There have been numerous people outside of the Nintendo fanbase who have given Nintendo props for doing DLC right in most cases (not to say their handling of it has always been perfect). What you are seeing is people changing their mind. That is not hypocrisy. Now, if you see someone posting in one thread that Nintendo DLC is always perfect and in another they say that another DLC is terrible out of principle, that would be hypocrisy, however, that mostly occurs on within individuals and not fanbases and that sort of generalization does nothing to help the conversation. |
I'm late to the discussion, but just thought I'd chime in to say I agree with this completely. It seems to be a recurring theme I've noticed that Nintendo fans aren't allowed to enjoy DLC without being labelled as hypocrites, even ones that had no part of previous discussions on it last gen (or even liked it...for the ones that owned other platforms). For those that mocked it without the proper experience and changed their mind...I honestly don't see the issue...I'd like to hope most people are capable of thinking differently when presented with new information. Like you said though, this is something that should really be assessed on a case-by-case basis...rather than just pointing fingers at entire publishers and fanbases. Perhaps that applies to Sakurai as well...but I also think of there's a misquoting going on here, so I'm not going to delve into that.
Regarding Nintendo's own foray into DLC, personally I haven't had an issue with it. Amiibos aren't something I'm interested in, but the rewards unlocked also don't seem like anything I can bring himself to care about missing out on. If we start seeing actually story-content locked behind $10 figurines...then I'll be annoyed. As of right now though? Meh...
