I think threads like these are proof enough that some people will buy the amiibo for the content. If Nintendo or Yacht Club thought they would make more money selling the content separately, they wouldn't need coercing.

You have no authority. If they are making money in the free market then your "demands" fall on deaf ears. Case in point: you demanding this, right now, and them not yielding to your demands, nor making any note of them, nor in all likelihood hearing them at all.

Ubisoft will make billions of dollars releasing their broken game so I'm not sure what your point is. In fact I think you've supported my point.

The game is also better with the Battletoads boss level, and it's absolute bullshit that the only way to have that is by paying $400 for an Xbox One, right? The content is tied to the amiibo.


Amiibo have been out for less than a year. I have little doubt that Nintendo will see the missed potencial of a cheaper alternative, and I'm 100% sure they've seen the countless articles about how much of a paywall they are. I'm sure we will see that alternative in the next few years, and it will be exacly because people like me complained. I never said that no one buys Amiibo for the content. I said most don't, because most don't.

I'm also 100% sure that the next AssCreed won't be a broken mess, just like the next Battlefield wasn't a broken mess, because puslishers don't make a ton of money on releasing broken games. Unity lost Ubisoft millions. Battlefield lost EA millions. MCC lost Microsoft a shit ton of money. Releasing broken games is absolutely not an intelligent financial decision. So yes, I have the ultimate and utmost authority as a consumer, and so do you.

Let's not mix exclusive first party content with Abiibo content. It's not the same thing at all.
