You literally are blaming the consumer for complaining about something that they had every reason to expect to be in the game because you think they should have known that it wasn't in the game because if they "did their research", they would have known.
The Gamestop review doesn't mention it. The IGN review doesn't mention it. The Gameinformer review doesn't mention it The Eurogamer review doesn't mention it. But hey, the Destructoid review gives it one sentence.
Yep. it's obviously the consumers fault. Clearly the average switch-owning arcade tennis fan should go into more depth than some of the most popular game review sites around. That makes sense for them to go the extra mile and dig further on the sixth game in the Mario Tennis series, when the other games have the feature, and there was no reason to expect the feature to be missing this time around, you know, unless they went to Destructoid

I'm literally not doing that as literally anyone with eyes and basic reading compression can literally see. I'm blaming the consumer for buying the game without being fully informed. The complaints about the game are obviously Nintendo's fault as I've already said, and it's even good that people are complaining for helping inform others. Those are bad reviews then, but what, you saw that your expectations weren't mentioned by a few sources, so you just assumed they were met? Lesson learned I hope. Don't fret though, I had to learn the hard way as well as I imagine most do. |
You're still not getting it. Your definition of "fully informed" requires way more research than is reasonable to expect an average consumer to do. If going to some of the largest gaming review sites on the planet, reading multiple reviews, reading Nintendos own website, going to the store and reading promotional material, as well as the game box itself, and the fact that an "extended" match is a three game, two set match doesn't come from anywhere? You can't expect them to know about that ahread of time, because that's way more than the average consumer will do.
