I think people are far too critical of DLC; it can add a good deal to the game and provides work for otherwise superfluous employees in between major projects. I get just about everything Paradox puts out. Again, though, this isn't a very fair comparison.

This is not some day 1 expansion to the game or a "buy this season pass, but you still won't get access to all the DLC" trick that more than doubles the original cost; in fact, they often do almost nothing at all outside of a select few games like Super Smash Bros. They're fun little figurines that some people like to collect that generally add something trivial to the game, and they can be used across multiple games. They've walked that line between neat, physical toy that adds a small something to multiple games and not making them too important so as to restrict important content about as well as they can.

Seriously, point me to some games that you feel were harmed by the existence of amiibo. I can't think of any.

I'm quite a Nintendo fan, but I do think Splatoon was partially harmed by existence of amiibo.

Other games are fine. Amiibo Ai for Smash turned out to be modified version of existing CPU, and Mario Kart 8 costume feels pretty pointless (Excluding Captain Falcon, that is.)

I did in my last point.  Unlocking a AI companion in Yoshie Wolly World that Nintendo said themselves helped to expand the gameplay.  Again this is besides the point, most day 1 DLCs don't harm the games that much but people still jumped down the publishers throats, which they are not doing to Nintendo.  Defending this really makes my point about the double standard.

They need to own more properties. Which is why EA affects more people. Count them all up. VS WB. More people to piss off. Louder hate voice.

They own DC comics. 

Both of you must have a punishment for stealing my lines. But yeah, DLC and microtransactions and you know which games and what kind of DLC I'm talking about.

Are they rewards? How do you know? Would these features not be in the final game if the tier rewards didnt exist? That is what you need to ask yourself. 

Besides, if that goes through you can already see WB witholding even more fighters behind the pre-order of their next fighter. And you know this will eventually escalate to half the game behind the tier wall etc. Why? Because theres no such a convenient thing as a reward. The content is developed and later ransomed to extort money from you. Be it the pre-order or the day 1 DLC.

Yes they are much worse, the difference to the other is actually that they make better games too. And yes first party games are better they usually take the most advantage of the hardware

very true i remember i got like 10 thumbsdown for saying that its a 250$ vs 400$ comparison. Its a fact that the PS4 is on the same route like the PS2 in terms of sales or more, so it means it will eventually outsell the wii espacially given that the wii was for 8 years on the market while the PS2 was 6 years

The PS2 was discontinued over 12 years after it released. The Wii hasn't even been out for 9 years yet.
