They’ve ALWAYS sucked but had a very friendly face. Remember how they tried to ban renting in North America? They failed to do so for games, but they got their filthy clutches on the manuals so game shops weren’t allowed to rent those out. They didn’t need to do that but they did just to make the experience a little bit worse for us consumers.
Having said that… The US kinda fucked up themselves, so I’m not sure why Nintendo is being singled out.
because folks are bitter about they still charge $60 for a 10 year old game.
I’m not. I bought a switch 2 last month and Zelda BoTW for $70. It’s great. But what do I know, I’m a morally bankrupt bootlicker or something, because I was happy to spend my money on something that I am enjoying.

OK now divide the cost of the console over how many games you’ve bought

what? I literally just bought it 3 weeks ago. That number is going to be high because I only have 4 games.
I will buy more games as time goes by and that cost will go down. That’s how math works.
I also bought a PS5 four years ago, and only had a few games for it for the first few months… that’s how buying consoles/games works. Now I probably have like 50+ games for it, but it’s been years.
