    1. Nintendo doesn’t sell at a loss.

    2. This argument only takes inflation into account and the cost of making the games, while ignoring that games sell many more copies than in the past. Gaming is much more popular than in the N64 era.

    Say you need to make $100 to break even. If you can assume a third of console owners will buy. Say 300 people own the console, you can sell for $1 and make the hundred.

    Now say games are more expensive to make, you need $300 to break even. But now there’s 1000 people that own the console. With the same third buying your game at $1 you’re now making $333.

    1. Most games already cost more than $70 if you want the complete game. Ubisoft is typically $140 I think for the base game and expansions plus tons of micro transactions. Increasing the base price to $90 would be more accepted if we weren’t already being fucked over with the current pricing model which is just going to get worse.

    Edit: why is my 3 showing as a 1? Is this a sync formatting issue or something with lists in lemmy?







  • We have lg washer and dryer and I just set up thinQ on my wifes new phone. It asked for location and when denied it said automations might not work. Asked my wife, she said what’s that? So location disabled app works fine. My main issue is not being able to just set a custom wash or dry from the machine. Why do I have to download a program if all I want is to lower the dryer temp without choosing delicate, which also shortens the time. Just have a full custom cycle and let me customize it.
