Well joining the party of others is not good, when the others do shit, is it? This is not for framing Nintendo the devil and other console companies as angels.
Global console gaming is dominated by three major corporations, all now focused on expanding profit margins (with 'margins' being the keyword). Nintendo, with its strong loyal fanbase and historically stable pricing, is the easiest target to start another round of game price hikes.
It is really simple. You put a swastika on your flag, blow an important empty building and you say the country is in an emergency, transfering all powers to White House.
I don't know. I never had a Nintendo before my Switch, so many things in the video were uknown to me.
Yes, maybe the criticism leans toward the hateful side, but Nintendo is pushing it too far with their tactics these days.
Life goes on, I suppose. It seems gaming has hit its developmental ceiling, and companies are scrambling to find new ways to milk the cow for every drop.
Yeah it was a bit lengthy. That's why i only watch youtube videos when i am cleaning the house or doing other stuff. Well when they are more like a podcast anyway.
I don't want to ruin it for you, but all rich at 1 billion level and above, or people with power believe that life is a game, and all others exist just to serve them. Believing that the world is a simulation does not make you an arrogant fascist SOB.
The console for $ 450 is not that insane (although it is somewhere PS4 power equal), the game prices and some other anti consumer practices are. I am playing in PC, and the only console i had the past 15 years was Switch. I did not know many games where dropped to $20 before Switch only to resale them at $60 after.
Many gamers had no problem with a $70 some years ago, buying the games and now its going up. Until they realize it, they will ask themselves why $120 games is the new norm in a few years.
Also charging $10 for playing the games you own in a new console that you bought, without almost no content, man consumers suck hard for accepting that.
Well the more mainstream gaming got, the more idiots are buying games and stuff, the more gaming companies exploit us. I did not know about that for Sony and Microsoft. I knew other shitty things they did, but as i only play on PC and having a Switch (only console after PS1), i miss some details about how really bad gaming exploit has gotten.
They know that loyal fans will buy it. They will also buy Switch 2 day-one and Switch 2 OLED after 2 years. They do not care for the average costumer and user really.
1st, they could made it to Switch too, there is no need for extra console.
2nd, both games had companion apps free from community, so its a minor improvment to that
