But who cares. Let people min/max if they want to. That’s how they want to play Animal Crossing. Like some maniacal fruit hoarders hocking rare apples while their local towns frogs beg the mayor to build a bridge.

One must not speak ill of Nintendo. Now, if EA did the exact same thing? There would be hell to pay.

That’s what 35+ years of consumer goodwill and quality game design buys you.

It’s also not 1996 anymore. Trapping your game on to a physical console in 2020 is completely absurd and any other publisher or console maker would be screamed about for months until they changed it.

The switch is a portable console. Portable things get broken more often. Trapping your game that you may have spent hundreds of hours in on the physical console in 2020 is completely absurd and any other publisher or console maker that did it would be roasted over an open flame.

Not even being able to back it up or one-way transfer in case of system failure is not a “non-issue.” That’s ridiculous nonsense that has no place in a game in 2020.

I think Nintendo gets away with a lot that other other publishers or console makers would get rightly castigated for. 

De jure Israel (Israel in it’s legal borders) does not have Apartheid, it has segregation in the sense of “seperate but equal”.

It implements apartheid policies within its own boundaries and infringes upon the boundaries of others through illegal settlements. Which is actually worse than regular apartheid but I decided for brevity.

I would say movie and TV development is akin to creating video games as they are huge artist undertakings being done largely for profit, but why do we not hear so much about horrible working conditions in those industries?

I’d guarantee that 9/10 kids that receive a game console for Christmas will never notice that it was already opened.

Thank you. The “screw prime, I get my stuff at Target and Walmart” comments are really confusing me.

Ya but the people who actually think it’s a new version of the Xbox one X can’t figure out how to open doors so I don’t think they’re too concerned there.

Time to board the hype train 🚞. I love this next gen chat !!

The Wii U proved that a half-baked, under-powered console bereft of launch and launch window games, AND having a stupid name is a recipe for disaster.

tip it over on it’s side horizontally, like most of the xbox consoles have been since the 360?

This is the first Exotic of any kind I got back in Destiny 1, and I played the hell out of it when it was BAD, just because it looked so cool.

Today I learned that Battleborn hasn’t already been shut down, as I had previously assumed.

The original article mentions it several times as US$1.4 million, so one can only assume that the guy actually spent that much money on a video game character instead of buying up real estate in San Francisco or Vancouver.

According to the linked headline (which you could’ve checked), it’s in U.S. dollars
