The fact that you think $70 is somehow tied to just pretty graphics is a bit concerning. The game took 6 years to make and you can clearly see by playing it or in reviews that no one is asking where those 6 years went to because the game is absolutely packed with content.
It is perfectly possible for a Switch game to be $70 because Nintendo isnt going to tell its developers that they cant have good salaries for their 6 year project just because the graphics arent as good….
Also, of course its a way to guarantee 2 sales instead of 1, but given that they are giving you a discount for it and you have an entire year to spend it however you like, why is it “scummy”?
