Not sure why you're being downvoted, this is right. And every other console company has been charging for it, too. For longer, at a higher price.

There's this recurring theme I'm seeing where when Nintendo does something price-wise people act like it's the end of the world. And, almost every time, the other big dogs have already done it, and typically worse.

The reality is 80 dollars is about expected for a flagship game. 450 dollars is the cheapest console around. And, NSO is the cheapest subscription. I think people percieve Nintendo as making kiddy games so they expect kiddy prices. The problem is, that doesn't mean the games are cheap to produce.

Yeah, this seems like a non-issue, as a player would already need NSO to play online in the first place.
