Labo is a huge ripoff and a waste of a great concept (so far)

Why are you making foolish arguments when you can't even accept what the reviewers say about those LABO-games? You should instead tell why those games are better than what the reviewers and I think. It seems you can't do that. It doesn't make my, and the reviewers, arguments baseless just because I am not a fan of "gimmick/non-gaming" -focus. And I think that several Nintendo games are worth more than majority of other games.

And then there is the 80 dollar price tag. The games didn't cost a lot to develop and the cardboard is cheap, so there is a huge amount of extra in the price. Would you defend this product if it was published by Activision/EA (or any other company)? I don't think so. So can you make better arguments than calling someone biased?  

Well first, you ARE biased so not sure why that has to be swept under the rug when it comes to your critique of the product. 2nd, how do you know how much the games actually cost to develop? You do realize the cardboard is built to interact with the software and the joycons. I'm pretty sure that took time to develop (time=money), they didnt just pull it out of their arse. 

 

Until you can provide actual factual proof that Nintendo is inflating the cost of LABO by the exorbitant amount you're suggesting, your whole point is pretty much moot. "Oh I was in the same room as someone playing it" is not satisfactory enough, and nothing more than pure anecdotal madness.

Well I base my claim about the cheap development costs on what I can see/what others have said about it. For example, creating that one environment for that fishing-game was most likely really cheap. And why would it cost much to make the cardbord to interact with the software? It's pretty basic stuff and shouldn't require many coders to do it. So why I must have the "burden of proof"? That's as logical as if I would insist you to prove that Knack was cheaper to develop than God of War (2018).

And could you answer the questions I made, so you wouldn't seem so "biased" yourself: Tell why those games are better than what the reviewers and I think? Would you defend this product if it was published by Activision/EA (or any other company)?
