    “it’s $20 for a skin… Eh I’ll buy it.” I have friends that do that. Meanwhile I almost never buy a game at launch because I’ll just wait for a sale and for the game to be fixed post launch.

      The trouble is, Nintendo games don’t even go on sale, so you can’t do that. Nintendo used to be the affordable accessible console. Now they’re the opposite.

      I haven’t had a desire to play their games luckily, but the emulators are good. I tried Pokémon Arceus with one and it ran flawlessly. The game was boring as hell from what I played, but I wanted to see how it functioned compared to the older games I know.

        Yeah. I was providing context and a small joke in relation to the comment about how we got here. I mostly play Steam games anyway.

        A few years ago my wife bought a switch, we occasionally play it, but yes I saw the games were basically never on sale.
