Holy shit! I take it these lawyers have never seen the Nintendo store. Talk about insane pricing. $60-$70 for a game that was ported from a previous generation console with absolutely zero changes?
$10-$20 for a Switch 2 upgrade to play the game made for the hardware that you purchased? At least Sony gives most of these upgrades for free.
As bad as you might think Sony is, Nintendo is way worse.
Not sure that this is going to go well for the people suing. Like. The cost of games has been stagnant/hasn’t risen with inflation for so long that the new pricing (which to me subjectively is alegregious), isn’t really lawfully suspect?

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don’t share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don’t want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.
Yes, while also adjusting prices after the lawsuit came about.
