You bias is showing glaringly!

So you just don't want Switch ports to do well, whereas you are fine with games on other systems getting ported from the previous gen to current gen.

And did you really just try to argue the business logic of releasing Mario Kart on the Switch??? hahaha. Let me give you a little insight into business decisions. Business decisions are made to make money. Mario Kart being released on a 13 million sold system that got cut off early to release a new system means that it didn't come anywhere near maximizing the profit potential for Nintendo. Hence, business logic dictates they can quickly port if to their new system and many many more people can play it than played the original. The business logic behind this is the exact same as every port thats ever been done: reach a larger audience for a game that's already been made in order to make more money off that game.

 

I think it's very funny how you care about business logic behind business decisions until the subject is Switch ports.

 

My bias is showing? Hellooooooooooooooo. This is ALA. I am sure if you asked someone three months ago what side of the community I was on ... they would say I was a Nintendo fan. 

The hypocrisy you try to point out is baffling. My point is that CONSOLE HOLDERS should not just port games to try to make their lineup seem better. That includes Sony, with Uncharted Collection and The Last Of Us. That includes Microsoft with ... well I don't have an example for them, but you get my point. It has nothing to do  with Nintendo in particular, they are just the current example right now. 

"And did you really just try to argue the business logic of releasing Mario Kart on the Switch???"

No ... I was LITERALLY doing the opposite, and you should know this because you tried to sarcastically respond to my last line, in which I state : "I think it's very funny how people don't care about the logic behind business decisions until the subject is Switch ports, by the way. "  The point of this comment wasn't that I'm arguing business decisions, the point is people don't care about how logical and profitable a business decision is unless it pertains to Switch ports. People usually act like normal consumers by retaliating against bad business decisions like any normal consumer should. But suddenly when it comes to ports literally meant to distract you from how barren a period of months is ... everyone defends it based on the logic of sales. So we can be consumers and critique bad ideas even if they're profitable .. UNTIL Switch ports are talked about . 

Wow, your reply is hilariously bad and you didn't spend even a second trying to interpret that comment correctly. Next time you reply to a comment that you don't agree with, take a breather, calm down, and think logically about what is being said. 

It speaks volumes that someone asking me to elaborate on an opinion I have ends with a thread of people trying to debate me vigorously just because I have a different opinion. This thread isn't about Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and I haven't done a great offense. Leave the discussion be, seriously. 

Why is GTAV OK but not Mario Kart 8?
