I chuckled 😁. But, I've got an actual tl;dr below:
Condensed and canned version - Despite concerns about the Nintendo Switch 2's price, it's not a major issue when accounting for inflation and historical context. BotW + NS = €400 while NS2+MKW = €560, in line with inflation. Switch 2 is more relatively powerful than its predecessor. Games were similarly expensive in the past (While he used Austria as an example, this is true for most countries). Complaints about price are typically from those who aren't early adopters anyway, or those swayed by hype (I'd have used the word stupidity, but I'm an asshole).
Or powdered version - I find concerns about price to be hollow in light of inflation and the vastly superior hardware in question. Also, that I find they're motivated by cynicism and false romanticism rather than a realistic outlook.
Cheers 🥃
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
