The level of entitlement of these Nintendo gamers is disgusting

[winb83]

OP is 52 year old man with no kids, no wife, and no female companion to speak of and has a shyt ton of disposable income to come on here and harp on investments and time to play every 100+ hour jrpg. It's easy to sit there and talk shyt about the people complaining about the price of things when you've all but eliminated any of the familial costs related to life and only have to look out for yourself. Consumers have a right to complain and protest when a company decides to implement things that habitually cross the boundary between greed and providing a good value. You act like the complaints affect you. Shouldn't you just be shelling out your $500 bucks $100 for games and be unconcerned with the opinions of others on the price?

I'm 42 not 52. Grimace was 52.

I live a modest life and I don't make a lot of money. My income is somewhere around $90K a year. That ain't shit it's in line with the average household income. I live in the same apartment I lived in when my income was making $25K a year. I drove a beater hand me down car for years. My co-workers mocked me for it. I put thousands into it to starve off getting a newer car and drove it till it literally fell apart and almost got me into an accident on the road.

Long story short most people are financially in the position they're in not because everything is expensive but because they deliberately live at the edge of what they can afford buying the most expensive house they can get and getting the most expensive car possible. I choose to live well under my means. If I lived at the edge of what I could afford I wouldn't have the disposable income I do. Plenty of people making 2x or 3x what I make in a year live paycheck to paycheck.

Don't care if you have a family or not. The rules are the same. Never buy anything other than a house you don't have the money to pay for in cash in the bank period. Always live beneath your means. You think most Americans follow those rules?

No ones gonna do shyt

no one really gives a fukk, its just somethign to talk about

@ you falling the fukk back when held to task

I'll be the one to say it: you @Rekkapryde and @Fatboi1 were all willing to drop $100 for GTA6, citing the costs of game development like the average consumer is supposed to give 2 shyts about that, and talking about inflation and them old cartridges prices yall parents paid for

But now $80-90 Switch 2 games are a problem and yall want to clown Nintendo for it. It's a couple more but yall are repeat offenders

Average household income for a family of 4 is 50k. Most people are broke because they don’t get paid enough.

Anyway why didn’t you have enough money saved away to fix your tire? Car repairs are a known expense you should have been saving up for or do all your earnings go to Nintendo.

Not to mention they were the same exact ones defending the price of the PS5 Pro and making some of the same exact arguments that people are making on Nintendo's behalf. One of the other defenders is the poster that you're responding to.

The energy is completely different.

I'm buying Mario Kart World lol. I never said nothing about game development costs either for GTA VI. All I said in that thread was that most people online who fronting like they not going to buy it if it was $100 would cave in day 1. Only person I was coming at was @The Mad Titan for not saying nothing and deflecting to his usual "Sony stans " shtick and not keeping the same energy.

Fake news it's $80K.

People are broke cause when they have a baby they go out and buy $50K+ SUVs that get 24 mpg and finance $40K or more of it having $1200 a month wrapped up in a damn car with insurance. You put a $1500 mortgage on top of that and you end up broke.

My rent and my car payment combined ($820 for both combined) are almost less than the average American pays for just their car payment.

People do it to themselves.

Naw, ima push back here. People’s income has not grown with the cost of EVERYTHING else.

People shouldn’t be demonized for wanting to live a generally comfortable life with their family. The type of life previous generations could afford easily.

I have no problem with nintendo charging 80 dollars for games. Its been non-stop comedy for the past two weeks

I'm clowning the nikkas that were making a big deal over 70 dollar “movie games” and now gotta juelz their way out of explaining this shyt nintendo doing, charging for instruction manuals, a c button and upgrades for 5 year old games.

like i said, everyones gonna get on here and talk big shyt and go buy the shyt anyway.

Switch 2 isn't worth the price of admission that's the reality.

Current Switch being severely overpriced right now is a problem that has bled over into the price of the Switch 2.

I get inflation and everything surrounds it, but with electronics the price is the price value doesn't increase because the price does.

Two things can be true at once. Most Americans let their fixed expenses take up too much of their pay, and commit errors that compound the problem (car loans, student loans, CC debt)...but some of those fixed costs (rent/mortgage in particular) have just grown unsustainably high.

Current Switch should be 199. Oled maybe 249 tops.
