I mean this game was in the top charts for 90% of its life until TotK released. Google said it’s been sold about 33 million times. Everyone who wanted to play it already got it. And my guess is a $10/20 upgrade cost per game if you want the enhancement patch.

I don't know how to tell you this, but there are more than 33 million gamers in the world and, this is where your mind will really be blown, new ones are growing up every day.

There is zero good reason for an eight year old game being re-released as an enhanced edition to not be bundled with its dlc packages. This is a whole new low, even for Nintendo.

It’s funny how when using any form of business sense your first paragraph completely explains a good reason for your second paragraph. Like you typed that all out not realizing you’re literally writing the good reason for an eight hour old game being re-released as an enhanced edition is that there is a new market segment for it, and they haven’t captured the full existing market.

Like don’t get me wrong I’m not buying the botw dlc, I’ve owned Botw since launch in Wii U and don’t have the dlc. I’m not some sort of Nintendo fan boy, but I’m also not an idiot who is raging at Nintendo for being ran like a business. Either this gamble will work (more than likely it will) or it won’t and they will find a new buisness plan. Like this is borderline common sense especially because it’s going to sell.

Anti Nintendo fan boys are experiencing major brain rot.

When I said "good reason", I didn't mean "except for to make more money". I felt that part was obvious.

Also, I'm not entirely sure if you were calling me an anti Nintendo fanboy, but if I understood you correctly and you were, that's hilarious if you knew anything about me.

When someone is backed into a corner like you are they normally have to start explaining what they explicitly stated isn’t what they explicitly meant and I find that funny.

I don't know what corner I'm backed into mate.
