Actually I buy games I will enjoy based on knowing I will enjoy them, not on the amount of content they have and I haven't purchased a Pokemon game since Black and White 2 so...
Price is not a factor, and gamers trying to make it one just leads to shit shows like ubisoft games where they pad them out with endless worthless "content" for the sake of having it.
But now you're trying to goalpost shift again, you have done nothing to disprove me saying $40 Sword/Shield doesn't make it a better game. Know why? Because you can't. So now the argument is "content" also debunked. What's the next goal post shift mate?
