The era of insane discounts on the Switch eShop seems to be coming to an end. While we have seen sales in which titles were brought down to just a single penny, Nintendo has now taken action.
SMG Studio boss Ash Ringros has revealed that a new rule has been set up by Nintendo and the lowest price a game can be now is $1.99.
Previously, GameDiscoverCo founder Simon Carless talked about Nintendo’s efforts to stop the exploitation of the Switch eShop charts with heavy discounts, where publishers and developers would easily claim the top spots with a high percentage sale. Nintendo started by excluding games that were discounted to a penny, and now have set a minimum price.
We previously discussed the issues with the eShop here, and hopefully, this will lead to more change.
