a: Boomers didn't really have games (ok... maybe atari 2600)
b: Back in my day (Nintendo/SNES/Genesis) we didn't have the grind. It was just great game until the finish)
c: Didn't the "grind" literally start like 10 years ago? Or when cell phones got BS grind "free" games? Or maybe when they started to include mmorpg grind into single player games?
However I do agree with you on Stray. Such a great great game. I was lucky to start and finish it before it was pulled from PS+

Also arguably, the culture of game reviewers and such starting to count hours and wanting long games with tons of hours of collection chores and open-world nothingness (essentially insisting that's the standard of a good game and brainwashing all the younger gens reading gaming magazines and later online magazines like ign) started during the N64 days (we can also go into history saying arguably this mindset was created when they grew up being able to afford one Nintendo game at a time, which they'd have to play for hours, days, months, even years before their next cartridge). The grind started a long time ago and it's been downhill (uphill?) from there.
So if we want to get more specific, I suppose we can blame the gen-xers who were working in the industry at the time.
But then arguably we can say their bosses were boomers. Therefore, boomers are at fault yet again!
Do you define all switch ports this way? Do you think all Virtual Console games are new by this silly metric? Do you pay $60 for a "new" Nintendo port of their own 10 year old game? If so, you are part of the reason Nintendo keeps their prices high.
You might want to question who is "playing dumb".

Edit: I'm adding this because I honestly have no idea what the point is that you're trying to make and it takes too long to wait for a reply. Nintendo doesn't set the price and isn't in charge of the port, so I'm not sure what you are upset at. Plenty of games have a staggered release for different consoles or a long wait for a port, so it's not unique here. Your biggest complaint seems to be that the game isn't cheap enough when this version of the game was released in November of 2024 and is currently cheaper than the PS, XBox and Steam versions. I think you are just arguing because you don't like Nintendo, which is fine, but don't act like this game being at this price has everything to do with them.
