So we just accepted that voting with your wallet doesnt actually work and that we're going to be ok with games being an unaffordable hobby again.
If you have time to not only play video games, but also complain about the price of them, you should be spending that time working instead of playing and complaining.Simple
>>720664413Why is Furukawa posting on /v/?
>20 bucks plus tax plus tip bro
>>720664009You vill buy SilksongYou vill boughten Hades IIYou vill not pay for 80 dollars toddlerslop and be happy.
>>720664009PC - pirates everythingPlaystation - people only buy COD/GTA/FIFAXbox - GamepassNintendo - Actual games people wanna play and buy
>>720664413>just get in the cage wagie
>>720665291GTA is gonna cost at least 90 maybe if youre lucky its split into single player and multiplayer as different purchases. But paying for a PS5 Pro just for 1 game is totally the reality now.
>>720665291So why are third party sales so abysmal on the Toddler Console 2?
>>720664009>voting with your wallet doesnt actually workyou're a retard
>WAAHHH WAAAHH WAAAHHHDon't care poorfag. Gaming isn't a necessity. Just pirate all of your games like you already most certainly do, swarthoid.
>>720665482I think it's 70-80. They still got shark cards. If it's too expensive it'll just drive people away and people will pirate it instead
>>720665738It literally did not work when it comes to nintendo.
>>720665754Pirate your food next bro
Nintendo seems pretty locked in with their pricing and key card shit, but retailers won't want it hogging the shelves for too long so discounts are inevitable.
>$80 for two upscaled Wii games>$100 for a plastic shell to play shitty virtual boy games>$20 DLC for Donkey Kong when Silksong just released for the same price and is a fuller game>selling Zelda for $80+>tariffs will make the Switch 2 go up to $500 soon>game key cardsI have been with Nintendo for a long time and I cannot understand what makes them appealing right now, they are fucking horrible and too expensive. Nintendo used to be about affordability and accessibility for families and people of all ages, now it's just a higher luxury for a certain tax bracket. Nintendo is one of the richest companies in Japan, there is no fucking reason for them to be doing any of this shit.
>>720665853businesses cannot exist without sales. And Mario Kart is one of the most profitable games for Nintendo - people obviously like kart racers. Making Air Riders makes perfect sense
>>720665853>cart manufacturer for Nintendo are going to provide more storage optionsseems like it does work, you just need to keep up the fight
>>720666108The DK DLC is 100% just cut content from the base game considering they do mention DK Island in it. The fact they didnt even add new collectibles to it and the fact the game runs worse in emerald hunt mode is insane for 20 bucks.
>>720666108Their strategy is to rely mostly on hardcore fans as they don't have a strategy to broaden their fanbase.https://youtu.be/XQmKabdArUg
>>720666108Nintendo clearly wants their actual video games to be a premium product for the enthusiasts, the poors are supposed to see the movies and buy the toys rather than buying the games.
>>720665853It did they saw the majority of people voted with their wallet for more of it.
>>720666280Going to the movies is an overpriced luxury especially if its a family. I really wish covid killed of theaters for good.
>>720664009>NEETS getting priced out of gamingI have no problem with this.
>>720664009Voting with your wallet never works with popular companies anon. If it did Disney & sony would be long gone
>>720664009Why doesn't he have knuckles?
>>720666265
>>720666712He has a fat fetish and is trying to become bulbous just like Kirby.
Unironically, yes. The most "voting with your wallet" does is give you the right to truthfully say "don't blame ME for how shit this game is, I didn't buy it."
>>720666685Disney and Sony have more going on besides just games and movies.
>>720664009It does work. I voted with my wallet by buying the games.
>>720666685Sony sells TVs and other hardware not just their movie division. Its literally impossible that theyd ever do anything other than shut down the gaming side for not keeping up with the other ones. Which i dont think theyd do when PS5 makes money with no games.
>>720666871Yet everyone hates them. So it doesnt change my point anon.
>>720666929See >>720666935 people have been shitting on Sony products across the board for the last 10 years. You can make the argument thats subsidized or whatever but the vocal majority of people hate Sony and Disney yet they stay afloat because people hate purchase their products the same as retards on this board hate advertise for nintendo for free because lel shitposting so funny
>>720667256There is no statistical way sony or disney can go under they would just shut down divisions not making money for them like disney did for its in-house game devs.
