It doesn't have to be. Look, Splatoon 2 looks really cool. We all want to play that online. However, Nintendo did say the online subscription is coming in fall, and it'll have a free trial before that. Since Splatoon 2 comes out in summer, everyone will have a chance to play that online for at least a while... then when we've already had that experience and the paywall comes, well, we just don't pay it. And not only do we not pay it, but we spam Nintendo's social media accounts with comments about it. I mean, it can work. If only like 2% of Switch owners subscribe, Nintendo's going to have second thoughts. Look at the backlash the Xbox One had when it was announced - it prompted Microsoft to make changes to it. If there is any time when we can do something about it, that time is now. Now I won't be able to be part of that since I won't actually own a Switch so soon... but I really hope the people stick together and do something about it. Nintendo is already charging a considerable price for the console and downright abusive prices for everything else related to it. We shouldn't be forced to pay even more to properly play the games we'll be paying to have. |
Sorry man, I'm definitely not gonna be able to do that, and going by Xbox and Playstation, I doubt enough people will. The best we can hope for is the subscription fee to be cheap.
