Next meme make it $100 and keep increasing the price
🏴☠️ rise up
Ok, well, I suspect most people aren’t going to be willing to pay that, or at the very least will buy significantly less games over all.
I suppose from a business sense the question is; will a reduced number of games sold at a higher margin be more profitable over all than more games sold at a lower margin?
They’ll probably just loose disproportionate market share to games vendors and platforms that aren’t selling at such a high price point, even if most of the major consoles fallow suite, i think that will just hurt the market share of consoles as a whole, phones have gotten shockingly good and might devour the low end of the market more than they already have if there are some shake ups in how app stores work, and there are a lot of plenty capable mid range gaming PC handheld that are competitive with consoles.
I didn’t notice the price because I already wasn’t a customer due to their other numerous shitty business practices.
Wouldnt a delayed game mean it costed more than expected and need to have a higher price to make up for the money invested?
$90 before the Moron’s tariffs.
How was the embedded nickname “the Iron Kidney” established?
His kidneys is very hardd
Looks like someone doesn’t understand how profit margins work. If I’m going to make the same $90 anyway and have to decide between spending more money on the product by delaying release or less money by rushing…all things being equal, that sounds like an easy choice. So a purely financial argument is obviously going to fall flat.
The sticking point is that money is not the only value in this world. All of our decisions need not be driven by profit maximizing strategies. So maybe instead of producing shoddy games at peak profit it would be better to produce excellent games at a good profit.
keep on cleaning shiggy’s soles with your tongue
Keep on working on that reading comprehension and learn to deal with nuance. I didn’t say I agree with selling unfinished games at a high price.
“I didn’t say I agree with it, I just showed how I subscribe to the very frameworks and ideas that created this problem in the first place. I don’t agree with it and it’s wrong; but they’re right.”
No. My point was that an economic argument, as posited in the meme that started this thread, misses the core issue. From an economic perspective, Nintendo is doing the right thing, as evidenced by the fact that they have been doing this forever and still haven’t gone broke. So that approach is simply inutil when critiquing corporate greed.
Side note: Nintendo is not the only games company guilty of that, only that others, without exclusive hardware as a platform, have been suffering the consumers’ wrath (e.g. EA or Ubisoft).
