- Comment on PS5 price to rise in Europe, Australia and New Zealand 19 hours ago:
If you don’t care about bleeding edge 8k visuals at 240fps, the pricing becomes more reasonable. I’m fine with 1080p 60fps, which allows for a cheaper GPU to run games decently. And you can’t deny that as far as game pricing is concerned, PC is far more consumer-friendly than console, even if you don’t take piracy into account.

I’ll wait and pay $90 for the Switch 2 version.

I prefer gaming on a TV and the simplicity of putting a game in and it just works on console, which is why I’ve always mainly been a console peasant. I’ve always also gamed on PC, but as more of a side thing. These prices, though…gaming is rapidly becoming too expensive for the average person to keep up with playing the newest stuff. PCs are a higher up front cost, but the open nature of the platform means you have a lot more flexibility with how you can obtain games.

I expect I’ll be using the money that would have gone to a PS6 to invest in a decent gaming PC when the time comes.
- Comment on PS5 price to rise in Europe, Australia and New Zealand 22 hours ago:
Gaming is becoming less and less accessible and more and more of a luxury.
The writing has been on the wall for a while that I’m going to have to move away from consoles and game mainly on PC, where there are other options for obtaining games. Walled gardens all having Apple pricing is unacceptable to me.
- Comment on Nintendo confirms $90 price for full Breath of the Wild experience on Switch 2 22 hours ago:
Yup, which is exactly how Nintendo wants it. I feel like they’ve always had things that mitigated their BS “never lower the price of games, EVER” philosophy, most notably cheaper hardware than the competition and a lower price point for games ($60 rather than $70). Now they have a console that’s almost as much as a PS5 AND are charging MORE than $70 for some of their games? Maybe the market can handle their excessive pricing, but I hope they get knocked down a peg.

There are Switch games being released in 2026. I expect new Switches will continue to be produced at least until then.

No for-profit company does as they don’t get money from them. This is not caring about anyone who’s not wealthy.

And subscriptions, MTX…game companies are making bank and would still make more than enough if games were $50.
- Comment on Nintendo confirms $90 price for full Breath of the Wild experience on Switch 2 1 day ago:
It’s basically the PS4 to PS5 $10 upgrade thing. The difference is that Nintendo isn’t dropping the price of their 8 year old game, unlike what the rest of the industry does. So it’s $60 BotW + $20 DLC + $10 Switch 2 upgrade = $90. Absolutely ridiculous.
- Comment on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include the DLC 1 day ago:
Yes, when the game is new. Then, when it’s been out a while, the standard practice is to bundle the DLC together with the base game at a lower price.

No, I just think it’s cool to see an animal in such an old photo that’s still alive today.

Unclear.
Frodo looked up at the Elf standing tall above him, as he gazed into the night, seeking a mark to shoot at. His head was dark, crowned with sharp white stars that glittered in the black pools of the sky behind.
Does he have dark hair, or was he silhouetted in the night? His father is described as having golden hair. I think either interpretation could be correct.

- Comment on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include the DLC 3 days ago:
This isn’t even industry standard - charging $10 to “upgrade” a game, yes, but as far as I can remember the DLC is always included with the game at the base game price when it’s been out for a while.
I hope Nintendo’s extreme arrogance and greed bites them in the ass. Will probably have to wait a year or so after launch to know since I’m sure it will take that long to get Switch 2s to all the diehards with money to burn. I’ll be interested to see how it sells to everyone else.
