@SwitchForce No disrespect intended but if you think companies care about their customers, you don't get business. Companies only care about the money. Gamers are addicted and will buy digital if that's the only option. Most of my games are digital,. unless I really like the case or it's a collectors edition. It's why Best Buy pulled all their DVDs, physical media is a dying entity. It's easier to move a bunch of hard drives then thousands of DVDs. I speak from experience on that, having moved across country easier to dump everything to HD and dispose of the discs.

They know that, and as far as what someone said about the Wii games, by the time they've shut down servers completely people have either moved on to newer systems or modded them. Look at PS2 and PS3 and even PS4, all are fully hacked and all the games can be find with a simple search. Same thing will happen in 10 years with the switch. .

Re: Random: It's Done! Every Super Mario Maker Level Has Been Cleared Before Wii U's Online Shutdown

@nintendozach It is not my job to track down and defend a random wiiU hacker. If they want to defend themselves, they are more than welcome to. Your idea that they deserve a defense is not grounded in any logic, only feelings. The article stated that the clear was legitimate AFTER the Mario Maker experts stated it was not. Team Zero percent could not care less who defeated Trimming the Herbs if it was truly cleared. They would be happy for them. Their whole goal was for the community, not just themselves, to 100% clear Super Mario Maker. Why would they lie? Your assumption that they would be jealous if someone cleared the level and not happy doesn't make any sense. It was cleared using a hack. Also, assuming that I'm jealous is another ridiculous fallacy. I don't even own a WiiU. Who are you suggesting should send in their WiiUs? Anyone who ever got a first clear in MM1?

@nala310 I think the future is digital regardless if people want digital or not.

Then you should be driving your ecar of the future? This is short slightness mindset that doesn't factor consumer choice or whom controls what media you buy or purchase. That's not the choices I want to have. Digital you have no ownership and you agreed to their EULA/TOS and they can pull or remove at will. Take into Sony removing subscribers paid content and Crunchyroll not moving user accounts over for what they paid for. That isn't the choice I want to have.

@Daze_of_Reality And to the people who "embrace the all digital future"... You don't own those games - even if you paid $60 for them. If your Switch were to break down years from now and you had to redownload your purchased games on a different Switch, you're depending on Nintendo keeping their Switch services and eShop open. Ask Wii owners if they can redownload any of their purchased games. They can't. And that's what the game industry wants... For us to not own games and have to repurchase them over and over again (or rent them via Switch Online/PS Plus subscriptions).
Such is true of the reality of Digital Games here's a old truth that matches up to what your mentioning about.

Digital Distribution Vs Physical Media and True Ownership

This rings true and is becoming a Reality now....

@Dm9982 2U is/was available on PS Vita and is compatible with PSTV. But, it was available only in Japan. But, in 2019, the game received Windows port and official English localization. I've bought it on GOG years ago. But, I would like to double dip on Switch!
«This is a series that def needs more attention and love.»
Yeah.
«...but I prefer mental horror rather than action/jump scares.»
The same thing with me. That's why I love Japanese horrors, and that's why Japanese horrors are the best!

OoT is my all-time favorite game, so I understand preferring a game for the sake of nostalgia. I can understand people liking BotW for being so unique and new. However, TotK is undoubtedly a better game. It's bigger, with much more to explore, much better and more varied enemies, so much more to do, better challenges, and a significantly better story. It's not perfect, but it's a far superior game.

Re: Talking Point: Why Isn't Nintendo Revealing Its Partner Devs Before Launch?

Maybe there's a variety of reasons, but really, every big corporation does this for one reason in particular: If corporations train their monkey customers to see products as being made by corporations and not by people, they don't need to treat the people behind their games very well, do they?

Considering the huge number of layoffs over the last couple years combined with fans ignoring those layoffs in favor of whatever exciting new thing the corporations are doing, dehumanizing their workforce is a strategy that works depressingly well.

I guarantee that at least one person in this comment section is guilty of this. I've certainly seen enough people leaping to the defense of corporations, not so much individual creators.

@Ralizah «I'm cautiously optimistic. The original (Blood Covered edition, at least) is one of my all-time favorite horror games...»
Seriously? Why not Repeated Fear (PSP, iOS) or 3DS or 2021 version? Blood Covered on PC looks and sounds ugly. Characters' design looks bad, no fully-voiced dialogues, no 10 ExChaps, no CGs...
Also, I think that the Blood Drive was overhated. And 2U is hellishly underrated.

As a former Gamestop employee this doesn't surprise me. Worked at GS for three years, and truthfully I loved the place. The employees were good, the customers were fun, was a good place to work, but they are very heavy on stats. Everything is about upselling, either warranties, accessories, etc. Over three years I saw the store slowly get deader and deader each month. Lots of complaints about the value of trade versus how much we'd sell for. People would pre-order items that would either not show up, or arrived broken. I think the future is digital regardless if people want digital or not.
