I find it funny that people praise that Japanese matey for being a dick to port beggars but criticise these guys for doing it. I guess which side the port beggars are on makes all the difference...

The same goes for the reverse if you see your usual suspect.

lmao, when even developers start getting annoyed by the switch port begging... good on them for being straight forward.

Pretty much. I don't see why this is a thread.



Even though I not only agree that the dev team is justified in their response fully support . 

Even though it is clear to me that they meant no ill will towards Nintendo or Nintendo fans.

Even though I have a really good guess as to why they are not porting it (at the very least, right now (UE3)).

 

What I don't understand certain people "calling out hypocrisy" in this thread, when they are the very same people in the other thread being hypocrites by their own standard. Its absolutely ridiculous.

Kamiya should be nicer but at least it's not the companies account. I follow him and most the questions they ask him are about Capcom and since he has not worked there in 12 years he of course has no knowledge or say so in Capcom developed games. Not saying he is justified in saying "ask your mom" but people could do a simple google search to see he has no say so or knowledge on Resident Evil 2 remake or an Okami sequel. I also don't believe in 6 years we will have topics on why Hat in Time is not on Switch but here in 2018 we still have long topics about Bayonetta 2 being funded by Nintendo. People just can't seem to grasp Nintendo can pay for development on a 3rd party IP.  After 6 years I might say "Ask your mom" as well lol..I kid I kid.



I like this dev's approach. Switch port begging has gotten pretty embarrassing.

Why? Seriously, why? Why turn down a chance to sell to more people who are clearly interested, myself included?

Its a bit weird, but maybe they had some trouble with Nintendo about the game. The game is on PS4, XB1 and PC if you have any of those though.

Perhaps but other indie devs seemed to have no issue releasing their game on Switch.

I guess they have enough money from the streams of income they already have, it's their choice at the end of the day, but it does make you wonder what their finance department is like when you see so many indie devs coming out with stories like "X game sold more on Switch than other platforms combined" does seem like this would be another candidate for that sort of story again.... until this point.

Still though as others said, there is plenty of options to buy on the Switch that aren't this game so doesn't really hurt the system and the devs happy to not have those sales... I guess it's either lose/lose or win/win whichever way you want to look at it lol.

Maybe Gears for Breakfast don't have the resources to release on Switch? I dunno, I'd like an explanation if possible.

Just shows Switch owners are ready and willing to buy games. That's not a bad problem to have: any business owner would be happy to hear they're getting nagged by hordes of people who want to give them money.



Were the tweets removed?



No big deal. It's the same that Kamiya said about Bayonetta 3 not coming for the PS4/X1.


Or whatever it was. I don't remember much of last week.

I can't even remember if it was last week when he said it

Do you think these are the same people? You're aware that there are a lot of people, all with differing opnions about everything, are you?
