Episode notes
Chaotic Switch 2 Pre-Order
- The Switch 2 pre-order was chaotic with some securing units early while many faced website issues.
- The Ringer's video game team members Jhomi Adeniran, Benjamin Lindbergh, and others successfully pre-ordered despite the shambles.
Video Game Pricing Evolution
- Video game prices like Mario Kart World Tour and Donkey Kong rising to $80, GTA at $100 signal a new costly era.
- This shift reflects inflation, higher game development costs, and changes in consumer expectations.
Avoid Inflated Pre-Order Costs
- Avoid paying inflated prices for pre-order games loaded with artificial early access or exclusive collectibles.
- Wait to buy once the worthiness is proven or discounted to avoid unnecessary overspending.