>>720667256people dont "hate purchase" products. you can only think thats real if you never go outside or interact with the real world. What actually is happening is there are no competitors because consoles are a dead business segment. At a time, developing for something specifically made for video games made sense; now, consoles are glorified PCs, code is much more easily transferable between PC and console. For a software dev, this is great, for a console manufacturer, this means the industry is dead time to pack up and go home. When any company, especially public, goes this route, they try to squeeze all the money they can out of the assets they are retiring (i.e. why games are increasingly overpriced); this is why Xbox is trying to exit games, Sony is constantly complaining about money despite selling consoles, and Nintendo is trying to make movies.
>>720664009voting with your wallet works great
>>720666381Nintendo expects their youngest fans to wait for it to come to streaming.
>>720669003As long as you're voting "yes". It literally never works when it's supposed to mean "no", because there's always just enough mindless drones who're gonna eat up even shit served on a plate.
>>720666015Where's the Virginia ham Buckley?
>>720664009No shit it doesn't work. "Voting with your wallet" and it's derivatives have always been a corpo psyop designed to trick retards into doing nothing instead actively pushing for change.
>>720664009>>720664413Not if the basedlets are allowed to voice their corporate approved opinions
>Doug Bowser literally lying to people with PR fluff about variable pricing being realWanna know when nintendo has variable pricing? When theyre in last place. Which they never will be again because of the war chest theyve gained from switch.
>>720664009
I like when antdude made a video defending game key cards and his fanbase told him to shut the fuck up.
>>720667256Have you ever hate purchased a Sony tv, phone, or headphones?
>>720664009Gaming is so ridiculously cheap that of course we're going to accept it. For every person "voting with their wallet" you have people like me that give 0 fucks and buy whatever they want whenever they want and don't care. Nigga I'm not broke and if I'm interested in something I fucking buy it. The only regretful purchase I have ever had was Starfield.
Buy games you can afford.Picked up Final Fantasy X-2 and SSX from the Retro store total $15 like get good gayboy you don't need the new hotness.
>>720664009It's not soibois that are the problem, the problem is no one else is catering to Japs as hard as Nintendo. Sony's deliberately avoiding it, and MS should know better after trying and failing to get Japs to buy the Hueg and 360.
>>720672018All the switch 2 update packs shoulda been free updates whether you can afford the 20 bucks or not for each.
>>720664009VISA's intervention actually showed that it does work and it scared them to the point of going full mask off.
They need the money to feed their patent lawyers, you heartless bastards
Nintendo raising their prices to 80 dollars and Silksong being a huge success at just 20 dollars is just undeniable proof that the old gaming industry is dying. Bloat and greed is destroying it from within and its currently struggling to compete with indies and AA games with way better profit margins
>>720666892Holy based
>>720664009It works and Nintendo isn't immune to it - see WiiU. Just not this time (yet). If you can't wait there are so many alternatives, indies, emulation, etc.
>>720665853>Lose election>Wtf voting doesn't work??
>>720673046Voting works when its not for a woman that i know jack shit about. I didnt vote at all in fact.
>>720665546Because they are ports of already released games? Publishers are only porting them to scratch some extra money on a new market.
>>720664009It's a game that probably has this song:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bEZQ00OOxYWhat else do you expect?
>>720673594Why did sakurai do this?
>>720674185Things were different back then.
>>720666729ironic that Nintendo is now trying to kill itself, following PS5s business plan
>>720664009>being an unaffordable hobby again.>laughs in PC piracySure, Toddler. Sure.
>>720665546Because the Shitcher 2: Assassin's of Tendies runs them like abyssmal DOGSHIT.
>>720664413so after I get home from my shift I should just go back to work or get a second job since I've got a few hours to unwind before bed?
>>720664009Poor people shouldn't have leisure time, get to work on yourself you lazy piece of shit.
>unaffordable hobbyLmfao, gaming is so fucking cheap it's insane. Like have you guys never done or experienced anything else in life?
