Same tbh. I bought Metroid Prime Remastered and Tears of the Kingdom brand new in 2023 but it was not long after that I decided to stop buying their games brand new entirely. My thinking was that I’ll buy a Switch 2 brand new maybe a year after it comes out, unless they really mess up with physical games as much as Xbox has, requiring internet, or something stupid like PS5 slim/pro’s DRM in the disc drive that demands a one-time connection. Those hopes about physical games being good seem to be okay, but the pricing of the Switch 2 has completely soured the idea of buying the console instead. And the sheer price of the games makes me know I won’t even be able to afford to buy games if I even got the console years after release (because they never drop game prices).
