Who cares about pay to play online.

I have been gaming for 20 years now and have yet to pay for anything online related that ws not an MMO. Never paid for Live, PSN, ect. I doubt I'll pay for this Nintendo one.

I don't play FPS, which constitute 90% of online games. And multiplayer games I tend to enjoy with people in the room versus online, so ain't too tempted to pay. We'll see. Is Mario Kart and Smash enough to make me want to pay online? Doubtful, or at least for long.

I'm mostly an offline single player gamer, or else party gamer. Neither requires internet.

I'm actually more excited for gaming than ever since last night. Been wanting so long for handheld and home to clash. The Wii U was not what I wanted. This looks to be. Kind of makes me think of the typical trend in electronics. Someone does something first and it sucks, and someone else comes out with a better version later. Like look at Apple. They rarely ever come out with things first, but many times people only remember them for "inventing" it, because they just made it "work". Feels like that is what happened here with Switch. Funny thing though is, Nintendo seems to be in it's own market. They sort of come out with it first with Wii U, and finally get it right with Switch. (you could argue the Shield, but that just again proves my point. It didn't click)

Probably the people playing Splatoon 2. Also Mario Kart Deluxe. Both very popular online.

Yeah, considering how popular these games are and how many threads we had about Splatoon's multiplayer, I suspect it affects quie a few people, if not millions.
