The year just keeps slipping away, it's Skyrim re-release season once again.

, not to be confused with 2013's Skyrim Legendary Edition or 2016's Skyrim Special Edition, debuted last November on new-gen consoles and PC. Its edge over the 2016 Special Edition is pretty much just the inclusion of the 48 previous Creation Club items alongside 26 new Creation Club items.

I hope this gave you less of a headache reading than I got writing it, but it only gets worse. The 2021 release of the Anniversary Edition was"only" $50! Not only does the Switch Anniversary Edition's $70 price tag rankle in a vacuum, it also highlights the absurdity of the base game's continued $60 cost on the system⁠—an indignity when I got it in 2017, and an absolute absurdity in 2022.

For those prices, you can get every Elder Scrolls game including Skyrim on Steam or GOG with enough cash left over for a hoagie or a bad haircut. The inherent flexibility of the PC and the dedicated community over at NexusMods would also allow you to customize your games with things like Goku or hentai.

And why haven't any of those other Elder Scrolls games or Bethesda's Fallouts made it to Switch? In the absence of a richly deserved Oblivion Platinum Jubilee Edition, I will one day spit in the face of God and install my physical copy of Oblivion Game of the Year Edition onto my Steam Deck through a Frankenstein apparatus of USB Blu-Ray drive and USB Type-C hub-dongle thing.

Truly though, this is all just a perverse prelude to 2034's Starfield Anniversary Edition, which will break new ground by costing 34 PrimeBux. It'd take me seven centuries' hard labor in the lithium mines to afford that! Ted has been thinking about PC games and bothering anyone who would listen with his thoughts on them ever since he booted up his sister's copy of Neverwinter Nights on the family computer.

Haha today's games are no where near worth $70.

$70 for a remake of a game that's 11 years old. Nothing new being added. Nothing being changed. Just updated graphics (so we hope) That's crazy. New game? Sure maybe. $70 for a remake? Nah.

why thou?

Just 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

The re-releases of released releases of re-released releases is getting out of hand.

Switch is a horrible platform for overpriced games.

Hey you. You're finally awake.

gaming on switch is like u choose to suffer than enjoy, lol. switch gamers down bad ngl.

It's gotten to the point for me, that I'm waiting 4 to 6 months for the half price sale or Christmas sale on Steam before buying top title games.

$70

The real question is 'why are you buying again?'

70 dollars for a decade old game is insulting.

'augh outrageous! take my money and give me a game i already own several times!'

Another more than 5 dollars is too much ong

Pump up the value and Switch it on! 🎛️

This is why I was telling people that the Switch was not cheaper than the Deck in the long run.

they forget how to make a new good games. hollywood corruption spreads on game industry.

Ok

Yeah i think Nintendo is the reason why it costs so much

Never not relevant:

For that price it should at least include Schlongs of Skyrim pre-installed.

Every game on the Switch is stupidly overpriced, always has been. You're paying the maximum fee for the shittiest performance.

Tinfoil goes brrrrrrrr

This is beyond milking it?

It's beyond ironic, cause it also just launched on Good Old Games DRM-Free, and for only $13.19

Soon enough Todd is gonna port Skyrim to the PS2 just so he can re-re-re-re-re-relaese it.

Why is there an american politician in my game? Not interested

$70 for skyrim without mods. Cool

Every time I close my eyes, I expect to find myself in that kart when I open them again.

Relax, the base game is 50% off every two weeks.
