nintendo has done a HORRIBLE job at controlling the narrative of the switch 2. i hear random ass people complaining about $90 games or how they can just randomly decide to brick your console for no reason at all. like, IRL randos saying that. online, i still see tons of people complaining about having to pay money for frame rate and resolution enhancements, but the upgrades that do just that and only that are free. then you had people complaining about the price of mario kart world and then nintendo has the direct they say is going to change people's perception of the price, and it shows off like 1 new minor thing. nintendo content creators are carrying HARD and even they miss things pretty often.
@LukeAlmighty well you're not really paying to stream your 10fps gameplay, you're paying to play online and they just added another "perk" lol. but yes the game chat video streaming looks like utter dogshit.
@beardalaxy if they don't want to be known for bricking consoles then maybe they shouldn't brick consoles? they took my ability to download the games I already own, that's not too far removed from a literal brick
fuck cucktendo
@matana the misunderstanding is over *what* will get your console bricked. i agree that they shouldn't do it at all, but people are acting like something as simple as a voltage spike is going to brick your console forever. it's probably only going towards the pirates and people who are cheating in online games or using hacks to enter people's game chats and stuff. staying offline when you're doing homebrew stuff or piracy especially has always been recommended.
@beardalaxy "it's probably only going towards the pirates", I didn't do anything and got my console borderline bricked anyway, just like thousands and thousands of people did, and if it happened once, it will happen again, be so for voltage spikes or no reason at all
@matana what did you do?
@beardalaxy literally nothing
@matana oh it was the Russia sanction stuff right
@beardalaxy I do not consider a corpo being a good little tool in an economic proxy war a legitimate reason to terminate customer service
@matana yeah I agree with you there.
@beardalaxy @bebe they do, because the same way as you can't just go vigilante, you also shouldn't be able to destroy a pirate's property
@beardalaxy @bebe give pirates an award, nationalize cucktendo assets
@Alex @matana @bebe iirc that is actually illegal in some places, just because it is in the eula doesn't mean it wouldn't be illegal if they did it. however if they're only banning users who are also breaking the law, the people doing that don't really have a leg to stand on unless they really want to take a huge fall to send a message.
@beardalaxy @bebe again, they already did ban a ton of people who did nothing
@Alex well, what i'm talking about isn't really people "waking up" it's people hearing some clickbait on the internet and not investigating any further. physical games are not $90. mario kart world is $80 but metroid prime 4 and donkey kong banaza are $70. nintendo isn't using game key carts for their first party releases. game key carts only exist because the cartridges are really expensive to produce and the games going on them would have just been strictly digital otherwise. the technology for an OLED screen with the same specs is literally non-existent. mario kart world has reverse versions of tracks despite nintendo never clearly revealing it. game upgrades have variable pricing.
etc etc etc etc
what i'm saying is that nintendo hasn't done enough to control the narrative around the console so people are getting their heads full of "fake news" as it were.
there are also things that nintendo is doing which playstation did as well or worse, but they never really got shit for it. the only thing playstation got shit for is having no games. i think it is basically "cool" to shit on nintendo. for good reason, imo, but you have to still get your shit straight.
@beardalaxy
Don't forget that you can pay monthly fee to stream your 10fps gameplay.
