    Lemmy loves to shit all over Nintendo. The fact is that their first-party physical games hold value and only increase over time.

    Buying physical on Sony and Xbox just doesn’t matter outside of the $8 you’ll get on it at GameStop or the $10 you’ll get selling on OfferUp.

      Well, technically, Nintendo’s first party games hold there their price because Nintendo never lowers or discounts their games. I recently looked at Deku Deals (a price tracking website for games across all platforms), and none of the Nintendo’s first party games on the eShop I looked at had any discounts since late 2024. For example, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Nintendo Switch release title, 2017) originally released at €70 is still sold at €70, and last discount at eShop was summer 2024.

        True that Nintendo rarely puts games on sale, but BOTW was on sale on the eShop like a month or two ago.
