Imaginary murder is also fucked up, but shooter games are still pretty fun. Should we ban all non-educational books and media that portay violence? Cartoon violence nonetheless… Though I will say fuck Nintendo.
Yeah I wasn’t being serious but based on the downvotes I don’t think Lemmy got that.
My intent was actually to fuck over Nintendo with a patent about making your pets fight each other the way they keep gobbling up patents for shit that already exists.
You made a comment that is typically meant with complete seriousness without any indication you were joking. PETA, for example, has an entire anti-Pokemon campaign built on the premise that Pokemon is animal cruelty.
Yeah. I can see it wasn’t clear and then I started trolling people who yelled at me which didn’t help my case.
I should have been more clear, that I was trying to call out the hypocrisy of Nintendo’s lawsuit with Palworld (Pokémon with guns) when their own game could be considered just as immoral by some.
I’m annoyed at companies that would rather sue than compete. Palworld is a different game with different ideas.
Hey beehaw, I’ve got the hottest off-the-press rumour for you today: I predict video game companies will continue to produce video games for the foreseeable future! Unbelievable, I know, but my insider knowledge tells me that companies often seek profit by providing goods and services.
You don’t really own a console. Just look what happened to Sony owners and the content they paid hard earned money for on their consoles. Microsoft and Nintendo are not outliers here. The PCMR “weirdness” the guy above was complaining about is also not walled off from this bullshit. Thanks to Microsoft.
However PCs have a solid chance with gaming becoming more and more embraced by the Linux community.
From what I saw watching a few streams it seemed fine, closer to the original games but still having that slight off feeling of modern Ubisoft games. Seems like a good game on sale for $30
Ig it depends on how close Switch 2 is to the original switch and if Nintendo decides to group them together in their reporting numbers like they do for the DS all the way up until the 3DS.
I think if there are no “Switch 2 cartridges” and it’s all just Switch Cartridges, with just Cartridges that need a Switch 2 to “unlock full performance” it’ll probably be grouped the same. That’s how it was with the DS, all DSs could play all DS cartridges with just limited performance or missing features (e.g. a DSi “enhanced” game would work for the most part on a DS Lite). Up until the 3DS, at that point the cartridge format changed and only the 3DS could play 3DS carts and thus Nintendo breaks it away into its own sales numbers
That’s what I meant by “WiiU style failure”. If the Switch 2 doesn’t really seem like a worthwhile upgrade, people may keep on buying Switches. My Switch just broke, so I’m hoping it’s not a dud.
Not all markets will jump immediately to the newest consoles. Brazil for example is lagging behind greatly when it comes to video game console due to high taxes and poor wages. PS2 and PS3 are still popular there. Even Sega Genesis was sold in Brazil up until recently (yes, newly manufactured Genesis).
Pirated ones, probably, though I doubt anyone other than the dear leader is allowed to play, because “western propaganda”. Not like you’d have many people in there with a good PC anyway. Or even electricity.
as of now; I can’t play any game that requires a network connection (Basically making all the money I put into MW3 over the last 6 months even more worthless)
