I imagine Nintendo could make a tonne selling Zelda games for PC for 1.5x what they normally charge, simply for performance and controller compatibility.
Depends on your country but switch games range 50-70 € and pc games are more like 10-100€ but with ones comparable to Switch games mostly 30-60€. So yes mostly, but they’re not that far off that they would definitely do poorly.
"Hey we released this new game buuuuut you’re going to need to purchase an entire separate computer system we call a ‘console’ because we refuse to compile the game binary for PC OSes, nor provide the source for you to do so yourself”
I interpret distributors and publishers treating me as a second (or third) class citizen as carte blanche to acquire your content and make the necessary changes to make it work on my environment of choice.

I don’t think a lot of people would buy e.g. BotW for 100 bucks.
Don’t switch games already cost more than PC games, I kinda doubt people would be willing to pay even more.

Right?
If they hate emulators so much, why aren’t they selling native x86 versions?
they could even sell a VM image as they’ve proven it still runs better virtualised on other machines than it does native on theirs
