There was a veteran here who lost his bottom limbs and posted last week that price is important for him and what he earns as his pension, and is part of what helps him is his Switch, which he received as a gift. We all need something to cope or enjoy what we can out of life, and this elitist attitude really isn't helping do what the Nintendo philosophy is all about: bringing people together and having fun, politics and all other nonsense can be left at the door.

Might I also remind you of the terminal cancer patient who got Smash Ultimate last year? Should we deprive him of enjoyment too? People are gifted systems or games because it brings them joy whether they are dying, disabled, or disadvantaged, just like when I have given people a 3DS or when my cousin gave me a PS4 Pro during my down and out times after I lost my job and was unemployed for almost a year. I haven't bought a single game for it because I've borrowed or been gifted titles, but the enjoyment I have from the gift and the care attached to it is immeasurable, just as I have seen it with people I have gifted things to as well.

I don't think joy should be limited to those who can pay more than something should be charged, because yes, while the hobby is not cheap, it does not mean that we can be gouged for costs, nor does it mean we are unwilling to support independent game studios, which, by the way, likely had subsidies for using the Zelda IP.

When I was a child in public school, we shared our toys with each other regardless of their parents’ tax bracket. You are basically arguing poor kids shouldn’t play with the same toys even if kids who can afford them share or give them gifts so that they can enjoy the same things together, and this makes you unbelievably insensitive and frankly pretty selfish.

I think I'm done here with this conversation with you and anyone who subscribes to your view because I want to game with players who want to have fun together, not create this unnecessary division for haves and have-nots.
