| RolStoppable said: Nintendo paying off big third party publishers would only make Nintendo's bottom line worse than it currently is. Nevermind the implications for the future, because once Nintendo starts with paying off third parties for ports, there will be no going back. If Nintendo were really handling third party relationships so badly as it is usually portrayed, then third parties should have the dignity to not go in front of a camera to praise an upcoming Nintendo console they do not plan to support or announce games that will never go into production. If third parties truly aren't happy, then they shouldn't pretend that they are. After all, you can't save a problem if you act like there is none. The reality is that there isn't much of a problem from Nintendo's side, because indie developers have repeatedly gone on record to say that Nintendo has been forthcoming. The actual problem is that the big third party publishers feel entitled to get paid off by Nintendo. Consider that third party games do sell on the 3DS as well as previous Nintendo handhelds. It's the same console manufacturer who acts the same way for both their home consoles and handhelds in any given generation, so common sense suggests that third parties are the ones that make the difference. |
THIS IS THE TRUTH!!
TL'DR If third parties aren't satusfied, why would they lead Nintendo (and fans) into a false sense of security by saying they are? EA is the biggest culprit of this with the "unprecedented partnership" BS. A couple of people did the same thing on the 3DS. If there is a problem, and apparently there was with the Wii U, then 3rd parties need to be upfront about this.
