Plus it's a game-key card, so it'll be worthless when Nintendo's servers shut down.

man on one hand people are free to say what they want and I agree with all the "nintendo doing bad anticompetitive stuff and jacking up prices too high" stuff, but seeing "hard pass" "nintendo bad" frequently on posts that are not memes or waifu pics doesn't feel too good. where does the line between "let people enjoy stuff" and "people should be informed of bad things going on" and "don't censor criticism" stand… luckily i'm not mod so it's not my decision to make lol, but i sure do both feel a way ("let me enjoy Pokémon") and feel bad about feeling that way ("but people are allowed to vent and be upset")

Don't worry the oceanic storefronts have quite the good discounts.

It's not very fair to compare the pricing in a vacuum IMO. I remember reading an article about how the prices of some games are justified when you consider how much content they contain, relative to a movie - and the price of the ticket to watch it in cinema - for example.

$100 is 2.5x of $40, but it's only fair if they do provide 2.5x playtime of content, no?
