So if I reply to the rest of the post (I'm not sure what more replying there is to do, I feel I've already expressed my opinion and you have yours), you will answer my "irrelevant" question?

And I think it's very relevant. If it is okay for Splatoon, then it should naturally be okay for other games, and I don't think you mean that you would like to see the next Mario Kart and the next Smash Bros to launch this way. Now, if you'd answer that question, I'd know what you think and wouldn't have to assume here. Likewise, if it isn't okay for the next Mario Kart and the next Smash Bros. why does Splatoon get an exemption? New IP? Meaning that you disagree with this business practice except for with new IPs?

Not trying to put words in your mouth, but those are some of the implications of either answer, which is 100% relevant to the topic of this thread, which is why I asked. I can't force you to answer the question, but you can hardly claim it's "irrelevant".

 

This thread is about Splatoon, not other games, hence irrelevant. I had to say this a lot before Splatoon released as people loved to bring up DLC from other games, all of which were clearly handled very differently. The question can't be answered without knowing exactly how Nintendo would go about it anyway.

 

This thread is about wether the way Splatoon was released. Thus it's about the concept of this release, and not only the specific title in mention. That means it's relevant to find out whether we think this concept is okay for other games, and not only Splatoon, and if it's only okay for Splatoon, why?

I see nothing in your OP that suggests it's only about Splatoon. There's a lot in your OP that suggests it's about the concept of Splatoon's release though, hence 100% relevant.
