Hey all. Do any of you watch Arlo? I’ve been keeping up with him, well, the days leading up to Switch 1’s launch. Recently though I really have begun to notice a shift in his content… anyone else notice this?

I really started noticing issues when he was making tons of videos discussing how Switch 2 is having a rough Holiday quarter (the quarter which saw over 7mil units ship WW), and recently I feel lkke it’s just been one concern post after another— just the other day, he posted about how worried he is that there may not be another Nintendo Direct for a very long time.

I can’t even watch him anymore. Just hoping this is a weird little phase of his.

I gave up on Arlo years ago for exactly the same reason. Him and Woods HAwker or BeatEmUps Woods. Just 'I love nintendo but I'm going to make a career out of bitching about everything Nintendo does' on repeat. 

There's plenty to criticise Nintendo for. They are really shitty (mostly just exceptionally protective of their IP to a detrimental amount) and bafflingly weird when deciding what to do...but I like their games too much to let that stop me. I learned decades ago that if you try to boycot every shitty company or every shitty person you'll have to go off grid, so might as well take what joy you can and not worry too much about whether your money is going to someone shitty, becuase it literally always is.
