      I haven’t given Nintendo a dollar in 30 years now. Not since my last N64 game purchase.

        People complain about their practices then when they release something they go suck their dicks

        People complained about switch 2, people still bought it

        People complained about $80 games, people still bought it

          I won’t mind sommuch, If their games were even remotely worth $80. But they’re not, let’s face it, if it’s a competition between yet another mairo cart and a steam deck plus a few indi and AA titles, it ain’t even a competition. The high cost of the steam deck is offset by the low cost of the games.

            I’m not sure steam deck would even be considered “high cost” since you can get a refurbished unit directly from steam for about half the price of a switch 2.

            And even a brand new one is still cheaper.

            Plus there are parts and instructions available on how to fix and replace pieces yourself should that ever be needed, unlike some drift issues from Nintendo’s controllers where they basically tell you to spend more money or get bent.

        They don’t mean you. They mean the people in the Nintendo communities who downvote and mod even the slightest criticism of their precious company.

          I haven’t bought a console since the game cube, and bought a switch for my nephew. When i saw the prices of the games, i was a bit confused. Why is a 8 year old game still full price, why does it have the most disgusting dlc system i have ever seen and so on. I asked that in a nintendo sub Reddit. It wasn’t reddit, but i don’t remember where. People there were insane tbh. They defended their previous nintendo to the death. Their answer to everything was basically: buy the game and dlc and shut the fuck up, it’s worth it.

      Yeah but at the same time those people are already tech braindead. Maybe the people that has to go against them it’s not the tech brain dead but the people that care about tech ethics. For example, game developers not accepting porting to Nintendo platforms.

      I really don’t get why indie devs sign contracts with Nintendo, when Nintendo literally holds tons of blood in his hands from destroyed indie games by demands.
