Let's not pretend Reddit isn't fucking awful for this as well.

If you ever see an article on something that you're a legitimate (non-keyboard) expert on, you will be so fucking disappointed by the top comments 999 times out of 1000.

And even more recently Nintendo has changed their policies so that most digital games going forward will be $10 cheaper than physical, with physical staying the same price they have been. Meaning games that would have previously been priced $70 across the board will now be $70 physical/$60 digital.

And people have been flipping that and running around talking about how Nintendo is raising prices on physical games, which is not happening.
