With esports such as Starcraft and League of Legends, there kinda already needs to be a "Senior's category". Say 13 to 28 yo for the regular category, and 28+ yo for the Senior's category.

But yes, generally speaking, the brain fully develops around 25 yo, and then very slowly goes downhill from then.

There are a few types of gamers when it comes to the software, the ones that buy games when they come out and take part in the “conversation,” the ones that buy them later on their own terms, the ones that always buy them on sale or second hand…
If anything higher prices might push a chunk of the market into the latter category.
But for digital Nintendo games there’s no recourse
wheat moat
and that's also the issue, Nintendo is known to not drop the price of their 1st party games even after a while....so digital, you just need to hope for them to do a sale but yeah
also when I've seen the PS5's price at the start, I was like "it's pricy" but given what it was packing at the time, I think a lot of people would be "ok" with it back then and most would look at it and be like "give it 2 years or more and we'll see a cheaper slim model with maybe the pro at $500"

With the Switch 2, Nintendo is no longer the budget console by any metric.
It’ll be vastly more expensive to own compared to a PS5 unless you only buy new.
N64 vs PS1, the PlayStation had way more games and they were cheaper and it demolished that gen.

Boots is still learning to clean herself properly, so far, so good, just needs to learn to do it more xD she only gets baths at this time to try to get her to not be afraid of water.
Scarlett needs them bc she doesn't like cleaning her rear area. She has so much fur back there she doesn't want to mess with it. I was trimming the fur, ghat with a monthly bath fixed the issue. But after that groomer traumatized her, she won't even let me near her with scissors she is so afraid.
Any other bathing is just a bath before winter and when Spring comes around to help remove loose fur for the new coats that brushing misses.

The thing with Indiana Jones though, is that it is a ~20 Hour long game, aka 1 weekend, or maybe a 3 Day Weekend. Back in the 00's especially, people would buy a brand new game for $50 or $60, play it, then sell it for $30 to $40. And when someone else buys that Used game, that obviously isn't giving any $ to the dev. And let's say 4 people end up using that copy. That is essentially equivalent to like $60 ÷ 4 = $15, even though, yes it was $60 from the original buyer. My point being, while GamePass is capable of severely hurting sales, you're still getting a little cash for each person, instead of only the people who purchase a brand new copy.

GamePass isn't a one size fits all. It can be beneficial to some games, or a dumbass choice for other games. You would never put a game like Pokemon on GamePass, because you expect 15 M copies to get sold. But when you're an unknown dev and just need people to at least try out your game, GamePass can make sense.

You basically just see which cat lights up when seeing you. They all have their own personalities and will choose people they like. Having one that lights up when it sees you, in my experience, is just great when you have a cat, you get to see more of their personality.
For some people, adopting an older cat and showing them a better life is how a cat realizes it wants to choose them.

UPDATE: Analysts continue to take a stab at Switch 2 pre-order figures and overall sales, and we now have comment from Pelham Smithers of equity research firm Pelham Smithers Associates. In an article from The Japan Times, Smither said, “as Japan accounts for a third of global Switch installation base, it implies 6.6 million pre-orders globally.” Just to be clear, this is just analysis and speculation and not cold-hard facts, so take these figures with a grain of salt. (h/t Nintendo Life)
Japan is 1/3rd of the Switch’s install base? Holy crap.
But 2.2 million was the initial demand on My Nintendo, not how many they actually had to sell.

Walmart has the best warranty.
It goes all the way up to 5 years.
Pretty legit.
Best buy covers accidentally dropping it and smashing it lol.
That's kinda weird.

Windwaker HD is the best zelda remake to date
Skyward Sword HD could've been that but they added 0 bloom filters and instead took away motion control reliability

what you said was that costco discount is only applied at a certain amount

If you get it from costco
If you ever buy more than one nintendo game you’ll spend that.

like you technically only make a saving with those, IF you get something really valuable reduced to 5$ or the amount you saved after you paid the 100

It sits in your account to break up however many ways you want.
You’re thinking of it like micro transactions but it’s just cash.

Look.
you don't get any discount if you don't buy for X Value, those type of deals are a dime a dozen, it's only there to make you spent X amount of money in that store.

None of those deals are ever there to save the consumer money.
The deal is to entice the consumer to buy more in one go.
Now, if you find you will spend that $100, then yes, that 10% off is a better buy than buying a $50 one right then for a game now and a $50 a week or two later for a game then.
If you are someone who does not buy games often enough, then it is a loss of money, and a win for the company bc they succeeded in getting you to buy more.
peak folio
High denominations to get a discount is naturally an added burden.
So getting 10% off $50 compared to $100 is nice.
But don’t FOMO yourself to load up on $50 cards with the limited time coupon because there’s no rush if you’re gonna do that.

But yeah, much like with iTunes gift cards that B&M shops used to discount all the time, if it’s for a platform that you know you’re going to spend on it’s pretty much free money.
The idea was to get people in the store.
night plume
When I see deals like that, I pull up what is out or coming out soon to see if it is worth me getting it xD
If something I want is coming out, then I'll go ahead and get it, if not, I pass bc it would be a waste of money

If one has to think about it, they can probably skip it.
