Agree to disagree, I suppose. The OP could use a colon and perhaps a small edit for clarity. That’s a far cry from nonsensical ramblings. But I cannot speak for your ability to digest a post made quickly - so if that’s how it was received: I imagine the explanation should have been sufficient. Your response suggests otherwise. My point was made, and clarified, which to me is sufficient. If you can’t work though it - that’s unfortunate but acceptable.
Asked by the consumer who has broken records buying the switch 2 with the batshit insane clause: “We can brick your console for any reason and are denying your rights to how and where you can sell your purchased games.”
That’d be the gimpsuit.
Shall I detail the number of times nintendont has overstepped it’s legal rights and trampled on those of developers, consumers, and frequently their own employees?
Nintendo’s lawyers know no boundaries. They frequently get apologists making excuses for them while they force their will on whomever they please. What they need is a solid kick in the teeth and to be told to fuck right off.
Why are they jacking prices up? Why are they inserting assinine clauses in user agreements?
Because people just love the abuse apparently. That’s certainly what the market appears to be saying: “Yes daddy N. punish me harder.”
I believe that summarizes the intent of my original statement sufficiently.
I didn’t think it required that much thought… but apparently I was mistaken.
Nintendo isn’t just the nestle of companies to users… they are the same or worse to their own.
I’ve seen people lose teams over errant comments about a novel idea for the IP they would love to see happen, or maybe even be developing as a passion project, purged for the notion that they were anything more than drones.
It’s a disgusting work culture taking advantage of bright eyed developers that grew up with fond memories of the brand. I genuinely love some of the IP and worlds made by the developers - but I will never, ever, spend a fucking penny on that company until it is changed.
Look I don’t fault developers for kissing the ring. I know and have spoken with multiple devs at different Nintendo affiliated companies and they don’t enjoy it either but it lets them make the games they love for the people that they want to entertain.
I can’t say I support hating a full group of people because that’s not great either. “… except for the Amish but it’ll never get back to them” - John Pinette
Meanwhile StarCraft, one of the most pervasive rts for its time and in the PC gaming sphere in general … let you have multiple people play multiplayer on a single disk. Offline. It’s kinda like it advertised itself and people went out to buy it… which influenced more people… who bought it… gasp.
Man I was ready to trash this post as an ad, but this stopped me. IMO you should put your opinion in the post to make for a more compelling interaction… otherwise it’s just an RSS feed with more steps.
On topic: I like the concept of handheld that can do double duty via oLink etc. With a lot of these handhelds I think we’re on the verge of seeing something finally replace laptops. There’s some hurdles to jump but I genuinely feel like this formfactor is part of the next step.
