Once upon a time, GTA VI rumored $100 price tag was used as a joke to mock how gaming prices were getting out of control, and how Rockstar could go as far as charging $100 for GTA VI.

Just 3 months ago, games prices went from peaking at $70 to $80, and now we actually have a new game hitting the $100 mark.

Announced before the game is released, and with some of the content available at the same day of the base game release, Mega Dimensions DLC costs $30, and the Switch 2 version of Pokémon Legends Z-A costs $70.

So, if you want to play the full game as the Switch 2 version, you can go and preorder it right now for the friendly pricing of $100.

As per usual, for some unown unknown reason, I just could not find a thread about it or even the DLC announcement, oh my, I wonder why... but don't worry, here it is.

Also, the Kalos startes mega stones are reportedly unavailable unless you have an active paid Nintendo online subscription to engane in ranked pvp, so you know, if you don't have it, be sure to have a little more than $100 just in case you actually want get everything including access to the mega evolution forms for something as meaningless as gen 6 starter pokémon in a Kalos game :D

As much as I oppose offering paid DLC (and as opposed as I am to Game Freak & Pokémon in general), this is definitely not the first instance where a game + DLC would cost you over $100. Smash Ultimate, for instance, would be $100 with the two DLC Character Packs. The Sims 4 is another very strong example, serving as nothing more than a DLC compilation. I’m also recalling countless releases which advertise as “Get it a few days early! And get these extra skins!” charging well over $100USD.

The Sims costs hundreds, lol.

Disgusting practice fromt the ever stronger greedy/anti consumer growing nintendo.
Dlc that launches or gets announced with a game means its 100% cut content.

I've purchased DLC only a few times ever. It's not part of the main game, but yes it would be nice if they waited at least a month before putting out dlc. Every game these days have premium versions that can cost $100. You have your agenda, but every company even your Sony does it.

this is equivalent to video game aids

Games + Expansions have gotten to $100 or even more before, but there is already content missing from the game announced before it is released, and so, the base game is an incomplete game and needs the DLC to be the actual full game. So the price is $90 (NS1) and $100 (NS2).

It's not added content liked Sword or Scarlet, it is content you are missing day one, you know it right now. When gen 8 and 9 released those were the full games, Legends Z-A is already not the full game before release.

I know that companies plan it before release many times, that why we have the term "cut content", but when it's announced it is official.

Hmm…maybe I’m uninformed. How is the game “incomplete” without the DLC? Could you explain? I genuinely don’t know what’s up with this. As far as I’m aware, it’s Pokémon + DLC.

You can check my posting story on the Playstation thread and see for yourself how many times I lambasted Sony and Playstation Brasil.

The only agenda here is the Nintendo fanbase, the vast majority on this forums, being purposedly silent whenever it's time to talk about the shit it pulls.

Every one of these companies pulls shit on its consumers, only one specific fanbase cannot criticize or even accept other do it, tho.

How is it even a question?

The game is announced, not released, and if you don't pay $90 or $100 you do not get all the content it has announced right not, so by definition, it is not complete, as it is not whole.
