Ubisoft guys: "hey boss how do we sabotage the already sabotaged WatchDogs game on WiiU even more?"
Ubisoft Boss: "tweet it wont get DLC. But do so before it launches on WiiU! Should be sufficient"
Ubisoft guys: "très magnifique!"
| Dunban67 said: As a Wii U owner I am happy to have the opportunitty to buy a high profile ,3rd party game - I don t understand why so many Nintendo fans denounce the game like previous ,3rd party games then complain about it being delayed and decide to Boycott the game that you had already announced you would not buy, Then get upset that DLC may not be released for this same game. Step 1: 3rd party announces game for Wii u. - Denounce game as inferior to 1st party software and announce you will not be purchasing said 3rd party release Step 2: game release is delayed- Announce Boycott of game you were not going to purchase anyway Step 3: DLC may not come to said game that no one was going to buy and further boycotted Step 4: Boycott developer that has announced they will not be supporting the Wii u platform due to poor sales Step 5: call developer stupid for not throwing good money after bad |
You got it wrong. It is like this
Step 1: 3rd party announces WiiU game. - Based on prior events and how games ended up ...Userbase will threat to boycott the game when it again will be not taking advantage of the hardware its running on e.g having 25fps etc. Publicaly announce to not buy the game when it really will be subpar to remind the dev/pulisher "this is not how you should treat us!"
Step 2: game release is delayed which results in customer feeling like a second class citizen AGAIN! and whose anticipation for the game just got killed. Also shows that dev/publisher really does not give a fuck about that specific userbase. - Tell dev/publisher how delaying it will result in bad sales and that this will (again based on prior experience) probably result in "Games dont sell on Nintendo hardware".
Also highlight how dev/publisher has double standards by saying "We cant release Rayman legends on WiiU and then 1 year later on PS360 because noone would buy it. They will think its an old game so we also delay the finished Wiiu version" but when the delayed version is a Nintendo version it suddenly is okay? Finally decide to not buy the game.
Step 3: Game content will be missing only for that one version. Again dev/publisher sending a big FUCK YOU to the Nintendo userbase. People just reminding others that they wont buy the game NOT just because of step 3 but because of all steps combined and pointing out how step 3 is not really helping to fix the problem.
Step 4: Publisher/dev who constantly says FUCK YOU and is boycotting the system by offering sabotabed versions now starts to boycott even more by threatening with absence because people dont buy the sabotaged games. Does so without telling the truth but instead lies and comes up with excuses like "userbase to small" even tho other systems have less users or started at exactly 0.
Step 5: Third party will be absent but still wants to make money with crap shovelware. Turns the userbase into a "shovelware userbase" on purpose and just offers crap and then wonders why people hesitate in buying their games,
Step 6: Third party will come back years later after neglecting the userbase for way to long and after offering just shovelware. Brings out 1 or 2 good games probably still subpar but still semi-acceptable (not awesome!) finds out userbase is extremely hesitant because
A) they got used to not having your games so they dont really need them
B) they are irritated because the last games you brouight to the system were crap shovelware games. So there is no guarantee the games will be any good
C) your IP could not establish because you were absent. (so guaranteed size of target group is obviously smaller by default!)
Third party complains that the Nintendo userbase does not buy third party games compared to other systems (ignoring A,B and C)
Step 7: Third party punishes Nintendo userbase with even crappier ports with less effort put into them with crappier performance.
(REPEAT!)
