Lmao someone in the comments said they were sold a used one (at brand new price) straight from the manufacturer.
Then someone replied to them saying basically, “that’s on you from ordering from the manufacturer instead of a trusted store like Amazon. I had no problems with them.”
I get where you’re coming from, but ads don’t just want people talking, they want to turn people into buyers.
After the success of the PS2, virtually their entire market knew about the PS3. But even with those weird ads and their previous massive success with the PS2, the PS3 was selling terribly poorly around the time of the baby ad, IIRC.
It always seemed like “Baby’s first GTA” to me, but I think the Spyro the Dragon series might scratch that same itch. Especially the second and third games on the PS1.
I don’t seem to recall Nintendo making me pay anything for something I didn’t want.
I’m 100% in favour of emulation and whatnot, but I don’t understand what your problem is.
Remakes, re-releases and ports? What’s the big deal? If you had BotW on the WiiU, don’t buy it on the Switch. TotK came out on the Switch, so they’re still releasing new games.
Again, I love the emulation scene and I know piracy is important for game preservation. I don’t understand what your complaint is, though…
