Because Nintendo is greedy and very rarely lowers the price of its games. Breath of the Wild won't be $20 until the Switch is almost dead.

Its only been 2.5 years! But its a damn good game and worth every penny. I finally just bought a Switch a month ago and got BotW as my only game. Im only about halfway finished (just freed a third divine beast, found and completed about 60 shrines), but its easily been worth $50 already

Come on now, give Nintendo some credit, at that time BotW will be $40.

Nintendo takes years and years to lower the prices. It's been like this for a very long time.

Super Mario Galaxy was still $59.99 (full price) when SMG 2 came out and stayed that way for awhile too. They were both the same full price despite the sequel coming out 3 years later. I was very annoyed about that.

Funny, I see Nintendo as one of the least greedy companies. Resisted the toxic lure of DLC for a long time, and usually offers decent content when it does have it now.
Compare to the companies with loot boxes and other micro transactions and like 6 different "deluxe" editions, which still don't come with everything. They're the greedy ones.
The reality is, those games drop in price so fast b/c aside from swindling the people willing to buy it full price to have it on day 1, a game to those companies isn't the main source of income. It's a gate way to lure players into so they'll blow tons of cash on additional content.
Nintendo makes a quality game, and expects to make its income from the sale of that game, period. I vastly prefer it that way.

They didn't say they were the greedy ones, just that they were greedy.

But just having quality games that don't depreciate in cost doesn't make them greedy.

Brand strengthening. Nintendo doesn't exactly live on it's 3rd party line up so it needs to have a solid core brand to be perceived as valuable. People associate quality and status with price regardless of quality.

whoever thinks nintendo isn't greedy doesn't know that they're charging to play online now

with it's garbage online functions that are stuck in 2004

there isn't even messaging, or parties, or even voice chat. you have to use a phone app to talk to other people

what the fuck

and they want money for this.

I was talking about the selling of games and whatever else was brought up in that other post. Charging for online play isn't part of the greed from game prices. It does factor into the overall greed though, depending on how much it is.

No. I know. But $20 a year is cheaper than the other ones, so... And they give you stuff, apparently. I got emails from them with codes for stuff in certain games... It may be considered greedy. But much less so to the point where I don't really care much...

Thats because nintendo fanboys have decided after hearing about their dads copy of original zelda going for 60 bucks mint they want some of that sweet resail money without the wait

I remember when used games used to be cheaper than new. It can still be this way if people stop getting digital too

The games are pretty fun. And usuallymones that are harder to get the original on. And really old. Though, they do add more stuff, as well. And the DLC. While I have gotten games from the other 2, I dont remember getting random DLC codes. And its still cheaper. They can still be called greedy if you want. But much less so than the other 2...
