That's the attitude that allows console manufacturers to get away with it. "They must be investing a lot because it costs a lot to the customer."

But the reality is that Nintendo will have higher profits if they decide to charge more eventually. It already was that way for Sony and Microsoft, so it makes no sense to assume that it will be the opposite for Nintendo.

Nobody is pointing a gun at you to spend the money on those subs, so is just your decision. If you don't like it, don't support it with your wallet, and before you say there's really no other option, there's always one. And people in the end, spend their money in these things. The same can be said about MTX's, a lot of people shit on these things but the reality is that most people are OK with it. In my case, i've never put any € in any MTX ever, so....you can perfectly ignore it if you want to.

And yes, like i said, Nintendo will do the same the moment they can.

Now when we criticize Nintendo for selling their HW for profit unlike PS4 and X1 during the first half of their life, then the answer would be "Nintendo knows how to manage their money better", same for games that cost 1/10 of the ones developed by Sony and MS but sell for the same price and more quantity.

This same type of defense was done against DLC and other stuff until of course Nintendo started doing it.
