But that's on Nintendo. For those people the game doesn't cost $70, it costs $200+ even if they buy a used Switch lite. Nintendo is deliberately leveraging their games to make people buy their console when those people just want to buy the game.

They want to have their cake and eat it too, and that is most likely one of the biggest reasons people pirated TOTK.

That’s the whole point of exclusive titles and every console vendor does it.

Everybody doing it doesn't change the fact that it's a bad thing for customers and a reason for piracy.

All of Microsoft's games are also on PC and even Sony has been putting many of their games there a year later. Nintendo's the only one left that locks all of them to their console forever.
