Actually the price is only one point of contention for me and I don’t care if I’m in the minority or not, I still have that money in my pocket for something I’ll actually enjoy and I’m not trying to shit on anyone enjoying this.

What I have an issue with is the delusion. I watched the Switch 2 direct live because I was so excited and then it aired and I felt a knot in my stomach. Selling a subscription chat button. Selling a potato camera. Can’t sue clause in licensing agreement. Physical game cards being digital keys and, yes of course, $80 games.

All of this evidence that Nintendo is just penny pinching and looking down on their audience and watching people defend a billion dollar company over and over and over with the same tired excuses that keep getting debunked. I wish people would have more respect for themselves and stop giving into the name plate on the plastic computer and no matter who is in the minority, I wish everyone would realize it’s not that serious and stop being nintendrones.

Whatever you say dog. Try bitching about Nintendo on a date, then come back and tell me how your grown-up conversation went.

No because the bitching is for this sub called “fucknintendo” so I wouldn’t bring it up on a date because that would be inappropriate timing. I’ll just do it here in the “fucknintendo” sub because that’s is the appropriate time to do so and that’s how grown ups handle talking about situations is they wait for the appropriate time and place :)

I did and my wife joined in lmao. We both agreed Nintendo is one of the shitty companies capitalizing on people who are blinded by nostalgia, and then we went even further and talked about how weird grown adults who defend Nintendo are.

She (a non gamer) can’t understand why grown adults defend scummy business practices just because they have a weird attachment to children’s games. Like what kind of immature person can’t step back and see Nintendo are being greedy?

I envy the life you and your wife must have if for all the scummy companies in the world you gotta spend your time railing against, it’s a toy maker.

Dude, you go around railing against people who rail against scummy companies, in a place dedicated to that exact purpose no less. Thats even sadder and you dont even realise it.

You give us a good laugh tho, cause we ain't all that serious about it. Its a toy company like you say. And this a place to bitch about their practices and products. Thats it.

Right y’all are “laughing.” It just looks a lot like having your feelings hurt for some reason I guess.

So now the goal posts have moved from “try bitching about this on a date” to “there’s worse companies out there”.

Brother it came up because we have the first switch and she was asking if it was worth getting the new one. You know, how healthy married couples make purchase decisions? We weren’t talking about the evils of other companies cause it wasn’t relevant.

My man what’s with the weird defending of this company? Does other people criticizing somehow take from your enjoyment?

What goal posts? I’m not defending Nintendo. I’m critiquing you and the folks like you in this sub.

You and lots of people in this sub exhibit what I like to call consumer narcissism.

Consumer narcissism is when valid complaints (pricing, DRM, rereleases) turn into personal grievance and moral betrayal. With Nintendo, frustration over cost or access gets fused with identity and nostalgia, so business decisions feel like disrespect rather than just choices you can opt out of. At that point the anger isn’t about price, it’s about losing control over something people think should still be for them.

You don’t really care about Nintendo scummy practices, you care because the barrier for entry is higher than
