| BraLoD said: They have been greed and making anti consumer choices ever since they started. They started the exclusive agreement with restriction to the companies to freely produce games they developed to NES to other systems for a long time. They started the milking of games as soon as they had their second system to do it. They tried to make Sony's work their own and thank goodness Sony got away and proved someone could offer us a lot more. Nintendo started locking game content behind physical toys, they undership their products on purpose to be able to keep them at a higher price, they want to take down people who love their games and want to make money with their work on the internet (youtube), they want you to buy cardboard for the price of an AAA game just to profit big so you can easily break it and have to buy more, they charge you ridiculous high for a tiny controller that needs to be used on par to be decent, or for a HDMI+USB connection because it's on a "dock". This recent controversy is nothing really new. Nintendo has always been that way, all they want is more and more of your money, and that's on you. But they also have a good bunch of great games here and there. |
Some of these are fair. But most of it is false and complete bullshit.
* They do not under-ship products on purpose just to keep them at higher prices. It's already proven that artificial scarcity is bullshit.
* Amiibo is also a tool, its up to developers on how they want to use it. Nintendo also hasn't done much bad uses of amiibo on Switch at all recently.
*Also you have the Sony fallout all wrong. It was Sony who wanted to control what goes on the SNES CD, and Nintendo refused. The deal was shady on both sides, and Sony was not an innocent victim.
* Labo's actually well built, as very few people reported breaking. Plus you don't need to buy more if it does break, just grab some tape. And for what you're getting, $70 is a fair price
* Same with the Joy-Con arguably. 2 advanced controllers you can use with another player isn't terrible for $80, regardless of what you think of its size.
Most of what you said is complete nonsense.
