Someone explain this shit to me. Why is Kerotan banned from making these types of threads? 

He isn't banned from making any kinds of threads. He merely refrained from making one about Forza 7. The first hyperlink in the original post takes you to his reasoning.

Well, going from 3DS to Switch is going to be a huge hurdle either cost or marketing wise for a lot of those AA 3DS companies. Sure, you can make AA Switch games, but they are going to be a lot more costly than 3DS titles due to going from N64/PS2 era graphics to PS3 era graphics. If those games don't get so much graphical improvement they will be a hard sell at $60, which is a bit of a marketing conundrum. Project Octopath looks like they might have the solution to that issue though if they release a physical version for $40. 

 Since it's unlikely that graphics will become much of a selling point on Switch, companies should easily get by with clean artstyles and therefore keep development costs under control.

Yeah, but at the very least they are going to wind up with budgets along the lines of YS VIII, instead of budgets as slim as Atlus' 3DS offerings. Non-Indie games made with budgets under a million dollars will become a thing of the past. I just hope the AA studios can handle the financial pressure that will bring on. 

Edit: What am I saying? They could just as easily go the same route as Octopath while charging $40, and they'd be fine.
