Mario? Screw that guy. I’d tip for Luigi, though.
is that 25% on top of tariff or msrp?
I really don’t understand the anti Nintendo thing. They want money? So do all game companies. They sue people pirating? So do the others. They are all corporations, none are your friends. The weirdest thing is the steam people who are convinced that THEIR corporation and THEIR billionaire Gabe is the only good billionaire on earth. He’s not.
Blasphemy!Yeah. Valve’s 30% cut is greed. So is their (alleged) anticompetitive behavior of forcing price parity with other stores (aka devs can’t price things cheaper than Steam elsewhere).
I mean, I like their store. I like most of their behavior, but I am also waiting for the hammer to drop, and everyone should.
It’s the way they go after fan projects like rom hacks, the way they continuously rerelease 30 year old gameswith minor tweaks for full price, their obsession with destroying emulators, the fact that all of their IP is exclusive to their console, their games rarely go on sale, and their prices are far too high considering their hardware is like 3 generations behind the curve.
It’s their level of aggression towards fan projects that sets them apart I think.
They been selling a TON of overpriced garbage as of late
I will keep giving money to companies that select good policies and praxis. It is alarming that it only happens when companies are young and that they turn into multi national demonic entities when they grow past a certain level for some reason, but at that point we can only sigh and but a rubber band around the growth and start cutting off the oxygen supply so we can saw it off

By evil company standards that’s pretty benign
Like Hershey uses slave labor, Chiquita helped transport weapons for paramilitary groups, nestle well we have all heard about what nestle does.
Just about everything you listed that they do can be summed up as they vehemently protect their IP that while they are overkill they just aren’t even close to other video game companies like blizzard who protect sexual harassers

Thje problem is more that they tend to get WAY MORE hate for way less stuff.
Like, blizzard literally had a woman commit suicide because she thought she was going to be used as a company sex slave. Yet Nintendo gets more shit than blizzard does, because Nintendo doesn’t want you pirating their games.
Like, bruh, priorities. I know it’s not a zero sum game, but god damn.

also literally wrote proton
It’s getting weird how often I find myself saying this… But Valve mostly took already existing software and built a wrapper around it, integrated into their platform. I love what they did, but the credit for literally writing it goes to all the people who spent years building wine and related software.
deleted by creator
I’m pretty sure it is a wrapper in the way it looks up game-specific information to apply specific tweaks to how the game is ran and how the prefix is set up… But it is also true that it does also include a modified version of wine, so the terminology is difficult to pin down.
That said, I don’t mean it in a disingenuous way, at least I don’t think it is such. I do believe valve is often attributed excessive credit for proton’s creation, but I don’t think they did anything wrong, much less “just nab it”. Open-source is open-source, and I’d imagine people who put work towards making wine viable are happy that Valve brought it to the mainstream.
The force streamers and people who cover Nintendo to pay them, because word of mouth isn’t enough. They need money.
They have and continue to directly or aid in the effort to patten basic game mechanics.
They refuse to participate in cross play functionality often.
They kill fan projects because fuck you for liking our games and bringing more attention to them I guess.
They lock games away forever, not rereleasing and killing mods aggressively. Actively killing gaming history.
A company doesn’t have to be my friend. But when they are actively attacking people who express love for their product you eventually stop loving the product.
I choose not to play
Custom tip amount.
-$79.99
At that price, my tip is zero.
My tip is -$20
Piracy is free
It is, but someone has to bear the cost of purchasing and cracking it
I pirated totk and it resulted in me buying a switch.
It was a full time job to play it emulated, i barely have time to play it normally.
It kept crashing and shit was bug ridden.
What are you on about? I’m playing it just fine on my potato quality PC.
Just because you have a different experience, doesn’t mean someone who’s struggled with it running is wrong.
So fuck off and go bother someone else because it ran like a damn nightmare and i bought a switch because it sucked ass as it crashed every 10 minutes.
If we can find a way to pirate these…
Necessity is the mother of invention
We will
Give it some time, we will.

The sad thing is: This would work.
lol but seriously this is the first time I’m not buying a Nintendo console on launch in a long time. Their prices here in Canada were already absurd but this gen is just unreal.
I have a 500 dollar GameStop gift card I was planning on putting towards this thing, but these prices are ridiculous. I’ll just get my wife a mug instead.
Could be worse, you could be here in the US and get to pay an idiot fascist tax on top of it!
When Mario Galaxy dropped as the Wii’s launch title in 2007, it cost $50. Adjust for inflation, and that comes out to $77 in 2025. Why tf are people clutching their pearls over the price? Why are people acting like Covid and inflation didn’t happen? Nintendo is staying right in that same price range it always has. The bitching and whining needs to stop.
Now adjust our salaries to inflation please because they’re lagging behind.
This is up to you, to be frank. You have to apply to jobs, negotiate and haggle. Your current employer will never give you a raise unless you have an offer from somewhere else, and even then they often won’t out of some weird principle. You gotta do a bit of job hopping
Wages have stayed stagnant during that time, so it might not have gotten much more expensive in comparison to other stuff, it has gotten more expensive compared to what we have left over after paying for necessities.
Why are all you poors mad that things you could afford before have increased their prices to match inflation while your wages haven’t?
How I’m reading your comment, btw
So tired of seeing the same “inflation!!” BS trotted out, as if buying power has remained the same. It hasn’t, at all.
I agree with your point, but not a fan of the inflammatory delivery.
for that price the switch 2 should be included
Technically, there’s a bundle that includes the game for $50.
15%? 20% is the new minimum suggested tip nowadays
0% is gaining favor
Amazing. They actually made the PS5 Pro look like a good deal.
You know this isn’t real right?
The 80$ MSRP for the game is real though
The 15 is typically an 18.
