Announcements In order announced:

I liked the Direct, even though new announcement for first party were pretty much all remakes, but since Switch is my first Nintendo console, I loved all those announcements.

What do you all think about it?

Windows doesn't offer the service that connects Counter Strike players together, Valve does, and they do it for free and they offer it for first and third party games and they suffer the reputation hit if the service doesn't work (possibly even worse because at least with consoles you potentially have a physical copy as a backup to play with, which isn't a possibility with always online games on Steam).

Nintendo gets a cut on all software sold on their consoles, they get all profits from first party software, they don't tend to be the manufacturer that sells at the biggest loss (if at a loss at all), but people are still defending their choice to lock basic functionalities behind a paywall...
