Oh, I didn't mean you specifically, GG, were trying to justify the prices. I was referring to that article you posted and IGN's attempts to do so.

Got it.

I don't really get the inflation perspective. Because for me its about how expensive things "felt" at the time.

During N64 my parents would pay for games, every birthday and Christmas.

Thinking back it was £50 or £60 each back then. Prices actually came down massively in later generations. So now £60 even feels a bit insane.

Simple explanation of why the inflation argument (at least as it is presented) doesn't make any sense!

Nintendo switch 2 edition physical games are now complicated.

They might just be red coloured Switch 1 carts with a download code for the upgrade. At least that's what a customer service agent at Nintendo UK said.

So if you resold the game, could the new owner use the upgrade code? Or is the upgrade code embedded on the game carts?

And what happens 20 years from now if the servers are down and you want to redownload the upgrade?
