I remember looking into book vs ebooks cost - the cost of printing, warehousing and distributing came to something like 20% of the list price.

Honestly, I went from buying a game every few months to one game per year, and if prices continue to climb, I’ll cut back even further.

For example, I hadn’t seen any of Justin Roiland’s work before I played High on Life.

Absolutely.

I’d love to see them branch out to non-American cities.  Someplace we haven’t been, but has a lot of character - like Prague, or Melbourne.

I like the story, though

Yeah, it’s not like the context makes what Maher shat out of his mouth-ass any better.

young, ignorant me used to see Maher as a liberal.. but once I realize he’s just basically an asshole in a suit, I stopped caring for him.  I can generally pick the opposite of most of his take and come out on the better side of history.

They fail even *at that*.

Early Netflix was very much this, though. They had licensing deals with the major publishers and could share all their content. Then those publishers got greedy, and decided rather than share revenue with Netflix, they’d just make their own walled off content garden.

The same will happen with games, it won’t just be one service that has everything.

The list was non-exhaustive, they’ve done a lot of wacky things over the years.  Need I mention using special floppy disks and card readers too?

Looks like middling crud that was hardly pushed or advertised put out by a no-name studio.

That makes no sense, both from a resource investment or a consumer perspective.  

Calm down, they just gave everyone F-Zero 99, and are about to drop Super Mario RPG remake. After making Earthbound available on NSO. They know the classic IP goldmine they are sitting on, and are shrewd to deploy it in-between bigger, bolder projects that carry more risk and expectations.

Go back to licking Spencer’s boots.

The only difference is that the games would be available on more platforms and on Game Pass, which would be good for customers.

Given that Nintendo has a pretty solid track record on backwards compatability...?

Nintendo prefers to not be first to the race, but rather the one to perfect whatever project it is they are working on

No, Wii-U died because it didn’t differentiate itself from the Wii.  A lot of people looked at and thought it was just a Wii with a tablet controller option.
