Activist Group Calls For Major Switch 2 Boycott

Please feel free to tell me any current videogame company that is not making money, or gives their products away for free..lol.
Charging $100 for their games is fucking crazy. Especially since their studios are known to be smaller and their games are way smaller in scope. You getting kick-backs for shilling?
 
This is more about this "activist group" trying to find a reason to exist


Sure. What I say is that this whole argument is very easy to shoot down.

Prices is something that can only be protested against by not buying. The PS5 Pro had a similar backlash from youtubers and then they all bought it. Peak hipocrisy on their part and idiocy on their followers.

So I guess you have not found any videogame company giving things away for free then...
 
Lol I don't get why some here are so angry.

The best these people can do is to lower the prices, which would be a benefit to all of us.

And the worst (and most likely scenario) is that it leads to nothing.

Some act like these people are going to kill their mothers. Wtf is going on in here?

It definitely will not. If anything they'll raise Switch 2 prices on hardware if they feel that $80 is the absolute cap for most gamers' threshold of tolerance for game prices. They never once lowered the price of any Switch console, ever, not even the Lite. And the generation lasted over 8 years. Not only that, they *raised* price on all Switch 1 models after Switch 2 launched, to little-to-no fanfare. If the loud voices after the price announcement of Switch 2 games and the console on April 2nd didn't get them to lower the price, nothing will. That moment was our opportunity to get them to listen and respond to the feedback. It was nowhere near loud enough.

Sales would have to languish for a prolonged period and the trajectory of the system's install base growth would have to severely flatten, before they would consider price drops. That is the only thing that would work at this point. Unfortunately for anyone wanting to save money and holding out for Nintendo to drop prices, Switch 2 is actually selling really well. So that's not likely anytime soon. People may have whined at first, but we're buying it in droves.

I talk to guys at work and they pay $500 for one new golf club out of the fourteen they need, and $100+ for a teetime that gives four hours of entertainment. Many of them will go out less than ten times in a whole year, I live in a place with very inclement winters. Gaming as a primary hobby is still a bargain compared to most things, even with prices going up a bit.
