Nintendo is never getting another cent of my money.
They might have from me if the Steam Deck didn't exist, but their advantage in the past was always being cheaper than the competition. I'm not interested in paying ~~$400~~ $450 for a locked portable console.
I loved my switch. I spent a lot of time with it. But since getting the steam deck... All the things I can do with it, and the cheap games, and even the high end games that I can play, it's just too good. I beat hollow knight on my PC. I bought a switch after that, bought hollow knight collectors and never played it. Was fully planning on buying silk song on the switch but now I think I'll go for the steam version.
I'm hoping to get one soon. I've really enjoyed my jailbroken Switch and the prospect of a more powerful, even more open portable is enticing.
I’m curious what other people’s main gripe is (likely emulation fights?) For my own, it’s when they enacted an assault on Garry’s Mod assets.
That domain never did anything to harm their brand and was a source for tons of fan content. Emulation has its murky arguments about capitalism, but going after GMod was just litigation and harm for its own sake.
Even though I know lemmy is the minority of minority consumer sentiment, it gives me hope that this comment has a decent amount of upvotes in a nintendo post.
Seriously, fuck nintendo's anti consumer bullshit.
Hell yeah !!
