That’s a lot of armchair psycho-analysis on the basis of a single letter from one person’s perspective that may not even contain all of the pertinent information.

“Third party developers could very well make specific, optimised games for the Switch that would look and play great, but just as we saw with the Wii and Wii U, developing specifically for Nintendo platforms is just not worth it for them.”

...the Switch has been out for 4 years and is doing just fine though.

Nintendo…

Yeah it’s a pretty stupid move.

The Patreon they have set-up is more likely to do it, IMO.

Why not?

The devs made an ENTIRE youtube video advertising this thing’s existance.

I promise you Kotaku writing a short thing about it is not going to be the sudden tip-off that Nintendo needs to realize this is a thing that exists.

Nintendo will either C&D it or it won’t, but this article will not even factor into it in…

Except the original commentor *doesn’t* have a valid point.

For it to be valid one must conceed that:

A. The devs aren’t advertising
B. Nintendo would have no way of knowing about this without Kotaku writing about it (see: A)

Both are patently false.

“So When Will You Be Able to Get A PS5?”

I’m guessing right before the PS6 reveal, personally.

In THEORY you would assume that’s how the BoD would act.

In practice, BoDs almost never do.  Far more often they circle the wagons.

Companies that force their employees to do fucking batshit insane motivational “exercises” should instead ask themselves why their employees are so miserable in the first place.

No points for guessing who’s fault it almost always is!

You absolutely did and I can only surmise that I had a miniature stroke that caused me to lose 5 seconds of real-time because I have no fucking idea how I missed that the first time.

Completely my fault, and I apologize for the blatant blunder.  That is an excellent response.

But in the scenario posited by the post you are replying to...how should they have responded?

Slack-jawed? Quietly exiting the store, vowing never to help a child get a loaf of bread again?

In that specific interaction, what should they have done?

It’s one thing to talk about the THEORY of “hey just reflect and listen”…

“But Republican opposition lies largely in the fact that the bill is full of long term investments and improvements to the nation’s paltry safety net.”

This is only what they CLAIM the problem is.

What is actually going on is that no one in the GOP can afford to vote for anything put forward by the Democrats, because…

The economy is meaningless and a massive con-game from start to finish.

There’s nothing there and no one knows what they’re doing.  Anyone who tells you otherwise has a vested interest in the nothing.

I hope no one is surprised that this dumpster fire of a company, that is “producing” a dumpster fire vaporware scam, is acting like total shit.

My god, what if the week they lose *pushes the release date back*???????

WHAT WILL WE DO?????????????????????????  I already took time off of work and circled my calendar for…

“Games are hard enough to make as it is, and even harder to make successful. Why have developers of looter shooters failed so many times to learn basic lessons that the entire genre is basically a meme now? Do they really think that being stingy with shitty loot and then having nothing engaging to do with the loot…

Burneko is garbage and always has been but everyone else there is good so it tipped the scale for me.

“I learned every racial slur on the Internet. Seen ‘em all, Googled ‘em all.”

As someone that also has enough privilege to have gone the route you have gone (Switch, PS5, PC), this absolutely smacks of that same privilege.

An XBox will run you $500. You cannot build or buy a PC at that price that will comparatively run the games. Not even close.

If the most personal computing you tend to do is…

You gave away the game WAY too early in that initial post my man.  Take that one back to the woodshed and work on it a bit.

“Frankly, if I was some wealthy multi-millionaire, I’d fund a properly leftist candidate in Manchin’s area in a heartbeat.”

They would get absolutely trounced immediately.

Manchin is in a deep red state.  It’s fucking WEST VRIGINIA.  What would happen is a republican would simply win the race.  The End.
