So glad Xenoblade X does not support amiibo

If the game had amiibo support, it would be exactly the same game but with some little extra thing more. Terrible...

Or it would be the same game, minus some feature that they decide to lock behind the Amiibo paywall.
It's naive to think that they always create the DLC as something extra. And when I say they, I mean developers in general.

Some times it's easy to tell when it's extra post initial development DLC, such as in Smash Bros and Mario Kart. Other times, the distiction is not as easy to make.

No, there is nothing even remotely related to any amiibo on Xenoblade X, nothing on the content on the game fits to that purpose, so if they would have included amiibo compatibility they would have to add some extra stuff related with that amiibo, as every other game with amiibo compatibility does. 

Everybody loves to nitpick a lot about amiibo for what they could be instead for what they actually are, but the reality is, besides minor exceptions (Mario party 10 has one little lame mode that people play for 10 minutes locked behind amiibo and animal crossing af needs it, they are included with the game though) amiibo has not supposed any kind of restriction in my gaming experience at all, absolutely 0, I dont even have those exceptions I mentioned, no game uses amiibo in a substantial way at all, but here we fall over and over again in the demagogy of "OH, that kirby skin is locked behind an amiibo?? Nintendo is making me pay 12$ more for having a complete experience", NO, thats a fools argument that the Op of this thread falls constantly in.
