| Veknoid_Outcast said: This is a fun thought experiment, but I think the caveat that the game will drop in price after a year on the market sort of cuts it off at the knees. Modern video game enthusiasts are trained to be patient, and have so many alternatives at their disposal. A 12-month wait isn’t the end of the world. It’s almost a gift, considering the size of the average backlog :P |
I guess something I didn’t take into account is that 12 months to me might feel a bit longer for me than for others… I’ve come to learn most on this site are much older than I. So while 12 months would be a wait worth the $40USD extra to avoid for me with a 3D Zelda or Mario, for others, it’ll probably just pass like its nothing. Especially when they aren’t as new to the medium as I— I only started with video games in 2017 with BotW, lost interest around 2020, and came back for TotK in 2023.
