The problem is that a company can only push their greed so far before they start losing people. Up until now, most of the Nintendo hate came from their anti-emulation crusade. Now, it seems like everyone and their brother is talking about just how absurd the entirety of this launch is.
On places like reddit, Lenny, etc where there is a vocal minority complaining about this. The vast majority of consumers don't come on here nor do they keep themselves informed. They'll grumble at the price a bit, then buy it anyway.
I'm not talking about Lemmy. I'm talking about literally every community I've looked. Aside from fanboys being fanboys, the reaction has been nothing but outrage.
