  • Also, less innovation. Nintendo, for better or worse, always does its own thing. Sometimes that turns out bad, but often it turns out interesting at least and amazing at best. PS and Xbox do mostly the same thing with small gimmicks that are sometimes just dropped (kinnect 2). Nintendo goes all out with stuff that nobody else does. Like the combined portable and home console, handheld with 3D, a console with a giant board controller, a console with nunchucks as controllers. It goes outside of the box boldly and people rightfully love it for it, even if their hardware is most of the times weaker than the other console makers.

    I can't imagine that Xbox or Playstation would want to get rid of the business rival that deliberately not competes with them on the same level.

  • Horror two genres that really aren’t know for their conservative values a

    Objection. It's obviously a huge genre, but there is certainly conservatism to be found there. I point to the xenophobia of Lovecraft as an example and the tropes of teenager slashers where "slutty" women die and "pure" women live, and Black people tend to not live long.

  • Yeah, Nintendo have enough funds to just sit there and do nothing for decades. We also have seen plenty that they chose to go their own way instead of chasing whatever is popular right now for a quick buck.

    As long as they have leaders following the Nintendo philosophy, they're just going to truck on, at their own pace for better and worse.

  • It doesn't work the same here as with B2C products. Excluding hobby developers who wouldn't been hit either way. most people paying for Unity are trying to make a living and a company eradically throwing the pricing model around is not a good look when there are altrnatives around.

    People can and will go to alternatives for new projects. Unreal, if you want a marketplace and impressive 3D and Godot if you want FOSS. Not to mention the otber game engines.

    It's about money here, in some cades not little amount of money.

  • I mean, the thing about the fediverse is that everything is connected. That's why a lot of non-UK people frequent this part too or see it on the front page or in their subscriptions.

    You would need to Brexit from the fediverse to prevent that. Maybe send users to the Rwandan fediverse server.

  • I mean, they have a lot to lose. There are strong alternatives. Unreal and Godot are at the doorstep. Godot doesn't take anything at all, Unreal takes, but in a reasonable manner and it's of course on 3D a lot more powerful and also offers an asset store.

    The games already developed and deep into development are unlikely to jump, but future games will have a huge argument against Unity now. Unreal could completely snap their necks now by putting into writing that they never do such move.
