I find it funny that they specifically refer to the past year for a large increase in piracy. Remind me when it was that companies started consistently charging even more for the base package of their games…
In retrospect I regret drinking the Nintendo koolaid for so long, but turning what used to be the fairly equitable Virtual Console system into a ROM rental service made me jump ship to the Steam Deck and it’s been smooth sailing since.
This is precisely why I’ve always waited for the GOTY version to release (or whatever other subtitle they slap on the box) but through all of their BS I find I’m less and less willing to part with my money. Certain companies have become a no-fly zone for me and that list is only growing longer.

Or when they popularized the concept of “base” and “complete” editions as a means of turning a $60 game into a $90 game.
*$70 game
*$120 complete
Don’t forget the $40 season pass!
Make sure to preorder to get an exclusive™ cosmetic item that’ll be resold as $5 DLC soon after.
Me: I’ll just wait half a year for the price to drop.
Nintendo: 🖕
