Nope I don't think you really get more on the Nintendo Online or expansion compared to neither Plus or Gold.

Don, Nintendo Online is just the ability to play online. It's 20USD per month.

Nintendo Online Expansion is perks that don't add much value. My point is that 20USD to play online is not greedy. The point is that the quality of the service is the problem. Speed, communication, responsiveness, everything you would expect from online in 2021

Actually charging for the online play is greedy, from all 3, sure Nintendo is the one less greedy in this field but well when the quality offered is so inferior it would be hard to justify the price.

PC still have online for free. And we do know that the cost for the online of the 3 isn't that expressive (even more when they already profit from the game sold) even more when they don't host most of the titles/play, they basically only manage matchmaking.

PS3 had free online, Wii and/or WiiU had free online, (did og Xbox had free online?). They started charging purely based on greed and we know it. And the reason for that was basically X360 was able to charge without backlash, so when Sony put PS+ only for the games and had 2M subs but when changing to block MP (except for f2p and others that had their own sub) they rose to like 40M subs and almost everyone accepted (which makes clear that the free games are only there to have less complains, and MS had to add them to avoid negative comparisons). Then Nintendo followed suit but charging less and well giving titles that aren't worth much. Charged online is pure greed.
