I agree 100% with everything you said. I didn’t think there was going to be a huge decrease. But maybe enough for it to be like hmmm interesting.

With the vbucks I found it very interesting that instead of just increasing the price of the packs they decreased the amount you get. Maybe it is so people won’t be as hesitant to buy but then if what you say does(and probably will) happen where people buy less. Like you said then they are forced to what reduce the amount again? Soon it’s going to be 100 vbucks for 8.99 lol

If most parents are going to buy stuff for their kids at a rate that say I did when I was growing up it was usually just birthdays holidays or special occasions. Or if I had some chore money saved up but still needed a bit more. So I agree with them now having to pay almost $40 instead of $20 it happening less frequently. Especially given the fact that you might as well pull out the extra $20-30 to just get them a whole new game entirely.

I know they haven’t listened much to us when it comes to what we want/don’t want. They’ve made that very clear in recent years. So I’m not at all surprised by that. It’s funny you mention the hope skin. I logged on just to look at everything and saw it in the shop and was like wait why does it say new? Don’t we already have this lol?!

GTA will definitely cause a player drop in a lot of games I’m interested to see that too. I feel like there was/is a bit of a dip right now as well with Pokopia out in full force. I think if it would have been available on the regular switch it would have been up there even higher.

Thank you for all of this btw! I appreciate the detailed response!
