She put her hands on a minor...there aren’t enough salty tears to make that go away...but I’m not all that confident truth be told.

Didn’t they just pass “Karen’s Law” in NY state?

This is a bit ironic since it kiiiinda feels like it had to have been the investors and C-suite guys who forced this out earlier than any of the devs ever wanted.

This is true I guess, I wonder if adding more CRISPR and Tleilaxu style solutions to human problems could help pull it into the 21st century. Also, the Genre is stuck in the idustrial greytones of the eighties and missing out on the bright whites of the modern digital giants.

People are getting mad about this post but I don't know of any other medium that expects me to pay 4 bucks for 30 pages but makes them all cross over so I have to buy dozens of issues a month and also reboots its status quo every 3 months to capitalize on a movie.

“I got mine so I’m not mad about this and you shouldn’t either” is not the take you think it is.

Especially in the middle of a pandemic where a lot of people are not able to spend money on entertainment. They could make a lot more money if they, you know, made it a permanent thing.

I think Nintendo is testing the waters - they want to see 1) how much extra money a tactic like this nets them and 2) how much people let them get away with it. If everyone accepted it without complaint, they might do it more, but if it were clear from the start that it was unacceptable then they’d be less likely to…

Yes, well, wouldn’t you rather be treated with respect, like a real human being, by corporations, rather than as a dumb money bag they can just grab handfuls out of whenever they desire?

Yes, and that’s exactly how Disney used to operate in the past. “Be sure and buy our shit now to ram down your kids’ throats y’hear, because we’ll artificially take it off the market in a couple months, and then where will you be!”

Oh god, it’s the age-old “It’s not that bad, other things are so much worse” defense.  It’s ok for people to criticize things that aren’t literally cancer or the holocaust.

It’s true that you’ll still be able to get physical copies, but once they are no longer making new ones and you can no longer get the digital version, expect the prices to be a lot higher than $60.

You could’ve saved yourself, and indeed the rest of us, some time and just typed ‘fuck you, I got mine’.

You don’t have to be “outraged” to think it’s fucking stupid.

Whether one is “that” pissed about this is a matter of interpretation - what Nintendo is doing is cynical and greedy exploitation of FOMO to coax people into forking out money they perhaps would not have spent otherwise.

There’s just no logical reason to stop people who didn’t have a Switch (or a spare $60) for these six months to ever be able to buy these games. It’s more than “weird”, it’s an anti-consumer marketing ploy. For Super Mario Bros 35 I can almost get it because it really is designed as a celebration of this one game and…

On the other hand, outrage is an unlimited, abundant resource, so it’s fine to freely dispense it towards anything and everything that rates on the stupidity spectrum.

So stupid. I feel like Nintendo, while doing some amazing things, is always just slightly out of touch with things. (good thing I have emulators to run Mario 64!)
