IMO rumors threads need to be quarantined in their own part of the forums. Most rumors threads are flat out wrong. What's worse is that even after a rumor gets debunked, people continue to post in said thread forever. I wish debunked rumor threads were just locked, or moved to purgatory. 

Right, I still have to settle the record for the bolded claim above. potato_hamster is trying to pull a fast one on this. More posts from the same thread are needed.

Here he reacts to the fact that Switch will have online multiplayer at launch. He is in denial and there are no rumors involved at all.

Here's his response when further questioned. A clear bias against Nintendo can be identified.

Why do I doubt that there will be any online functionality? Because it's Nintendo. This is the same company that has sold and continues to sell Nintendo 3DSs without a power cord in the box. This is the same company that made a console that was so expensive to produce that it only recieved one price cut in its five years on the market. This would a very Nintendo thing to do, and should be a surprise to absolutely no one if the Switch launches without the ability to play with each other online.

Here he is employing his usual tactic of backpedaling and accusing others of having poor reading comprehension.

No, I spent "two whole pages" arguing that we don't actually know if there will be online play at launch, not that I thought there wouldn't be. There are two totally different things. but hey, why try and actually pay attention to what I'm saying when you can insult me instead?




Man ohh man. Digging through the salt mines of several year old threads, and doing it poorly... and you think that makes me look bad? Adorable.

Let me reiterate one more time. I could not care less about my reputation with you or anyone else. I don't care if you think I have a "anti-Nintendo bias" because I'm unafraid to point out Nintendo's continued efforts to take advantage of their customer's good will. But let's have a laugh, because you actually couldn't be more wrong.

"
"Users will be able to try out Nintendo Switch online services for free during a trial period after launch. Then it will become a paid service beginning in the fall of 2017. We will provide additional details on this paid service and its features on our home page at a later date." (emphasis mine)

Does that say "at launch"? No? So again, we don't actually know if Online play will be available when this console releases, or if it will be available in the weeks that follow. Sorry, I'm not going to assume "March" means "launch day" like you are."

As it turns out "Nintendo Switch online services" didn't mean "online play". It meant Nintendo's paid online app and subscription service, which, to be clear, did not launch on release. It launched several months after the Switch did. So the quote Rol is saying that I was "shown proof the Switch will have online at launch" actually didn't prove that at all. Zorg was wrong. Rol was wrong. That quote didn't say what they thought it said, and as it turns out my interpretation of the wording of that quote was the correct one. I, along with Zorg, Rol and other's were just wrong about what "Nintendo Switch Online services" actually meant. In fact, it seems that Rol is still wrong about it, and is in denial over it. So let's be clear:

https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/everything-you-need-to-know-nintendo-switch-online/

"It took more than a year after launch, but the Nintendo Switch received its online service in September 2018" 

Well. Would you just look at that.

So as it turns out, the "anti-Nintendo bias" that that actually supports not interpreting Nintendo's PR as favorably as possible as Rol insisted I should have, because whatever bias Rol has leads to interpreting Nintendo PR incorrectly. Perhaps at this point Rol, you should consider that you likely have a severe "pro-Nintendo bias" that clouds your judgement. You're objectively wrong about your interpretation of the conversation that went on in that thread from two years ago.

Let's move on to the next quote, and let me emphasize something

"If this type of shit isn't ready at launch, delay your console and spare yourselves the embarassment! It has to be obvious to you at this point that the launch of the Switch has been rushed. This console isn't ready. This platform definitely isn't ready. But fuck it. Rushing things out the door in the video game industry has never worked out poorly, has it?"


Last I checked, saying "IF this type of shit isn't ready at launch", isn't "a definitive claim", is it, Rol? Since Nintendo did have an online multiplayer ready at launch, it means I didn't think they rushed the console and it was ready. How awful of me.

Rol, all you're proving is that you've have reading comprehension issues for a long, long time. That, or you're so biased you can't even realize that even when you dig up your little document on me and try and discredit me the quotes you pull out actually don't say what they think they do!

But hey, why actually analyze things objectively as you can when you can analyze them the Rolstoppable way? Keep trolling through that document you have on me to argue with strangers on an anonymous internet forum and try and one-up them! It's noble work you're doing Rol!
