EDIT
How it feels seeing Switch 2 discourse in the comments section of a meme mocking all sides of Switch 2 discourse:
I am so glad I abandoned video games in 2015. I feel for the rest of you, though.

MODERATORS
Every switch owner I know has a terrible opinion of the switch 2s price and the new 90$ price tag they started for games.
Meanwhile more and more people around me are buying a steam deck, I have converted 4 people last year alone. Even my nephew has one and is happy with it.

What's going on?
Someone did something and, predictably, someone else bitched about it because reasons. Or something. Probably?
Unless something new has happened, it's because the switch 2 is expensive and the games are overpriced
Something about Nintendo putting bricking your console into the license agreement if you screw with it at all.
Wuuuh? Guess they didn't like people hacking the first one ..
I'd debate the overpriced bit. Expensive yes. People will happily pay it though since Nintendo consistently puts out some of the best in gaming.

I've no idea what the discourse is like today but from what I recall:
- Nintendo: if you really like the Marios, Zeldas, sidescrollers and platformers.
- Sony: if you like highly cinematic games, action adventure games with good graphics and JRPGs.
- Microsoft (consoles after Halo 3): if you need the yearly releases of WWE and sports games and you want to support American businesses. Also, at some point, there was Lost Odyssey.
Have things changed?
consoles after Halo 3
That’s very new then
Halo 3 came out nearly 2 decades ago...
I still often play it on my modern console (Xbox 360) :3

i'm not up to date on general console discourse. but i know for a fact Nintendo, though never famous for being cheap, has been going mental lately. $80 for Mario Kart is mind boggling
I get the sticker shock, but when in think about $ per fun-time, it's easy for me to rationalize... If you're looking for a coping mechanism that is.

I assumed the meme is related to high prices decades ago: for example, I remember saving up allowances to buy Star Fox 64, which cost about 70 bucks in the late nineties.
