Having to compare this to EA should tell you how bad the situation is. Funny that is exactly where my mind was during the direct: EA and PS3 era Capcom. I will add I never claimed that was the first time it ever happened, as some are thinking is the case, but that the joke price for GTA VI was actually beaten by Pokémon, just as it's in the title and OP. I wonder how can someone think the DLC should not count when it should clearly be part of the $60/70 game, they are not working on extra content for the game after it was released.

If you want, we can just start talking exclusively about Sony, Sega, Capcom, Microsoft, etc. I can’t even think of a gaming company that doesn’t pump out DLC for their games, unless we’re talking indie studios.

(also, I think you’re targeting your fire at likely the worst target in the industry: Nintendo is infamous for never releasing DLC for their games. Nothing for Mario Wonder, Pikmin 4, TotK, Echoes of Wisdom, etc. But if you really want to target Nintendo, then go wild. I’m fine with people holding businesses accountable for anti-consumer practices.)

The point of the thread is both that this is reached joke levels of ridiculous greedy and that threads are not made about it here, when others will get posted, even as the Nintendo presence in the forums is vastly superior and various non gaming related threads are made, but it's getting devoid of purposedly ignored themes that involved being harsh on it.

They actually come to defend it when it's the case.

It is not here to point to Nintendo as the worst or the only company pulling shit of its customers, tho.

I mean, Nintendo is the worst DLC offender IMO since they introduced physical, exclusive, overpriced and very limited DLC, in the form os Amiibos, yes, but that is not the point of this one thread.
