hadn’t used it in years anyway) When Facebook-man said “no more fact checking,” I deleted my old facebook (only kept it to keep in contact with, like, 2 people) When Tumblr-man banned the porn, I deleted my tumblr (you can guess why I had it) When Reddit-man said he wants to paywall the biggest subs, I deleted my reddit (also got banned but I prefer to say I did it for a better reason)

  Every protestor should come armed in some way to ensure the protest doesn’t get attacked by cops. Everyone knows cops are cowards, so if they think there is even a chance of a gun being present, they won’t get near it, just like school shootings.
