On the one hand, with rising inflation and skyrocketing development costs, I can totally understand why game prices are getting dangerously close to the triple digits. Games rn are cheaper that they ever were ~~yeet~~ yet development is not.

However, that’s still a lot of money and I really wouldn’t wanna pay that.

This is greed, pure and simple. At $60, the industry was more profitable than Hollywood, and they raised the base price of games to $70 just a few years ago before immediately talking about raising prices again.

Hell, at least I can use my steam deck as a mini PC and SSH into the thing, as well as use a mouse and full fuckin keyboard with my cheap off brand dock.

I'm always 2-3 years behind on new consoles for this very reason.

Even the 729$ Legion Go looks like a good deal compared to the Switch 2.

don't forget mods, easy repair, easy piracy, and actually being a functional portable computer in a pinch if you have a docking station
