Nobody is pointing a gun at you to spend the money on those subs, so is just your decision. If you don't like it, don't support it with your wallet, and before you say there's really no other option, there's always one. And people in the end, spend their money in these things. The same can be said about MTX's, a lot of people shit on these things but the reality is that most people are OK with it. In my case, i've never put any € in any MTX ever, so....you can perfectly ignore it if you want to.

And yes, like i said, Nintendo will do the same the moment they can.

Now when we criticize Nintendo for selling their HW for profit unlike PS4 and X1 during the first half of their life, then the answer would be "Nintendo knows how to manage their money better", same for games that cost 1/10 of the ones developed by Sony and MS but sell for the same price and more quantity.

This same type of defense was done against DLC and other stuff until of course Nintendo started doing it.

You talked about 3 different things in your post and managed to be completely wrong on all of them. First of all, the most recent sony console (the ps4) was suposedly sold at a profit since launch. But this doesn't matter in the slightest because there's nothing to criticize about a business deciding on selling their product at a loss, profit or breaking even. I think I also remember seeing a comment from you when I lurked the foruns, claiming that nintendo had a $50 profit per switch at launch. A ridiculous statement without any evidence of course.

You will not find a single nintendo game costing 10% of similarly sized games from sony and MS and I find it laughable that you are trashtalking such a positive thing for nintendo. The industry has a standard $60 price for most games at launch. Nintendo develops their games with careful budgeting and extreme quality, so they sell and profit a lot without colossal development and marketing budgets. Only praise is deserved for that.

Nintendo started doing dlc, period. Not using dlc to screw consumers with crap like major day one dlc that's already on disc.
