Of course they were going to sell, because "Gamer activists" have no say over what others decide to buy or not.
They tried crying and whinning their way through the Switch 2 launch....to only it being the fastest selling console, Then since that didnt work, they go after key cards, again bitching and whinning with a dose of virtue signaling and "pocket policing" 🤣🤣🤣 Only "Ls" for whinners and more games for us.
...So salty. 🤣
Everybody can be all "activist" about them, but truth be told even if you dont buy them (assuming you were ever going to buy them. *How ive seen many claim, but they are just bandwagoning the hate) there are plenty who dont care about collecting, and that have PCs (which been digital for ages) and other consoles which have had both digital and key card type games. So no amount of crying about them will make them go away. And if you hold off buying good games because of thew format, ...
You can say it, doesn't make it true.
Yes, sell it to somebody who appreciates it and actually plays games instead of pirating.
If Piracy means no loss/theft to you so strongly, then one less pirate in the eco system is no loss either.
Piracy itself is not the damning thing, its the freeloaders and (funny enough) "greedy" people that abuse it, while preaching/quoting out of context Gabe Newell stuff about PC and grafting them to console, just to justify being a broke ass. For being this loud and obno...
Thank you for your common sense.
Dont you dare speak ill of the great DF, unless you are willing to deal with the swaths of cheerleader/defenders that will completely forget that they (just like IGN, Gamespot, Gamerant, and a legion of other "modern" Tech/gaming media) have Bias/interests of their own, whether they choose to speak on it, be obvious or subtle, its there. Or if its even their own and not influenced by outside factors ($) People dont want to think for their own (too much trouble) and prefer validation...
PS5 in a nutshell.
@Scissorman: Funny how you mentioning Revisionist history while doing exactly the same thing. In the quest to make Playstation the creator of all things "video games" I understand Europe always having a hate boner for Nintendo (first because they were mostly Sega fans, then Sony fans (as Sega fell out) but boy oh boy do you guys love to diminish anything Nintendo to suit your revisionist "Better narration" of video game history. Sony wouldn't even be in the industry t...
As IF they are not affected by that s**t from within already.
Got any more "rubbish" in there bud?
Yeah its funny that like most places, its mostly PS trolls and PC "freeloaders that are pissy because you cant pirate yet Switch 2" that make the rounds, citing DF (Nintendo trolls on a payroll) words as gospel to justify the retarded takes. Fun, Fun.
When you have outlets like Eurogamer/IGN misinforming and never correcting, flooding gaming news with ragbaiting and engagement farming (only feeding the trolls to create more) well, you have these examples of it "trickling down effect" where smaller outlets want to emulate (and gain that farm) in the process. Gaming press was already in the dumpster a long time ago, but since Apr. 2nd, they all shot for a new low, and are still riding that wave today.
I own a day one (that i modded) Switch, Switch OLED and now Switch 2 and have always used 95/5 ratio in favor of docked and never had bloated batteries. V1 switch i did swap out a new battery, but only after the 6th year.
Well as much as you can try to "demonize" them, you are not the first (nor the last ) to wish them hell and obliteration, as eveybody and their mother have been trying to see them gone since ...1984. LOL
But what you FAIL to mention is that you owe them the very industry you have to play games (as much as Europeans deny this) And your alternatives: Sony/MS fair NO better in being "good comapnies" They are far worst: Sony has been a Shady tactician since back in th...
You are self aware of how dumb and "sheepy" that tagline of "greedy" sounds like at this point in time, right?
Every little entitled twat on the internet has used it ad nauseum, as if all of a sudden you somehow struck gold or something. it ALMOST sounds as infantile as the other meme vomit brain rot: "Defending the billion dollar company, blah, blah" FFS. tell me its "irony" at least what you are trying to express, so at least i can give you s...
Really great take on how we got to this point. Will add that the weaponizing/monetizing of the "console warring" concept, accelerated/facilitated all of your points. When you take what used to be simple bantering and jabbing between different fanbases and throw money/resources at it as the most effective marketing tool, instead of improving any areas that might add longevity to your products, you only improve sales while creating a destructive environment. Which now has come full ci...
Uuuf, this will piss of a lot of people in the industry.
They don't want to hear this when their job for the last decade or 2 has been trying to sustain the status quo of the 2 other platform holders in the console space. Switch 2 hasn't even come out yet and the barrage of negative gaming "journos" push has them all in a frenzy. Not because of power or lack of the system, but because Nintendo managed to launch their system in a point in time where the other 2 have ...
I would caution people taking DFs "opinion" as facts. (yes, opinion because they still haven't produced a "source" for this "info"
Which they claim it is Nintendo themselves but Nintendo hasn't produced that yet, and DF would be last in the list of people to give it to. Considering all that DF has done is deride the hardware as "lesser than" almost everything. Even in the face of the fact they nor anybody performing these "tests&qu...
Too bad it took over 12 years for PS2 to reach that number (before Jim Ryan made took some more out of his ass) Does that mean people were buying PS2s becasue it was cheaper and nothing good on PS3 and almost PS4? Nice try. 🤣🤣🤣
