Some people just do I guess. As you've said there's been equally as negative reponses as positive. For some it's just easier to see the side they want to see rather than the full picture

If you went to work one day, and your boss asked if you wanted to be paid significantly less to start working on another project, you'd probably say no. It's the same here, but worse. Because if Joe and others on YouTube start signaling that this is an acceptable thing to do, then other publishers will start doing it. And while some may be naive enough to believe Nintendo will only use their new-found powers for good, we all know other publishers would exploit it. |
and it's likely that the people who are popular now won't be in 10 to 20 years, so they understandably want to maximize their income while they are lucky enough to be popular - thousends of youtube video authors aren't at that stage and are just scraping by with their earnings
it's not a job you can rely on for 40+ years

These are the same exact topics he spoke about in the video IN THE THREAD ABOUT THE VIDEO. Plus i'll call you out and say the above is bull. They price lower (Yes that's true) but they hardly ever drop in price. Most titles from any other company hit $20 in 6 months to a year but look around and you'll see Wind Waker HD (year and a half ago) at full price. |
Fair enough, I assumed this thread was solely about the Youtube policy
Anyways, I've seen this complaint a number of times and every time I find it hilarious. I see no reason to criticize Nintendo because they make and sell games with legs. Its just supply and demand curves. Is it honestly "gouging" when you are buying the game for the price that it was designed to be sold at? How can anyone see that as anything other than a petty complaint? The fact that Nintendo releases some games at 40$ just compounds this, as they sell the game at the price they believe the game to be worth.

A better analogy is that you are collaborating with another company (at your work) and you can potentially net more income because let's say you get a commission based on the company's revenue, but then the other company puts stipulations on the deal and you cannot gain as much revenue as you wished due to said stipulations. Even then, it isn't equivalent.
Those who quoted me here single handedly proves Angry Joe's point of view. On the other hand others are doing it right. Sony just partnered with "Vattividya" to promote. Well. If Nintendo wants to be conservative then it will be another lesson like Wii U.

Isn't something like that just percieved value, for example if something is selling at $50 or $399 why lower it? I'm sorry, but I find that argument not the strongest to take a knack off them for greed. Nintendo isn't other video game companies most of there sales happen over time, not the first couple of weeks. So it understandable why nintendo has valued associated with their IPs, while others don't.
I'm not saying they aren't a greedy corporation, (They are), (So is every company).

Nintendo has also worked with people like Smosh to promote games like Smash Bros....

What ages do you think Sony/MS gamers are? What do you think the M/F ratio is for their online stores? But that isn't even the point. The tone and particularly this bit are the trolling portions, "with extremely notalgia bias toward nintendo.....right?"

Better, you have the choice to collaborate with several companies with similar arrangements, but one offers significantly less revenue.
I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.
