| potato_hamster said: On what grounds do you believe the conversion of this USB-C to HDMI signal is any bit more complicated for Nintendo unless they intentionally obfuscated the video output to make it proprietary and force its userbase to buy their overpriced docks. They're doing a similar thing to what apple does with it's "Apple certified" USB cables that arbitrarily lock out any cable where the company hasn't paid Apple a licensing fee. It's anti-consumer, nickel and diming bullshit, and if anything makes Nintendo appear worse, not better. Yet, somehow this makes it justified in your eyes? |
No, it's pro-consumer. If you think the dock is worth $90, buy. If you think it isn't, sell. Simple.
If at some point you decided to sell your dock, would you rather they cost $20 or $90 new?
Cheap 3rd party knockoffs are unreliable anyway and there's no way they'd have Nintendo's build quality/testing. It would only spoil your experience in the long run.
