I think people are genuinely looking for a console that doesn’t have all the fuckery of Playstation, but with a stronger brand for itself than Xbox, with the simplicity of Nintendo hardware, that costs under $699.

If there was any doubt that Western society only functions to serve the oil overlords…

Consolidation definitely isn’t good, however the alternative is that Ubisoft goes out of business, and while I don’t want hard working people to lose their jobs, the leadership and game design philosophy at Ubisoft will be their undoing regardless. Tencent is really good at putting out games that are live service AIDS, and Ubisoft wishes they were that successful at it.

We’re never getting Beyond Good and Evil 2…

What doesn’t make sense though is why now all of a sudden? They were content to buy Nintendo games up until yesterday, but the Ryujinx takedown, which was amicably agreed upon between Nintendo and the devs, that was the final straw? This just screams disingenuous en vogue Nintendo bashing to me.

People refuse to buy Nestle products because Nestle is a wildly unethical company and its behavior directly affects which products are available to purchase. Nintendo protecting their IP, while sucking for pirates, doesn’t violate any known ethical principle. Apples and oranges.

I would expect the people that bought a physical copy but pirated it anyway to be the minority, but we’ll never know.

So what you’re saying is not only did they not buy a game, they also didn’t buy the system the game was developed for. So it definitely hurt Nintendo’s bottom line.

You’re entitled to your opinion, but it objectively is not a 7/10.

You were buying Switch games but because of something unrelated to your gaming and purchasing habits, you’re going to stop your unrelated behavior?

That’s a perk of emulation, but it isn’t the reason why someone would pirate over purchasing it. People just want free shit, but they have a weird mental block in admitting it.

I agree with you, but Nintendo’s sales are definitely hurt meaningfully by piracy. Over a million people downloaded TOTK when it leaked.

It’s likely that most episodes aired before the dawn of home video recording (early 80s) are completely lost media. NBC and other networks weren’t in the habit of archiving tape-to-air media.

Not to mention TSMC told Sammy a couple days ago that his business isn’t worth $7T spent on scaling up their operations. Major companies do not see the value in AI. It’s a flash in the pan technology and solves few if any problems.

Well, that’s 2 of the biggest companies on Earth, TSMC and Apple, within a week to tell Sam A to kick rocks.

Literally nobody was complaining about how Aloy looked in the remaster. 1 incel complained about her “beard” from the tech demos for the PS5 version of FW, but there’s been zero noise about how she looks in this re-release. People were complaining that it didn’t need a remaster, considering more people play PS4 than PS5 and the PS4 version still looks fantastic.

This is astroturfing by Sony/Guerilla.

I can’t be the only one that was looking at buying a 14900K, saw the Intel news, and then started pricing out an AMD build.

In a civilized society, a product that is defective would be replaced with a working model or refunded. I feel like it’s way too “geeky” a topic for most people to care. Like, try to imagine how many laptops and pre-fabs, not to mention OEMs, that got moved in the 13th and 14th gens of CPUs. Yeah, we know we fucked up and fried your CPU, rendering it nowhere near the performance we promised it would be at. Fuck you anyway.

While I agree, Nintendo as a corporate entity sucks major balls, “nothing of value in at least a decade” is patently false.

• One of the best selling consoles of all time that also signalled a hardware paradigm shift to popularize hybrid consoles/handhelds
• BOTW
• TOTK
• Mario Odyssey
• Metroid Dread
• Smash Ultimate
• Fire Emblem
• Xenoblade

Like, yuzu wouldn’t have been such a smash hit if Nintendo was releasing value-less titles.
