So your evidence is me telling a person having a mental crash out and making a childish rant due to overexposure to the internet to get off is your "proof" that I voted Republican? Weak shit. My man, I'm as queer as the day is long and have voted blue for longer than the first time your mommy congratulated you for not shitting your pants at the age of 12. But please, keep acting like a pathetic gatekeeper. It's not like you have anything else going for you in life.

This thread: "Nintendo so stupid. Everyone hates them! They're gonna go bankrupt cuz no ones going to buy their games because of their bad business practices!" Reality: The Switch 2 has one of the strongest console launches, despite increased prices. Their games continue to hold more value than others, with used games selling for near, or even above, their original sale price. Their consoles and games remain the #1 pick for families with kids. You people are delusional. Yes, Nintendo's practices are scummy. No, this does not affect their numbers in any way. They are still wildly successful, and even if they weren't, they have such a huge reserve of capital that they could operate in the red for 20 years and still be fine.

Going back and looking through their posts for more pages that I really wanted to, I don't think they're particularly right-leaning; they seem to flip regularly between well-thought-out posts and comments to open trolling shouting insults. I'm going to just block them, there's really nothing of serious interest to lose there.

I don't see why. I grew up with those systems as well, but Nintendo is actively hostile to videogame culture, so there is no reason for my child to develop a love of Pokémon or Mario. She can be nostalgic over new things.I think you are missing a big part of my meaning. As an original Nintendo child, they were different. If they are so bad now that you and others are not letting them be Nintendo children, then it's sad for me because they aren't who they used to be. If you can't see how is a dad thing that something I loved is now a shitty thing, you are going to have a really tough time in life, given the last few years. As the saying goes never meet your heroes. Innocence lost kinda thing.

At this point you must be getting paid to spout this defeatists nonsense. If not, perhaps you were just born to be a shill. "Your guys opinions don't matter. That is why I am spending my time to tell you this!'No, I just have an adverse reaction to collective stupidity. I know I should try not to let it get to me, but when I see a bunch of people engaging in collective delusions about the state of the world, it upsets me. It's like people choose to believe that just because what they're saying sounds right, or should be right, that it's actually the way things are. This is how we get voter apathy. This is how we get Trump winning because "certainly people won't support him THIS time". I'm just sick of people pretending that anything in our society still follows the old rules of morality and justice, and then getting dismayed and confused when it doesn't. I just wish more people would see the world for what it is, rather than make shit up that sounds good and desperately pretend that's the same as reality.

I think Astro Bot is already better than any 3D Mario. We're missing a really good kart racer though. CTR wasn't it (and certainly not after they stuffed a load of DLC into it weeks after release), and the last one I really enjoyed was Speed Freaks on the PS1...

Never give Nintendo money.

You don't seem to understand the problem. People need to switch to games released under open licensesEnjoy Tux Racer, I guess

My line in the sand was when Nintendo went after GMod hosting of their character models. When they go after emulators, I was upset but at least acknowledge there’s an economic relation there - and there’s some legal basis for protecting their copyright (even if the emulator itself is technically outside their rights). But taking down models used solely for fan creations is just pointlessly mean. No developer I know is upset about people putting up animations of their game protagonists doing silly shit like slipping on banana peels or getting blown up.

I think the point was that there are many people here are „predicting” that Nintendo is somehow going to go bankrupt because of this. People can no longer discern between wishful thinking and the reality, it shows in many areas of life to tbh. No, you won’t wish something into existence just because it’s „right”.
-
You heard it here first, folks: other people disagree with you,so ***you aren't allowed to complain***. Suck it up and buy it as society demands.
-
To add, Nintendo goes after dumb parents and kids. Anyone that knows anything about tech play on better hardware or build PCs. Now with the PC handhelds Nintendo scrammed and raised prices. People will continue to buy them because their kids want them.

Their decisions hurt their brand and people don't like it. We come here to talk about it and here you are chiming in that they are stupid for not liking something objectively that is not likable. I think in a lot of ways this makes you seem stupid yourself. I think your beef is with something that has nothing to do with this. You also seem to ignore many huge brands have come and gone and Nintendo is no different. Pretending they are monolithic or untouchable belays the reality that if enough people refuse to buy their product they will fail. The market self corrects all the time and not everyone shares your view that we should eat shit shut up and enjoy it.

The absurdly naive belief that online opinions actually affect any change in the real world. Buy Nintendo products, or don't; but don't pretend like that has any effect on the company. Boycotts haven't worked in decades.

Last Nintendo product I ever bought was in the SNES era. Didn’t care about the 64 and for the Wii I found CEMU.
