More like "You'll spend your money when we tell you to"

and for a lot of nintendo fantatics, they'll line up and do just that.

because they don't care about the greed, or exploitation, or anything else.

They just care about getting their next Mario/Zelda/Etc, at whatever price point Nintendo sets.

I only bought a switch because my hip was broken and so was my gaming PC. I wanted something to do while I was laid up on the couch.

I have already had my pro controller die on me forcing me to use just the switch controllers it came with. That’s really annoying. I’m paying way over market price already for a proprietary game device since I thought Nintendo has really good quality. The quality in my experience doesn’t justify the price of the controller.

I don’t feel bad at all if they lose a little bit of money as a result of any of their crappy businesses decisions. You can argue the games are great and they are but it doesn’t justify how the company behaves and if I could go back I wouldn’t have given them any money at all.

My pro controller has drift that doesn't go away even when I open it up and clean it. Nintendo really dropped the ball with quality this gen - never had any issues with any other Nintendo product before. I bought an adapter to use a PS5 controller with it.

You could say...

NintenDON'T wanna see you playing old stuff

There’s a flip side to this that I’ve found; until recently I have never had any desire to buy a Switch, ‘There’s Mario Kart and that’s all’ is what I thought. Then I obtained a few Switch games to play on an emulator and ooh boy is the temptation real now. I’ve been playing Zelda (the newest one and my first Zelda game), Luigi’s Mansion and of course Mario Kart. Piracy has me sweating every time I see a Switch on sale.

It really is a great intro to how good the switch is. Even though I have a switch lite and it's been good. Emulating the games I have on the steam deck with its slightly bigger screen has made me yearn for an OLED switch. Just imagining how much better Zelda and some other titles will look on it. It's tempting and I wouldn't have gotten there had I not been emulating

The games aren't being sold anymore and so it's not affecting Nintendo. Hence what's the point?

Dang, I sure am glad I pirated like every Nintendo rom N64 and prior a long time ago before they started purging everything.

They're still trivially easy to get.

I believe it does actually cut into profits, because they te release every popular game every X years
