| sc94597 said: They only make/publish niche games to sell hardware, was what I was saying. Why would Nintendo invest in Fatal Frame, Bayonetta etc - when they can invest in vastly more profitable games? The answer is: to diversify their library, and sell hardware so that their big series can sell to more people as well. Games like Fatal Frame and Bayonetta will lose them money unless they have another purpose besides the revenue they make exceeding the costs to make them. They invest in these games because they know that there might be future benefits for doing so. This isn't excessively cynical at all. It's the reality of the matter. |
So what? These are Non-Nintendo IPs. If they don't pick them up somebody else will. I mean there are still 2 other platform holders desperate to sell their hardware. And if no one picks them up they're obviously not worth it. The absence of these niche IPs will not be noticeable. Or do you miss the thousands of other dormant niche IPs that Nintendo hasn't been picked up yet?
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
