Nintendo is right out to lunch on these price hikes. The Switch and its games were already stupid expensive, and then they jacked them up even more for Switch 2. I usually buy Nintendo consoles and games but I've been priced out of the new console. I'm not going to spend $110 + tax on one game when I could get like 5 decent games on my PC for that price, heck more even with sales.

I'm honestly surprised at the amount of people willing to pay these prices. I'm so sick of corporate greed.

Speaking of PC sales: steam summer sale is on right now. There's some decent deals. The Mass Effect series is all on sale for pretty steel discounts; the LE is like $6.

Yeah I've already bought 10 games and a DLC... And spent less than $100 doing so! :P