>>720675107Other hobbies dont diminish in value like games do except nintendo games specifically almost never go below 40 bucks when the company is succeeding. They got rid of gold points and vouchers for a reason.
>>720672018It's not whether I can afford it or not, it's whether or not I consider that a good price.I can afford $20 water, but should I buy $20 water?
>>720673510Jesus christ
>>720666278You did unlock the secret Pauline costumes right?
>>720675326Nigga what? A round of golf can be $100 with nothing but a score at the end. It costs me $1500+ a year to play hockey nevermijd the gear breaking down and falling apart. Sticks are hundreds of dollars, skates are nearing $1k. Art supplies deplete as you use them. Cars/motorcycles have upkeep costs of thousands. Etc. Etc. Pretty much every hobby is more expensive then gaming lmfao.
>>720666729I miss 3rd Place Nintendo
>>720675528Not comparable.
>>720675528Lets go ask /mu/ what they think
>>720676024You missed the point entirely.
>>720676194No I didn't. You bitched about diminishing value.
>vote with your wallet>people vote opposite of you>voting doesn’t workSounds like the US government.
>>720676327>the poor minority doesn't get their handoutsCry about it more
>>720664009>>720665853>voting with your wallet doesnt actually worksince when should consumers ever have a say in what they're provided?
>products that cost tens of millions of dollars to make should be free>wait, what do you mean everyone thinks I'm retarded and ignores me? that's anti-consumer!
So which nintendo youtuber will be the first one brave enough to call them out on this direct, Nerrel?
>>720665291Kek
>>720666108When I see a quality game like Kirby Air Riders, it's almost worth suffering through all of their jewery.
>>720676431Mario Odyssey costed millions to make, made profit at 60 dollars, had mushroom kingdom in the base game and got a free update.But /v/ is pro corpo now i guess.
>>72067351020yo there
Hate to break to you brownskins, but gaming is already the poorfag hobby. Golf costs me way more and I play it far less than vidya.
>>720664009I can afford it just fine so no skin off my back. Sucks if you're poor I guess.
>>720676573You have to unplug yourself from the discord tranny matrix, series like Pokemon and Mario are hugely popular no matter how many people on reddit/twitter/discord whine about them being too expensive
>>720664413I want /biz/ to go back to their own board.
>>720676694That argument is retarded, every game cost millions to make. Games make absurd amounts of money, they are expensive because people just pay. Have you ever though about how much a dlc should cost compared to the base game?
>>720664009>"Voting with your wallet doesn't work.">people buy the games they want and get the games they want as a result>"NOOOOOOOO THAT DOESN'T COUNT!!!!"
>>720676894DLC value should be decided by the consumer and not because nintendo knows they can get away with charging you 20 dollars for 1 hour of mario party content.
>>720676110They are 3rd place thats why this is so funny
>>720665136Unironically would have sold well if it was based on mario somehow. But because its not it deservedly got laughed at which is rare to see now.
The reason it doesn't work is because you faggots have no willpower and must consume all the Nintendo pigslop they shit out.Kirby Air Riders looks like dog shit but that's not going to stop the legion of braindead Nintendo fans from glazing it top to bottom.
>>720676961>what do you mean I'm the minority? how can that be when all my discord friends agreed with me and upvoted my posts?
>>720677014>DLC value should be decided by the consumer Exactly, and so should the game. Turns out, that's what's happening. People are going to pay whatever Nintendo wants because it's not about games, it's about competing for being part of the conversation.
>>720676894Mario Kart World should get free DLC but its most certainly going to be paid and you will defend that cause you work for nintendo.
>>720666935>everyone hates SonySony has gotten away with so much crazy shit over the years and the only reason why they manage to escape some is because Xbox did it first so they could reverse course before it was too late. Numerous anti-consumer choices and really lackluster games that flop, get cancelled, Microsoft helps fund a genocide in Gaza, the internet is more upset about $50 MKW when Sony charged $70 for their shit racing game. If Sony actually received criticsm then the console industry would be in a far better place right now
>>720677385Read nigga
>>720676694>costed
The flawed premise with hating Nintendo is they're the only fucking company interested in making video games.
