I think that is because nobody wants to pay full price for underserviced games in later years. Most games that last long term are cheap to begin with not too many sequels. That's why COD drops so quick as there will be another one next year. League of legends, fortnite, DotA 2, overwatch, cs go, destiny, GTA are all e sports or their base games don't come out every year. The reason why GTA and destiny are able to be cut down is that they know if you want to play long term, you will have to purchase the dlcs.

The graphics on a switch are so much worse than any PC or console game. It's cheaper to make.

The only game I've seen in mobile, console, and PC with their graphics is fortnite. The difference in the graphics are tremendous between them.

BotW was nearly 100m to make.

generally. You are just grabbing what you can.

Imagine what it would be on PC. It would be more expensive.

you're gonna sit there and tell me it's not cheaper to make a game on a mobile unit than a full fledged PC?

You're gonna sit there and tell me the Switch is just some ordinary "mobile unit"?

Did not say it was an ordinary one but it's still a mobile unit however good it is. I dunno what you are arguing for the sake of arguing but developing graphics for a graphics card the size of the one in the switch is easier than one on the console or PC.

You say that yet here we are with BotW costing more than Metal Gear Solid V. The numbers simply don't back up your claim.

You have ONE game you keep referring too. Even it doesn't have a counterpart on PC or Console that would back up your claims. I didn't say BotW is a cheap game, I said it's cheaper to develop it on the Switch than it is a bigger gaming rig.

The point is beside you obviously.

The point is you don't have a point.

If you own any type of battle royale that you play on the regular (ESPECIALLY a product of EA), then I have no shame in saying you are a real problem that needs to reflect on yourself and ask:


“What brought me to this low point in my gaming life? Why am I letting such brain dead, sellout shooter games take over my library? Will I be irrelevant once Valve sinks the Epic store after matching the revenue share and releases the source engine 3?”

Splatoon, Mario (odyssey thankfully only has free DLC), Zelda, and Mario Kart most definitely have micro-transactions, but they're not super bad. I'd argue that the Zelda Season Pass was a huge rip off though.
