“What you see right there is variable pricing,” Bowser told The Washington Post. “We’ll look at each game, really look at the development that’s gone into the game, the breadth and depth of the gameplay, if you will, the durability over time and the repeatability of gameplay experiences.

AKA corporate greed.

    I pointed to the multiple failed companies and you point to one company as a counter-example. You insult me, but you haven’t seemed to read my points.

    Wild that Nintendo hasn’t diversified at all in 20 years to offer new products - oh wait…

      You’ve done no such thing. You’ve been sitting here licking corpo boot. No sources or valid points just flippant dismissals, anecdotal musings, and bitching that no one is paying attention to what you are saying. You are way off base in this back and forth with them.
