Let's not pretend every publisher isn't planning on doing this. Nintendo just happens to be the first here.

    All it takes is for a major corporation to pull the trigger. Since Nintendo is willing to take that step, other companies are going to be observing to see if it's worth the temporary backlash.

    I get the MSRP outrage, but I mean it's not an unusual cost for launch day titles, especially for physical media.

    I don't think I've ever paid full retail for any game or console I've ever owned though. And I do like to own my games by buying physical media (or at least the installer files).

    Thing is that they even do this shady thing now where retails is 10 bucks more than the digital version.

    Usually because you actually own the retail/physical version but they can rescind access to a digital copy at any point.

    But I usually buy old games or new ones second hand, so, I exist on a slightly different market place...
