I’m not sure that the mentality “I’ll only play it if it gets taken away from me by the end of the month.” should form the basis of you getting a subscription service or playing that game.

They’re still charging people to play an unspecified collection of old games...

The per/person count isn’t exactly true. Sure, some of that 230k/month will be wages. But they also have to pay other bills... Office space, electricity, licences for all the software they use and so on.

More to do with persistence than skill. They’ve gotten to the point where card play has been refined down so you can plug the numbers into a program to choose for you.

So he essentially spent 6 weeks grinding and refining a single deck.

Therein lies the problem. If they had a functional game you could market it and develop from there. But by many accounts the game is still fully in alpha. It is incomplete by most ways you can measure it.

which stands at $528,000 in the bank with monthly expenses of around $230,000. That seems rather low, considering that the game managed to raise $11,614,524 since the initial crowdfunding drive in 2013,

I mean, they’re offering something different compared to the other online subscription packages - but why anyone would want to pay $20 a year or $4 a month to play a bunch of old titles I have no idea.

You’d imagine that the people that have interest in such games likely already HAVE them. Nintendo really needs to step…

Always the best way to get people to use your online service to play games - charge money for it out of the gate without anything in exchange except the ability to play games online and some irrelevant junk.

Do note that regardless of that aspect. Some people still just want to see others fail regardless. And will attempt to achieve that.

So the games industry is following the pharmaceutical industry.

Lets get this straight... Because of a serious situation involving **REAL** weapons. We should take a ban on props seriously instead of joking about it.

As indicated by the information provided in this article.

With regards to pirated games? Perhaps. With regards to modified systems and CFW? If local law entitles you to modify your systems then Nintendo is in the wrong here.

Legally speaking? They **ARE** entitled to modify their systems in many countries.

Do you seriously think that that has anything to do with it?

Which is not worth anything in the current context.

Hey, if you really want we can take things fully out of context just like with the “Zwarte Piet” example. Disregarding context or history and apply popularized opinion.

I think that if you move to a country. The least you can do is learn the language rather than just clump with people who speak your own language.

As with everything. Perception of reality and actual reality rarely align.
