Why is the Switch still not getting big games from 3rd parties? October edition

Because third parties are biased against Nintendo. When you look through the generations and see that Nintendo can never please third parties no matter what they do while Sony and Microsoft can mess up all they want and still get the games, then it's time to accept that there's a double standard at work.

It's the price that Nintendo is paying for altering the course of history, effectively making consoles here to stay with a royalty model while the various home computers bit the dust. Of course this altered history only concerns North America and Europe, but not Japan. So the third party support for Switch from Japan has improved because of hardware sales.

If somebody thinks this is a conspiracy theory, they should read up on the history of Electronic Arts and the Sega Genesis. EA didn't like that Nintendo changed the gaming market into something very different than EA had envisioned, but that didn't mean that they would reject consoles altogether. Trip Hawkins saw Sega and its Genesis as an opportunity to beat Nintendo, essentially "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." - That's something that persists to this day, because Nintendo doesn't fall in line with the vision of those AAA third party publishers who want everything to be games as a service, filled with microtransactions and other shenanigans. Switch in general represents the opposite of the ideals of AAA publishers, so supporting it would mean to stifle their vision of what gaming should turn into. The only big Western publisher who is bringing a good number of its games to Switch is Bethesda who just so happens to be the one publisher who didn't forecast the death of single-player games.

Big companies are biased against Nintendo. They're jealous of their success.

Can you elaborate more on this theory? Any articles or anything where I could find out more about it?
