That's what I was referring to. And I would never sign this "petition." I don't agree with everything in it, other than the fact that he said that it's your opinion. Which there is nothing wrong with, I don't think. |
Okay, but you said that's what he was saying from the start, when at the start he said rather that I was imposing my tastes on others. Just to make sure we're on the same page what you bolded and what he said at the begining are not the same thing.
Other than that I agree with you.

Considering that some companies invest 30 times more money/resources into developing games then Nintendo does for many of those titles you listed (which do debut at $49.99), then yes, it is a massively bad deal. I.e. each of those games only costs Nintendo $1 million to make. Let's say a developer makes $70 K at Nintendo - $1 million is 14 personnel working for 1 year - which is exactly the size of the teams that makes those games. As opposed to the $30 million games which take 3 years to make, and have 140 staff working on them. |
And that's what I mean by the games being overpriced. Sure the games are selling, but the competition is only getting stronger and the alternative markets are only gaining more ground. Just the PS3 and 360 platforms are getting closer and closer to Wii's final sales, and Steam is only gaining more traction. The mobile market has already exploded and people have had a taste for the casual games on there they can get for a really low price. That's the premice of OP tbh.
