Oh lawdy, this was a good read for a while but it stopped getting interesting once a disgusting anti consumer tactic was mentioned and lawded as being better than a free service.

Seriously marketing can brainwash people real bad that they don't realise it's had an adverse effect on them.

I buy Nintendo games and I'll be blunt, I don't give a care about what they give out for free because it's not something I need desperately in my life, I just buy and play the games I want and that's it, the last thing I want is another company's anti consumer service to replace a free service and lock certain games behind a pyawall, seriously that can fuck right off.

Funny thing was I bought Link between worlds this summer and the game released last Nov, I managed to buy it for half the price brand new and to boot I used research on where I was going to buy a copy meaning I knew exactly where to buy it cheaper than my regular GAME store.

While Nintendo's general pricing method is getting a bit old it certainly doesn't stop me from biding my time with playing other games and finding other areas around Europe to find what I want cheaply, I do the same for almost anything I want and can afford, why buy my Revoltech Evangelion figures from Amazon where they are more expensive (and mostly bootlegged at that) when I could use a Japanese provider who not only delivers to my area but also makes it cheaper to buy, why is common research such an unheard of concept to people that complain?, yes it would be nice if Nintendo lwoered some of their prices but their games are still in demand for some and even then you can find them cheaper in other areas of the world if you took some time out of your life to look.

Yes, Sony is so anti-consumerist, that's why it outsells Nintendo ten to one. You can do all the research you want, you won't find cheap Nintendo games where I live. 

I have never watched a Sony advertisement in my life. I did my research on PS Plus and saw that it provided more content than it costs. Such brainwashing! Such anti-consumerism.

In the mean time Nintendo gets praised for selling 8 year old games for €50. That right there can seriously fuck off!
