Yes I know that you meant, but the same message still is pushed across which is why I bolded meant to meaningfully emphasize rather than be a jerk about being literal. You know what I mean? Yes Nintendo wants there game to be played a certain way. Its designed that way, but at a certain point you can't expect people to do things the way as intended. The bulk of what I said in the 2nd paragraph is examples of what's intended vs personal choice. That paying taxes example isn't a good one. Taxes are an obligation that is severely punishable by the authority (government) if not done with incarceration. On the other hand, you can choose to greif and the complain, but the person playing as the authority (devs) intended is punished instead by your and other players' choice to greif. There's a more accurate real world example, but I never used it so far because it comes off as an extreme example and malignant in intent. I'm trying to make you understand in situations such as this, freedom to choose to play this way isn't on Nintendo or Namco. Its on personal choice. No matter which way I say it though, it doesn't seem to be clearly communicated. I hope someone can or you come to understand it, but this isn't something I can seem to do much to my dissapointment |
Oh, well then I strongly disagree with that. It's their game, their system, hence they are in full control, our freedom is at their mercy. They have the power to ban literally all our Wii Us from the internet right now if they wanted. How we play is pretty much entirely on Nintendo, always has been, certainly in terms of what they don't want us doing. I was once able to drive backwards in Mario Kart, but now I can't do that without getting dropped. I would splat people with the edge of my roller frequently in Splatoon, but long gone are those days. I used to be able to backair PacMan's Fire Hydrant to send it flying, but now I can't anymore. Don't even get me started on Miiverse! With Nintendo making sure things are done their way as intended everywhere else, there's no excuse to not do so here, especially with something as important as the basic online mode.
EDIT: Oh and in case there's any doubt that I don't always side with the do nothings.
