Is it greed? It’s greed
Why’d you do it? “It’s the highest we could go without necessarily labeling it as exorbitant” lmao
And for that reason and just the amount of care and work that the team put into it, I think it was decided that, 'Yeah, this feels like $9.99 is not an exorbitant price. It feels like a good value for what you’re getting out of the product
Man has a hard time pronouncing “greed”
Nothing out of the ordinary for Nintendo, unfortunately. Even the blockbuster Wii Sports was an aberration that they had to be convinced about.
[Reggie] Fils-Aimé pushed for [Wii Sports to be bundled free with the Wii], and initially company President Satoru Iwata turned the proposal down: “Nintendo does not give away precious content for free.”
This game doesn’t even seem like it will have the same replay value of Wii sports. I don’t know who would want to open this game just to re read some descriptions of features.
Nintendo wouldn’t give something away for free to save a life.
In 2006 they bundled Wii Sports with the Wii, which seemed to benefit them considering the Wii’s success. Though, the Switch 1 had a the demo “1, 2, Switch” for 60 USD and sold better than the Wii, though culturally, more people probably know about Wii Sports compared to 1, 2, Switch.
And Reggie had to fight hard to get them to do it.
“We do not give away our software,” Miyamoto said. Guess he forgot about all these somehow.
Lol paying for a demo disc and you don’t even get a magazine or a pizza along with it
Switch 2 Backward Compatibility Fees: Charging €10–20 to play old games on new hardware (with minor upgrades) is a consumer-hostile move. The €10 demo is purely a joke.
True, but it was already established as precedent by Sony and Microsoft. Paying for a tutorial isn’t, though!
Well the more mainstream gaming got, the more idiots are buying games and stuff, the more gaming companies exploit us. I did not know about that for Sony and Microsoft. I knew other shitty things they did, but as i only play on PC and having a Switch (only console after PS1), i miss some details about how really bad gaming exploit has gotten.
