    Legends ZA isn’t that expensive. It costs the equivalent of 69€ or $81 in the high VAT country I live in for the switch 2 version.

      I assume they’re talking about the DLC as well. All together, the game + DLC over here is $140. I assume it’s closer to $120 for America, but haven’t done the conversions.

          Wow our dollar is shit. Not certain where the $120+ is coming from, then. But it is clickbait, so I suppose that’s the point.

              Is that really fair to add? Nobody did it for PSN or xbox live. Also who is to say this is the only game you want online for? Then there’s family pricing which is often split amongst members.

              $100 is already a lot for a game. No need to inflate the figure.

                I think these online subscriptions are proving to be a major factor in why there’s been a migration of audiences from consoles to PC. People are seemingly running the long-term calculus in their heads and realizing PC is cheaper at a certain threshold.

                Yes. We are talking about Pokemon. You know “You gotta catch em all!!” series. You need online to do that.

        Isn’t that a DLC ? Bonus content for a bonus price.
