Supposedly, Nintendo is putting an end to small developers playing the Switch eShop graphics with cheap deals by putting a cap on prices.
This information comes from SMG studies via Reddit. In a short reply message, it highlights how a 99-cent sale to the game is sold Death square would be its “lowest price” of Nintendo Switch, as the “new rules” in force in the Switch eShop now seem to prevent developers from setting the prices of games low $ 1.99. Viouslybviamente, this excludes free titles.
“This is the lowest price you will ever have. The new eShope rules mean no game can be under $ 1.99 and that’s 99c because I planned this sale in August! Haha, well that I overcame the system! “
While Death Squared is no longer on sale, a quick look at Switch eShop reveals that there are still a number of games available for less than $ 1.99 (99 cents, to be precise): they include titles how Plague Road, HoPiKo, Knight Swap 2 i Ant-Gravity: The Adventure of Tiny.
Perhaps the developers of these titles also blocked sales long before the new rules came into play.
According to a story published in Polygon, Nintendo recently stopped games that cost a single penny from becoming Switch eShop’s “best-seller” list. Apparently, there is now a rule that prevents developers from providing 100% discounts if a user already has a game in their catalog.
