Yes, toxic. But you’re part of it so I’m not surprised by the response.

Just because there are more toxic places on the internet doesn’t make the responses the OP got by some of you not toxic.

THREAD BAN (Perm): Flaming/Ignoring Mod Post 

The tone of your post just became the kettle. So whatevs man.

Where am I defending "these companies"? You are reading more into my post than it actually says.

If you wanna know, I am not a fan of these policies at Nintendo. I would even say that no one is. But that's not the topic of this thread.

It says "Online" and below lists the supported features.

You can press on "Learn more" you'll be forwarded to a site where you find more information. On of those is this: 

Online Play

Battle it out or cooperate with players online.

Compatible games include Animal Crossing™: New Horizons, Splatoon™ 2, ARMS™, Mario Kart™ 8 Deluxe, Mario Tennis™ Aces, and Super Smash Bros.™ Ultimate.

this thread is pointless and uninteresting. not sure who you’re trying to engage with this one.

Expected again. Because I point out the poor responses the OP got, and instead of looking at yourself with introspection, and realize the responses he got were unwarranted and unnecessary harsh and made to ridicule him, you try to mirror it back at me... 

The two aren’t even close to being the same. But nice try, I guess.

You argue with people constantly on this board endlessly. You need the last word. You are the kettle. As for this subject. You can have the last word again if you wish.

Everything you said is fair, OP. Nintendo has a lot of BS practices that I ignore because they don't affect me, but that doesn't change the fact that they're BS. I didn't realize that it was standard for digital storefronts to have a return policy these days, though. I remember that everyone was fighting for steam to implement them and they finally did it a few years ago. I kinda thought it was just steam now. Did M$ and Sony follow suit?

Microsofts policy is exactly the same as Steams, Sony allow refunds within 14 days but not if you downloaded the game. UPlay/Sony need to catch up and add either the under 2 hours played, or the within 24 hours of first use policy that the others use. Nintendo are the worst of all and don't even do that.

Good

Steam - Refund any game within 2 weeks of purchase and under 2 hours played.
Origin - Refund any game within 24 hours of first launch or within 2 weeks of purchase.
Epic Game Store - Refund any game within 2 weeks of purchase and under 2 hours played.
Microsoft - Refund any game within 2 weeks of purchase and under 2 hours played.
GOG - full refund up to 30 days after purchasing a product, even if you downloaded, launched, and played it.
Stadia - You can request a refund within 14 days of your purchase if there is less than 2 hours of play time

Bad

Uplay - Refund within 2 weeks if game not accessed.
Sony - Refund within 2 weeks if game not accessed.

Terrible

Nintendo - "We are unable to provide refunds or exchanges for mistaken purchases, and/or if you don't like the game."

Yes I understand the frustration of not getting a refund, Nintendo needs to be better in this department. But it's also quite obvious it doesnt support online play. Click on the game and you see that.

In the end, it's your decision if you want to buy more Nintendo or not, but taking this decision based on your own misunderstanding is a really weird one.

The most ridiculous part is not being able to cancel preorders. That is so out there it's almost comically awful. Nintendo makes great games but when it comes to how they treat consumers they're among the worst for video game companies and the almost complete lack of ability to refund games is a good example of why. Stuff like that makes me not want to buy Nintendo products. Really other than the quality of their games the only area it seems they're not bad to awful in is dlc. Other than the free to play mobile ones they don't fill their games with microtransactions and overall are reasonable enough with how they do dlc so that's nice at least.
