I'm sure Nintendo views all types of software including the tech demos as a way to sale hardware. Doesn't seem like they are interested in bundling software for free though for whatever reason. What I find interesting is how we try to tell other businesses to do something based off what we see from others while ignoring these businesses all do things differently. There are things I wish both Sony and Nintendo would do because I see the other doing it. 

Even Arlo is saying this, that standard practices in the industry aren't something Nintendo should just ignore because... they are Nintendo.

"It is industry standard, that when you release a new and definitive edition of a game, you include any and all dlc."  - Arlo

".... and infact, Nintendo has (past tense) been doing this as well. Any wii U port, or delux version on switch(1),  have all gotten the dlc (included). Thats just... kinda what you do, in this industry."  - Arlo

Like the Chat function locked behind a pay wall....
I mean just because Playstation and Xbox don't do that, doesn't mean Nintendo can't right?
These are features Nintendo should have had like 2 generations ago, that the other two don't charge for.

At some point consumers are likely to go "why are you doing this?"

This isn't just the tech demo, being something they charge for (while others don't).
It's Nintendo seems like they want to break the mold, by really charging people as much as they can possible squeeze out of their customer base.

So what exactly are people talking about on the Playstation and Xbox? I mean you have to pay to play games online, so whats the point of just talking through your PS5 or Series X?
