Porting isn't. Free.I call BS if you think Nintendo has nothing to do with pricing these games.
They have all (Doom, Wolfenstein, Skyrim) been ~ $20 on other, more powerful consoles.
It is no coincidence that they come out on Switch at all $60.
Not a single one tried $40?
But to answer the question, why are they charging $60 for a six year old game?
Because some lemming, moron, sheep, stooge, mark will pay it.
Everytime you pay $60 for $20 games, you are saying it is ok, keep doing it.
It does not cost as much as developing it brand new on a portable base though.Porting isn't. Free.
... the fuck is wrong with you?Because people who use a Switch as their primary console are fucking **** so why not charge them and bleed them more. I say it's too affordable, they should rise the price more for 10 years old games.
Ill give you DKTF, its bullshit thats $60 when the og was only $50 (and now $20)Not Nintendo here. But they charge you 60€ for the four year old DKCTF and Mario Kart 8, they charge you 40€ for the 16 year old Luigi's Mansion, they charge you (...)
The reason probably is that people are willing to pay that amount of money for old news.
So you can lick it...
Maybe you are, but i was commenting on the OP, and that is about Diablo.We are talking about what the market can bear and the Switch market is happy to buy ports (some great, some with debatable cuts see DOOM 2016) at a pretty premium price. All the success stories from first and third party developers doing that just encourage more to do the same.
Maybe you are, but i was commenting on the OP, and that is about Diablo.
But I agree with you that people appear to be willing to buy full priced ports for switch.
Depends on the personal value the game has for each person. I myself have to admit that i bought a few WiiU Ports for Switch.How's that thing that people get when they expend lots of money and they convince themselves it's the greatest thing they ever paid for?
Do you have any hard evidence that it’s a MASSIVE reduction in costs? People don’t seem to recognize that keeping digital content on massive amounts of servers is a significant cost as well.This is, IMHO, quite revisionist history at best and corporate apology at worst, depending on how it is meant and how it is taken.
Are you seriously telling me that there was no expectations that a MASSIVE reduction in risk (inventory and manufacturing planning too) and in costs (production, shipping, and storing) would lower game prices instead of increasing them?!?
Funny how so many are defending nintendo here (because it is activision game) and forgetting how nintendo almost always charges full price on their games even if they are ports/5y old.
My friend owns game store and he says that while sony/ms drops their prices after weeks/months, Nintendo almost never drops em + their prices are 5-10€ higher than others at launch.
Like ps4 game costs 50€ to him, and switch game costs 55-60€.
Nintendo is greediest company of the three, always charging max prive for lowest quality parts and old games.
Is that from Docked/Portable or what? Sorry, i have a tendency to enter a stance of doubt when shots like these are thrown in that don't explain with what and how they were made.Why not? People paid $60 for this:
Yes, the reasonable thing to do would be selling it for a discounted price, but why do that when a flock of diehard Nintendo fans are going to buy it at full price?

I saw some Nintendo fans talking about this subject as they were glad that Nintendo almost never dropped the prices of their 1st party games because they would never get frustrated to see that price dropping in a near future an feeling regretful for buying the damn game at launch. Now this is some serious mental gymnastics.
Don't remember, I grabbed it from another forum.Is that from Docked/Portable or what?
lol what? What exactly is there to doubt? I'm not the first or only person to document how blurry/low res Wolfenstein 2 looks on Switch. Even Doom suffers from it to a degree. A simple google search will free you of your "stance of doubt".Sorry, i have a tendency to enter a stance of doubt when shots like these are thrown in that don't explain with what and how they were made.
Because Switch owners will buy anything
Grow the fuck up.Because people who use a Switch as their primary console are fucking **** so why not charge them and bleed them more. I say it's too affordable, they should rise the price more for 10 years old games.
It is overpriced on other systems too for the latest incarnation. The only way you get it cheap is buy Vanillia plan Diablo 3 on past systems. This is NOT Nintendo's fault.That's no excuse.
There is no reason for this game to be so overpriced.
It does not cost as much as developing it brand new on a portable base though.
Greedy folks will be greedy. It's the exact reason i didn't buy No Man's Sky on Xbox. People paid $60 to start. Lots of folks got refunds. I kept mine Those who stayed got free updates. Game became old. Game releases on xbox one for $50-$60 dollars (can't remember the exact price right now). Promises 4k...blah blah blah. Then I look at PS4.
So lemme get this straight. If I skipped out on No Man's Sky and I'm on Playstation, I could buy the entire game, dlc and all, for $19.99. However if I want it on my Xbox...it's $50-$60?
No thanks, you're not that important.
Then how are we supposed to know if that picture is actually representative?Don't remember, I grabbed it from another forum.
Since you don't know in which situation that picture was taken, we cannot verify if this is representative.lol what? What exactly is there to doubt?
Yeah, but that's not why i said what i said. Because your example lacks details, its why i said that i tend to enter a stance of doubt: Who is to say it was a deliberate picking? In this case it would make little sense considering the core look of the gameI'm not the first or only person to document how blurry/low res Wolfenstein 2 looks on Switch. Even Doom suffers from it to a degree. A simple google search will free you of your "stance of doubt".
There is no point in making that remark.Except games on other platforms... lol.

Well now wait a minute, porting isn't free but surely it's cheaper than making a new game.Because contrary to popular belief, you don't just hit ctrl-c, ctrl-v to get a game ported to another platform. They had to pay people salaries to do the work involved in porting Diablo 3 to Switch.
If you think it's not worth the price, don't buy it or wait for a sale. It will no doubt go on sale sooner or later.
