Especially tears of the kingdom.
If you want tears of the kingdom it is cheaper to buy the “old version” second hand OR new and get the $10 upgrade. Please don’t be buying this
So what you’re saying is that people should buy games used instead of new. Got it.
Yes, but people aren’t and are going to ruin the market
New Switch 1 version is $70, unless on sale, so with $10 upgrade it becomes $80.
Buying on sale is a good option though.
I’m torn here… PS5/XBox games brand new can easily go this high or much higher (definitely seen a bunch over $100, especially for special editions and such.) and I recommend absolutely no one does that either…
However, if no one bought them new for whatever the cost, I’d not be able to get used copies secondhand.
Sales are obviously the way to go, but used games basically account for the majority of my physical copies, especially for Nintendo stuff. I just happen to like physically owning things.
I’ve never seen a base game over $70 on PC. Xbox or PS5
Xbox has announced that some of it’s games will be $80 now. The Outer Worlds 2 is the first one but more will continue.
Sony and other third party publishers haven’t announced any price increase yet though, it is expected by many people that most of them will make the jump within an year or so, but since they haven’t done it yet, we can’t count them.
Love Nintendo IP’s but I ain’t buying $80 games while having a Steam Deck
