It's not just investors who don't see the point of them anymore. Gamers have by and large turned their backs on them due to extremely predatory practices and price gouging. I can't even remember the last time I stepped foot in one. I have a feeling that my Switch is gonna be the last console that I own. I outgrew dedicated consoles over a decade ago but have been in denial about it. PC only for me now. I have a feeling that with hardware like steamdeck, I'm not the only one who will be following this shift.

I bought Mario Wonder there when it came out. I do hear stories of them offering really low ball prices to people selling or trading items with them. I don't avoid buying from them, but I don't favor it either. Their price on the game was the same as everywhere else and it was close. Simple as that.

I'm 90% a PC gamer but I do like the Switch, I'll probably buy the Switch 2 if the price point is around the $350 I'm reading. I think that's fair. Switch was the first console I bought since the N64.

THE RULES:

No advertising, this includes "Free stuff for your whatever" type posts, even if you didn't write the post.
Posts must be about things businesses are doing. Posts that are nothing more than long writeups with links to things that "help your business" or explain "why you need this for your business" are advertising and fall under rule #1.
Keep memes and image posts on topic for what businesses are doing.
You're free to talk about what you've done in making your personal business a success, but talk about it in general terms. Don't give product names, pictures, or any kind of links.
Start at #1 and read the rules again.

Posts that are amusingly bad may be moved to /s/HaveAPepsi and deemed "Coke." Batteries are not included, this offer void where prohibited by law, which is pretty much everywhere including the moon, no cash value save that which is in your pants pockets and will need to be given to us. By using this sub, you offer control of your soul to stupidbird who may use it for whatever purposes, up to and including the dark arts in which case your only recourse is to appeal to the council of evil and have your petition denied. Birds are not real. We’ll decide what will be on the contract. You’ll pay us to be allowed to do the work. You will make the product. Then you’ll give it to us, and it will be ours forever. If anybody buys it, we might give you some money. If you’re lucky. Or we might put it in a drawer and forget about it. In any event you will get nothing, and you will thank us for it. You understand that any breach of this agreement may invoke unspecified consequences of a dire nature, potentially affecting your being in ways beyond your comprehension. Proceed at your own peril. We've increased your synergy, but this sub cannot save you money if you own a parakeet. Parakeets are not real. All posts here are for informational purposes only and should not be taken as business or medical advice. Supplies are limited, this offer void after January 1, 1922 or when supplies are exhausted. Please put that down, don't stick that in there, and for the love of god please put on some pants, no one wants to see that. (c) 1988 Con-Troll, Inc, PO Box 12, Wrestlemania, MN.
