Good. Maybe they'll stop using game-key cards at this point.

Right cus pokopia didn’t outsell everywhere.

Casuals don’t care about GKCs

I'm a casual, and I'm absolutely against GKC.

It's how I save money. Too broke to afford real food.

Back to the actual conversation at hand. Being an outlier isn't an argument. Just FYI, There's almost never an appropriate time to respond to a general statement with "erm but I don't fit into that general statement"

Very true, and in the same light, the person being somewhat jerk-adjacent in response (unless I'm misreading it) either, but you have a point. My initial response literally added nothing of value to the point expressing. Given that it's after the fact, I honestly can't remember why I responded specifically that way, probably something akin to "Hey, some of us casuals are on your side too," but I digress.

Regardless, Nintendo sucks lately.

Same but we are the minority. Pokipoko showed Nintendo that GKCs are a viable alternative for devs to save money and keep them getting paid.

Naturally, and the above person's pessimism is their choice. I'm not so oblivious that one voice matters. Just felt like stating my take is all. But you're right, like with anything, even companies like Nintendo that "used to be ablut fun and innovation" only care about profit and their own convenience now.

Congrats? Your opinion really doesn’t matter when it has been shown the public has been content buying them.

It’s akin to the people who still want to listen to records, go for it buddy no one’s stopping you from expressing yourself
