At $80/year for the online. You'd still be saving $40/year compared to 2 switch subscriptions. You'd save enough in 5 years to buy the 3rd and still be saving $20/year on subscriptions.

What if I'm not interested in playing online? Does the new console just require a subscription or something? I didn't actually watch the announcement because I don't need a hardware upgrade. I need more games that use what I already fuckin' have.

No, none of the consoles require a subscription. You add it on if you want the extras and multiplayer.

Funnily enough, the Switch works perfectly fine without any subscription If all you want is plop your games and play without Multiplayer, you can go with a Switch just fine Even some games like Ninjala let's you play online without the subscription

Free to Play games do not need the subscription to play online. This is true for the PlayStation too.
