How much manpower/resources did games like MK8D or NSMBUD take away? Like I said, both of the teams also released brand new games a few months later so best case scenario we are looking at ARMS & Mario Maker releasing slightly sooner if those ports weren't released.
What is better, Mario Kart Deluxe in April followed by ARMS in June or just ARMS in April? How about Super Mario Deluxe in January followed by Mario Maker 2 in June or just Mario Maker 2 in March?
You also said people are too dumb to know they are getting ripped off but I'll give you my reason for rebuying those 2 games. I bought a Wii U in Spring of 2014, NSMB was bundled and I also picked up MK8 along with it.
4 years later i no longer own a Wii U but my 2 oldest kids are now 4 & 6 and are really getting interested in gaming and always want to play with me so I picked up MK8D & NSMB because those 2 games are a perfect introduction to gaming for young kids and we can all 3 play together at the same time.
Would you say that I was ripped off by having to pay full price to for 2 games that have given me dozens of hours of fun with my kids and let us bond over a common interest?
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
