I agree with a lot of what you're saying, but your final statement just comes back to my point: People saying "this is the least of our worries" because THEY, personally, are not super interested in the franchise or they view the game as lesser or whatever, is exactly the reason why we're now stuck in a hobby going down the tubes when it comes to micro monetization. When people don't care, that's when the people in power continue down their path unimpeded. "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It's not." -Seuss
Also, my prediction is that this will NOT be the last paid DLC we'll see for Tetris 99. Far from it. I predict a couple more 10-20 dollar add-ons with new modes. Greed, greed, greed. For me, at least, I'm going to vote with my (paltry) wallet by not buying this DLC. And I applaud the people speaking against this.
Now, back to whatever you people have deemed more important right now.
@rallydefault I think for Tetris 99, Nintendo will do what they've done so far. 1 "season" of paid DLC and then that's it just like all the other Nintendo games on Switch that have gotten paid DLC. The "season" of paid DLC in this case being the Big Block DLC (part 1 was CPU Battle and Marathon, part 2 is later this year).
No, no, it's fine to drown in the possibilities of a grim future. Keeps the blood pumping.
Lol lol oh my gosh.

If someone cares about a product, griping that they're not getting more of it for free (when they had no real reason to expect it), seems an odd, and rather childish, way of expressing that care.
It's like walking through your local supermarket where there's a member of staff offering tasters of a new product, so you take one, and then kick off because they won't give you another.

Paying for switch online games though makes perfect sense though! If you don't play online and want to have access to them what would be the problem? I bought a one month sub to NSO and because I didn't have service at home though I had paid for a month I ended up only having maybe 2 weeks worth of nes games that I may have played only about an hour or two after I got home from work since that's what I wanted to play! It's ridiculous that we are not given a choice especially with linked accounts (my 3ds and switch accounts are for example).
@ReaderRagfish
Switch online NES is basically virtual console but you have to have a sub and not have a self curated collection of games. Wouldn't that just be more money for Nintendo to offer them for sale to everyone else?
Hiya all, I'm back after 3 months of hiatus, I think.
I see there are many things to talk about, mainly that Tetris 99 Big Block DLC, which is a $10 offline content that's pissing most "fanboys" off. My opinion is that it's about time. I was wondering when Nintendo and Tetrimino are going to make the game for those who don't have online subscription. Marathon and vs 98 bots are good addition to be ready to face against the world. I think this is better deal than other Tetris titles that's on PS4 and Xbox One, which cost about $39 with only single player content + online leaderboard.
Second thing is E3. Am I excited for this one? Yes, but not to overhype myself for it. I though they're back to E3 conference stage, but any form of E3 presence for Nintendo is welcome. The best segment of Nintendo E3 in my opinion is the Treehouse, which shows gameplays that people actually want to see and make bad looking games exciting.
Overall, happy to be back here at NL, Tetris 99"s DLC isn't something you should complain about, and E3 can't come soon enough.
Making promise is easy. The hard part is keeping it.

Your analogy, like most provided by internet pundits, makes zero sense. Do you have to pay to walk into the hypothetical grocery store in your flawed analogy? If not, your analogy is void.
Also, I don't know what "kick off" means. I'm American. Does it mean throw a fit or somethin?
Here’s the thing though. Nothing is being taken from anyone who’s subbed. You’re paying for a sub. But you’re getting exactly what was advertised and nothing less. Tetris is a bonus, an extra bone they’re tossing. Not only are you getting everything that was advertised, you’re getting above and beyond what was advertised. And are then somehow upset because they sell an off-line mode that A was never part of the online service package and B doesn’t take away anything from the extra bone they tossed you.
It’s illogical. Unless it’s a desire to feel special and have something other people don’t have, I can’t see the reason behind getting upset. Nothing was taken away from what you already had. You have everything today that you had last week. Nothing has been lost.
This is a separate issue from the quality of the service, which I think is lacking, and it’s a separate issue from the quality of the free bone they’re tossing, which I also find to be unimpressive. Nonetheless, there’s nothing to be upset about with regard to them selling an additional mode that has nothing to do with anyone’s online sub.

lol I'm a huge football fan! Go Eagles! That made me chuckle, though.
@gcunit
I honestly don't even know what you're saying anymore, man lol
My point was that you have to pay for NSO, therefore you are already paying for access to Tetris 99. Charging 10 bucks for people who want the game but don't want NSO is fine, but for that of us already paying an "access" fee to the game and to then ask for another 10 bucks if we want all the modes (marathon and whatever else is coming) is dirty, end of story.
A better analogy would be that if you DID have membership at a grocery chain like Sam's or Costco and they gave you a coupon for a free pizza. You're already paying for the grocery membership, so a free pizza is a nice perk. But when you show up to get the free pizza, they tell you you need to pay an extra 5 bucks if you want cheese and sauce on it. But what's the big deal? You could still get the dough for free, so stop your whining lol
Do you consider the 99 battle royale to be just dough though?
It's kinda like, you get free pizza with your subscription to the store, but then they open up the restaurant and let people go in and buy a personal pizza subscription without needing their own Sam's club membership. And those with both, get more pizza.
They get the pizza, but can't access the main store itself. And now I want pizza.