>How can i make this about microsoft and sonyThis place is pathetic
>>720677721>it's okay when sony and microsoft do it
>>720677457>A PS3 portNot the gotcha you think it is tendiecuck
>>720677652i don't buy video games made by 'companies' anymore though. i buy video games made by people.
>>720677457>the internet is more upset about $50 MKWMario Kart World is 80$ tho
>>720678019Even geoff the fanboy and media were spreading the $90-100 myth online. To see actual media sit there and say "nobody's excited for Switch 2." Never in a million years would those sony fanboys say that about Playstation. They'd look at Destruction All-Stars and shit like Knack and say it's the most exciting launch since N64
>>720664009>againIt never was
>>720664009Just KeepNotBuyingIt works>but muhCongratulations you can save up and invest elsewhere Like i understand that you have buyers remorse for this skill treeSo stop investing points and time into it
>>720664009>So we just accepted that voting with your wallet doesnt actually workNo one accepted it - what happened is that businesses created an environment where there is no counterplay to the vote. You lose even if you refuse to play their game because they have taken the possibility of poor sales or boycotts and made it a fundamental part of their business model. There is no "negative" or "counter" action - either things remain effectively neutral (no sale/pirate) or positive (sale).
>>720677840>Okay, how can i make this about microsoft and sony>Oh, i know!>I'll post "it's okay when sony and microsoft do it", that'll show him!
>It's another "OP is seething that the Virtual Boy has more games than the PS5" episode
>>720678625Sony has literal jack shit fot the future apart from Ghost of Yotei and Marvel Tokon
>>720673510What the fuck
>>720678958>Sony has literal jack shit despite sharing 80% of 3rd party titles between XBX and SW2
>>720664009Good, I’m tired of sharing this hobby with poor ass, welfare checking, disability having, melanin filled dirty ass brokiesNah but fr I don’t want to see those fat ass obese smelly fucking retards near the videogame section at FNAC again
Voting doesnt work in general. Democracy is just jewish oligarchy.
>>720679335You can play those games on PC ;)
>>720679580Right, so why were we talking about sony/nintendo/microsoft again?
>>720679745Sony has jack shit on PS5 first party wise and most of those can be played on PC
>>720677935Videogames made by people end up being pretty bad though given The Last of Us 2 and Concord.
>>720665291>denuvo with each release>rarely the complete saga of games, available on pc>ufc, and many games will never officially be on pcwhat's the point of buying on pc?
>>720664009I mean Sony and Microsoft raised prices first and no one batted an eye. They just paved the way for Nintendo.
>>720680289Older and/or mouse games.It's impossible to do something like cloudbuilt on consoles for example.They can run the game, with ease, but actually going that fast on joystick is just impossible.
>>720664009Why do video games attract people like in OP pic?
>>720673510That poor woman. Being a slave for so long has made her truly believe that is how people should live. Sad.
>>720680790Because you need an identity on youtube to stand out and for some people its kirby.Unless youre johnny then your identity is that you drink coffee.
>>720664009unsurprisingly, voting with your wallet only works for people actually buying things. not buying something isnt a negative vote, you will always lose
When one of the big 3 companies figures out that they get 100% of the revenue digitally for their 1st party games and could easily have the launch price be discounted digitally to incentivize people to choose it over physical its gonna be even worse than it is now.
>>720673510she's right, as evidenced by all the fat broke losers ITT
>>720683573I'm sure I could work for 37-38 hours if my job was drinking with salarymen too
>>720683059 That's exactly what they want, anon. Kill off retail so there's no resale, no lending, no price matching, no ownership. Soon you'll be leasing your games like you lease your car, and Jim Sony will come break your controller if you miss a payment. Digital discounts are the bait, and we're all the fish about to get fileted.
>>720664009Well yeah it's why we got many more final fantasy movies after the spirits within. It's why we still get bubsy games. It's why sega kept making piece of shit flops that made them exist the console market
>>720683573The most successful neets in japan are vtubers ordering ubereats and not leaving their house.
>>720664009>games being an unaffordable hobby again.When was the first time?
>>720685202The past is the only time games were expensive, they've been cheap for 30 years now almost.
>>720685202Before sony made 50 dollar games the standard for the next 2 console gens.
>>720664413>boomer replies with a homo-lust-provoking imageof course.
