It not exactly, but it does feel like it should be related… maybe if you are paying full price regardless and there’s never a sale or reduction in price then the implication is the game is remaining at full support and compatibility indefinitely too?
I wonder if they will eventually reduce the price once they stop supporting the game fully
What kind of indefinite support do you expect? It’s mostly a single-player game. Multiplayer is peer-to-peer. Once all bugs are fixed, the game is done.
If hardware and software advance to the point that the game no longer runs, a discount won’t help with that either.
Not sure if throwing shade here is intentional or not. :P
To be fair, they also don’t put their game on discount, so there is an obligation to keep it up to date.
How are these two things related?

Windows changes slowly rot old games, even if an old game still runs you slowly have to jump through more hoops to run it.
Good thing this game runs on Mac… and Linux… and Switch 1, all natively
Very good thing, but doesn’t help anyone who bought the game on windows.
And realistically Mac will break much quicker, and Linux will probably break too. Switch I agree should be solid, you don’t mess with console apis.
You don’t buy for a specific platform… you have it for all platforms other than Switch, because Nintendo.
I guess inflation indirectly reduces the price every year?
