no game company is without their issues, but i personally do like nintendo games. i wish i didn't because then i could just drop them because of their shitty legal strategies. the only times i've bought games for $60+ in the last decade have been Nintendo games, though. other than like, doom 2016. they're games i know i'll pretty much always enjoy.

personally, i also get extremely tired of the bloat that basically every AAA game has at this point. the crazy focus on massive open worlds has really tanked my enthusiasm for a lot of games. i like nintendo though and i know i'll play a lot of mario kart even if i don't do the open world stuff so that's fine with me personally.

also, i've said this before, but basically no games are $60 anymore. not from anyone. they might say they're $60, but then they've got microtransactions, and special editions, and paid early access, etc. and that's before we even take into account live service games.

i made the comparison to FFXIV where if you want to play the game for a year you'll be paying $216 minimum ($60 for the game with all the expansions + $156-$180 subscription). yet, FFXIV is literally the biggest MMO. these are prices people have been paying for a long, long time.
