Just because they should have known what would happen doesn't mean it's any less shitty of Nintendo though. Especially when they're throwing claims on to videos that don't have anything to do with modding.

You should be fucking ashamed for lacking even basic empathy.

I think that’s a copout excuse that gives people a convenient boogeyman to blame in situations like this.  The world for centuries has catered to straight males, a large percentage of it catered to straight white males.  The video game industry has been no different.  Any change to that status quo is regarded as an…

Exactly my thought.  Your budget video card should not cost more then a modern console. 

XBox and Playstation approve of this price point for a “budget” graphics card.

You just KNEW the second you posted a comment about game prices personally getting too high for you, some game publisher apologist/shill would come in with the “well, actually when calculating for inflation...” bullshit. Surprised they didn’t do the other go-to of attaching an image of a mid 1990's Toys R’ Us flyer…

I say this in the most polite way possible, this is still the absolute worst corporate apologist nonsense argument in favour of the price increase. The reason gaming is as mamothly popular as it is today is due to how accessible the price point had become. That $60 price freeze meant that every year gaming became more…

and the Dead Space remake is 20 percent off ($56)

yes, but as a pachinko game... sigh

I’m stilllllllllll in a dreaaaaaaaammmmm...

Weird when people at Konami kill their boss it usually takes place in a field of flowers with lots of close-quarters combat.

Other things to account for:

While definitely true, it doesn’t account for the massive increase of the size of the game market

You know what else hasn’t gone up since the mid 2000s? Wages. Stop counter-crying because people are upset that they can’t afford anything anymore, yet companies still demand more.

Not sure why your first two points have anything to do with... anything.

Agreed. I get irked and reactionary ver the fan boy stuff and blah blah Microsoft is evil. The real bad shit is people losing jobs, quality for the consumer, etc. The fight that is getting the attention isn’t the one worth having. Rich companies arguing about how richer another company can be is window dressing. 

The temperature changing feature sounds like a risk to me, but otherwise, idk it sounds pretty cool to me. Kinda sad seeing gamers be so jaded and bitter.

Right! It seems that many are intoxicated by the appeal of the Xbox’s game pass and so just want Microsoft to swallow up more publishers and add their games to its library. What they are missing is that in the long run this will 100% result in reduced quality for games. We will have no AAA games just whole lotta of B g…

I am very confused at the lack of follow through on the push back to this. More people should be concerned. I would be having the same concerns if it were Sony or Nintendo trying to push this deal through or if they were trying to buy SquareEnix, Ubisoft, ect instead.
