The list of reasons why I refuse to buy Nintendo products is getting pretty hefty at this point.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What else?

[–] Assman@sh.itjust.works 61 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well there's the fact that they're selling switch release titles for full price 7 years later

[+] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca -6 points 8 months ago (3 children)

If they can they will, it's how supply and demand works. It wouldn't work if people stopped paying so much for old games.

[–] Assman@sh.itjust.works 32 points 8 months ago

Yeah I mean that's literally what the original guy said. This is a reason not to buy their products.

Is it still supply and demand when the supply is infinite?

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca -5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yes, if there's no demand there would be no point in making the supply (the game)

[–] rbits@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

We're talking about the prices of games that have already been made though. The supply of those specific games is infinite. We're talking about the prices of certain games (old ones), not all games that are being released now.

I do agree that it makes sense to Nintendo to sell the old games at a high price, but I think supply and demand is probably the wrong phrase.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca -4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm talking about supply AND demand. If there is infinite supply and zero demand, there would be no point to rerelease these titles. Or they'd bring the price down. This is basic knowledge. If they can get that price for it, they will keep selling it for that price. It's not rocket science.

I'm not defending the price, I've bought plenty and felt dirty doing so lol.

Well shit, what do you call what you're doing? If all you wrote's not a defense of their prices, what is it?

[–] Kedly@lemm.ee 6 points 8 months ago

Exactly, and OP is saying they've decided to not contribute towards demand anymore

Tbh in a third world country, Nintendo is a very big luxury. I never imagined buying one at any point in my life. I will buy a steamdeck as soon as it launches in my country.
