3 months ago i was planning to buy 3 more games on my Switch and upgrade to Switch 2 when it comes out.

After the shit with the Switch 2 launch and the anti-consumer attitude, i was ok I'm buying 2 more games on Switch and only PC after.

Now i am thinking that they don't gonna see another cent from me.

Steam deck and emulation. No new game is that critical, emulators will come out.

Is Nintendo mad at us? I know it's a business, but it's like they're trying to top themselves with every announcement.

They're trying to slow-boil you into having to play exclusively by their rules. In a couple years they'll want to forbid you from having the console in your home, you'll only be allowed to use it in official Nintendo-branded Play Rooms located at select locations. They'll cost $20/hr to use, and you have to buy the console first.

Shame, guess I'll never buy anything from them ever again. Bricking the device I own is fucked, it's none of your business what I do or don't do with it.

The Steam Deck is superior in every regard anyways.

Steam has the games Nintendon't. For everything else, there's emulation.

Easy solution: Don’t buy one. Play games on a PC. Nintendo isn’t your friend.

Best argument in favor of emulation so far.

Yeah that's illegal. It's the customers hardware once they buy it. Still gonna hack it like every Nintendo console before.

Yesterday I saw an article about this, and in typical Nintendo fanboy fashion one of the first comments I saw was “so what? They did with the first switch too.” As if somehow makes it better just because it’s expected lmao

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

i mean switch 1 has all the same games switch 2 does cause all nintendo does is re release the same shit every year like ea sports and all the other aaa slop. Even if they do it with more polish and quality.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

This just makes me want to pirate it..
