They do not sell SNES and N64 games for $80, no. You know those are on the NSO app already, right?
Look, if you wanna be mad that Mario Kart World is $80, that's fair to be mad at. But you don't gotta make up misinformation.
Wasn't intentionally spreading misinformation. Classic games, as you said, are cheaper. However switch 1 games are still $80. And my point about legally being able to emulate them stands.
I'll retract my statements on the cost of legacy games here and go back through my previous comments and change them to reflect this.
Switch 1 games are not $80.

I beg to differ
That's CAD, the article in the OP was about USD.
Just nitpicking now.
I can't tell if you were intentionally trying to mislead, but you know that this discourse was never about CAD, right? You know that the article is discussing USD, right?
It's not nitpicking to say that you've been misleading, whether intentionally or not.
Fair enough. Not doing it intentionally. Just a dumbfuck 🤷
