That printer's gonna break if they keep squeezing it like this, though.

Nintendos' recent moves make Microsoft and Sony seem like angels of the gaming world.

Yes this is pretty wack

Baffled?

10 bucks sound fine

mrguinnigear.bsky.social•12 hours ago

While it should be free, $10 is better than $20. It definitely shouldn't go to that price lol.

If Astro Bot could be a free game with the ps5 without pushing up costs, there's no reason this couldn't have been packed in for free. It's nowhere near as fully featured or elaborate as that. This is just greed, same with the $80 games. They know people will defend it and pay for it.

I'm actually glad they don't just make everyone pay by including it, those that really want it can pay for it without pushing the cost on everyone, if we want fair pay for people that work on software it has to come from somewhere

How about 8 years of the most successful console the company's ever made?

I think with they are going to do a price increase and include this as a pack in now

It’s called “greed” and it has driven much of Nintendo’s decision-making process, hope this helps

Does that include when the CEOs cut their salaries when they weren't doing all that well?

Satoru Iwata is no longer alive and, thus, has no bearing on this current situation. Don't excuse the greed of companies.

It's such a wild decision when Astrobot comes free and installed on ps5. There's no justification for the Welcome Tour to be coating anything.
