He's not wrong, guys, Nintendo is the most anti-consumer platform holder of the 3. Yeah, they make great games, but they're literally the only company of the 3 who's in violation of any laws, violation of consumer protection laws by not letting customers cancel digital pre-orders and fair use laws by copyright striking videos containing their content that clearly fall under fair use. They've been known to do this hand over fist, too, they're even worse about abusing YouTube copyright strikes than Konami FFS, who regularly flag any videos criticizing them and THEIR shitty antics. There's also the issues with overpricing accessories, locking save backups on the Switch behind a paywall when Sony and MS both offer it for free and charging for a barebones online service without any app features, such as Netflix, Hulu, etc. They also had the recent kerfuffle of shutting down ROM sites for games that can't be played in any legal capacity, anymore (except second-hand via eBay, which they can't make money off of that, either), another petty move. Oh, and locking DLC behind toys. TOYS.

Definitely correct, look at Sony, they even saved many children with their crossplay method.

I don´t want to pay 0,50€ a month for a service that doesn´t even offer dedicated servers (that are always better than p2p) for all online multiplayer games like sony and ms offer.

What?
My math was wrong and its less than 0,37€/month, just no, that is too little.
They should charge 0,40€/month and throw in all of their nes, sness, gc, wii and wii u games with it and then it might be fine and of course make all of their games have dedicated servers (even the ones like splatoon 2, where it might be worse to have dedicated servers instead of p2p). It should be much better service than anyone could even dream of and it should cost less than sony/ms-online service, but not too little.

Also I want to have forced voice chat and trophies for everything that I do in games! Where is that?

Now its a definite no-go and the epitome of anti-consumer! :P

Nintendo is good into making great games out of their franchises, but they're just rubbish at overall technology. They're always 10 years behind. I got over this fact on Wii U generation.



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

There were three ravens sat on a tree / They were as blacke as they might be / The one of them said to his mate, Where shall we our breakfast take?

I am a huge nintendo fan but I have to admit they arent a particularly Customer Focused organization. Once they have your money they dont care. Even when my switch was robbed, i could confirm all my details to them yet i lost all my digital purchases, even when i signed in on my new switch with my details, they refused to help me at all, in fact i was told hard luck on the phone by a rep and when i reported that comment they just ignored me

What? Really? That's frightening.

It's good business. They're basically forced to do all these things. Can't blame them.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Wanna talk anti-consumer Sony banned my IP address for no reason. Then their customer service blamed my internet provider and told me I have to buy a new router to fix the issue instead of just unbanning my IP

Yes I do. That's why I made a thread about it. Odd question.
