@drewber2635 You are correct that other game studios do the paid digital DLC. I do not support this. I work hard for my money and want real tangible goods. I would gladly pay the extra $10 to have a physical copy. I'm not saying to get rid of the digital DLC option, but at least provide both ways of DLC for the people that want it if they are going to charge a premium price for it.
You can resell, trade or let somebody borrow a physical expansion that's on a game cartridge. Paid $30 DLC is magic pixie dust. Is it cheaper than what we used to pay? Sure, but you're not getting anything of real value. As people have said before. Xenoblade2 did DLC/expansion right. Put the DLC on a cartridge if you're going to charge that much. Please and Thank You.
I only own the Switch. I have never had and still have no interest in the other brands. It is not due to brand loyalty. I just do not find their products compelling for the price.
@arekdougy This controller actually looks pretty clean compared to most of the Pro Controllers I've seen. That analog stick powder gets bad even after just a short play session. Powder so thick I could sprinkle it on my doughnuts!
@SwitchForce have you gone into the controller calibration screen and actually tested the D-Pad by pressing it Right to Left? You will see how often it registers an Up press. You might be shocked at the results.
@NEStalgia Yah, I'm aware and actually first place I noticed this was the n64 analog stick way back in the day. I would say a little bit of powder is normal, but all the Pro Controllers I've seen seem very excessive.
The horrible D-Pad aside, does the white powder from the Analog Sticks drive anybody else crazy? I've never seen sticks create so much debris!!! I am constantly cleaning them
I made an account just to make this comment. The Pro Controller D-Pad is garbage. I've been playing games since the Atari2600 era and I've NEVER had to take apart a NEW controller to make it function properly until I bought the Pro Controller. There is absolutely no denying that the Dpad will register miss-presses. After modifying the the contact points with some Scotch Tape, I was able to get the D-Pad to work as intended. Like others have mentioned, Tetris99, the eShop menus, Shovel Knight and other precision games will highlight the flaw and make you tear your hair out in frustration. No Pro Controller is free of this defect without user repair.

I don't think this amount of dust/debris is normal for an hour or two play session. https://i.redd.it/myhndc72emqz.jpg
