Initially, when you learn about the potential prices for the Nintendo Switch 2 games, you might think, “Eighty dollars? That’s just an upgrade to digital format!” However, that’s precisely the argument—many gamers on social media aren’t convinced. One user sarcastically commented, “Nintendo is trying to hasten the next rise in standard game prices,” expressing strong disapproval of the idea that seventy dollars was the maximum for the industry. “I thought seventy dollars would be the limit for a much longer period,” another user added. With the cost of games gradually increasing, it seems as if the gaming industry has started a hunt on gamers’ wallets. Although the government may not announce a recession, our gaming expenses certainly feel like one!
