This is a straw man. No one is saying people are precluded from buying it. Just that if people get it for free they are far less likely to purchase it. Those are different things.

But it isn’t. The same has been true for hundreds of other switch releases.

I think everyone would agree adding the tactile part of everything that has gone digitial is something that we all really want. It’s just, really hard and expensive to do.

Don’t foget also, people were able to return games if they didn’t like them. Something nintendo put an end to after the crash.

maybe its just a matter of not enough press for so many games? It seems impossible that in a year that saw over 4k games released 0 would be of interest to you.

I’m just going off that article which says it is basically unusable. If that isn’t the case then, well, nevermind.

If I had any hesitation about just pirating the remaining games I want to play on vita then that hesitation has been removed with this news.

For real. The childhood version of the laws of gaming physics really got broken when that happened. Hell basically froze over and the devil and jesus decided to get together and play a friendly game of smash bros.

Wow. I mean I shouldn’t be surprised but still. I hadn’t heard that so far. Actually I had heard netflix is great to work with generally. But this stuff really rubs me the wrong way. How do they know with so much certainty? I’m really dubious that they actually do. Wish we could see what sorts of data they are getting…

The bugs can really cut into playing when you don’t have a ton of time for play sessions. Dealing with having to restart the game multiple times can change a 30 minute play session into a 15 minute play session which is significant.

Where have you heard they force writing changes based on analytics?

Same. Also the ridiculously small number of guns and autohealing seemed like it was a step backwards. It totally changed the strategy of the game. You no longer could be a tank running through explosions and come out the other side only to have to hunt for life. Instead you had to attack and retreat, attack and…

ahhh that makes sense

That’s mind blowing to me. I have 6 n64 controllers and every single one of them has a control stick that is total garbage. I played a lot but I was also very precious about my systems and tried to keep them as pristine as a kid could. I have started replacing them and when I open them the plastic just worn down. They…

I assume the same is true in kther countries they juat dont listen to them there? Or maybe it’s just the US is a large market? The UK getting subs seems weird to me.

Agreed. The feel of the original is truly unique.

How does the control stick feel compared to Nintendo's?

Why do Americans get dubs when other people get subtitles? I've never understood this.
