@blindsquarel There are ways to go around that.

Isn't Facebook a monopoly? Isn't YouTube? WhatsApp?

All of them have competitors, but they are so weak that it's irrelevant.

@Spiders You actually gave me a lot of food for thought too. I really like your point of view about the situation.

The future definitely doesn't look as dark comparing to the possibilities you presented, but one other thing to think about is that Microsoft makes the game pass model so accessible because they want to defeat the competition. If they do win the console war and become a monopoly, what's stopping them from hiking prices or creating "tiers" with access to different games according to how much you pay, thus creating another class division?

Unfortunately I think it's something very human to try to divide themselves into groups of haves and have-nots.

Microsoft buying all these companies is net negative for the video game Industry. Imagina a future where you get all your games through game pass, don't own anything and Microsoft has complete control of the market?

That would be the darkest timeline.

@Handy_Man This is the best comment I've ever seen since I registered on this website.

Wow! One game per month! Calm down Nintendo!
The amount of games released in this amazing and definitely not ripoff of a service is staggering!

@gameboy1975 Any and all arguments you had I'll dismiss considering you called me "kiddo" and "friend". Next time you talk to someone you don't know don't demean then by using these terms. Also saying what I wrote is "crap" invalidates your argument too.

A lesson for next time you talk to people is, don't talk down to them, talk to them. You come off as arrogant. Thankfully there's an ignore button, so see you never again.

@gameboy1975 Yeah, I said in every post not just this one. Also in this one there two at the beginning and one more in the middle.

And different from you a few people replied to me explaining why they say it making it clear, which is much more helpful and constructive than you were.

@Curator I missed one comment that said exactly that a while ago. Knowing that, it makes more sense why people point the Switch's success frequently.

@electrolite77 Nope. Apparently I missed all the Switch bashing action hahaha

@JaxonH Ah, that makes sense. It felt like it was out of nowhere, but there's a good reason for it. Thanks for the info!

Why are half of the comments in every switch sales chart "take that, people who said the Switch was dead/a failure"?

I literally never saw people claiming that in this website and it feels like a response to a straw man.

So it will have a lifespan of 7 years which is the average for a console nowadays?

My god, these analysts are so intelligent with their predictions!

Liked all their games, especially Octopath.

Whatever it is, I'm looking forward to it!

"The lack of knowledge and experience sometimes showed through".

It's still what shows the most.

He did so much for the game that I think everyone is more than ok with no more updates.

I feel a bit sad at the same time though since Stardew Valley is a game that I end up playing from time to time there was always a little bit more every time I came back to it.

Apollo finally getting the spotlight!

I really like him even though I'm not a big fan of the game, always thought they were a bit harsh in not giving him another chance to have his own game.

I like how detailed they are in the update description. Shows a lot of respect for the players.

This dude is a badass and an inspiration for many!

Ah, Ubisoft, EA and Activision. The holy trinity of abuse towards employees.

@WallyWest Yet you care enough to reply? Still in your mind after all

And I did a quick scan through your comment history and saw that you like to tease people and then try to get them banned. Not gonna fall for that. This is our last interaction so go and try to troll other people.

@HotGoomba I meant remembered by nobody for doing this, not overall. But yeah, it came out as very mean. Fair observation.

@HotGoomba Do you know me? No you don't. He's digging non stop in a game, stop making more than what it is.
That has zero world impact. I just stated a fact.
It's irrelevant if I have done something or not, what he is doing is unimportant.

@WallyWest Wow, you took it personally. Ok keyboard warrior. Be careful with your Cheetos.

Focusing on the Kinect instead of quality 1st and 3rd party games I'd what made the PS3 outsell the Xbox 360 by the end of the generation. They should've have focused on what they were good at instead of aping Nintendo.

It's wrong for me. It doesn't show some of the games I played including Pokémon Diamond which was the game I played the most this year.

I think the Oscars and the Game Awards are very similar.
Both are crap and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Yes, finally!!! I'm gonna buy so many things and spend so much money!!!
Oh no......

Everyone, don't smoke weed, it's very dangerous!

But don't forget to drink a lot, it might kill you but it's the socially acceptable drug!

That is disturbing for me.
I don't consider something like this healthy or fun.

But if they like it, it's their prerogative.

Nothing will ever be as good as Madden 08!

@thiz- So anybody that doesn't have your opinion is a hater? "My view or you're wrong!" Nice way of seeing the world.

And just so you know, I'm playing Brilliant Diamond and enjoying it more than Sword and Shield, but that doesn't make my point of view the only one valid.

That's PR talk. The moment they see the profits lowering on the Switch they're gonna launch another console. I don't think it is farfetched to say that they're already in the early development stages of the Switch's successor.

@thinkhector Oh, I didn't know about that. I hope they find a way to actually show these deals.
Thanks for the info!

@Neckcrane Deku Deals made my shopping experience a dream. It is actually pleasant to search for games through the website.

@anoyonmus Almost like different people have different opinions, right?
But apparently criticizing something is not to your liking, so we shouldn't do it.

I have mixed feelings about this game. On one side I like that they're updating Diamond and Pearl because even though I liked them, Gen 4 was slow as hell. On the other side it is looking more and more like an extremely safe remake, to the point that it bears question if it should exist at all.

I still haven't bought it. So unfortunately I might end up contributing with Mario Kart 9 not being made.

My god. Chris Pratt as Mario is debatable, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong is just plain wrong.

I'm waiting to buy Binding of Isaac Super Duper Ultra Amazing Ultimate edition.

@mariomaster96 Do they? To me it looked pretty standard.

@electrolite77
I referred to his assumption that everyone that disliked the video wasn't satisfied with the original service. I was, therefore he is wrong about that statement.

@johnvboy Sorry, I wasn't clear to what I was referring. I meant regarding this sentence:

"So a huge percentage out of the internet minorities that never liked the original service, do not like the new expansion or it's price, what a genuine shocker. "
I'm an example that this is not necessarily the case.

@johnvboy I liked the original service for its price and what was offered. I don't think the new service offers enough to justify the price hike, especially when I don't care about the Sega Genesis games and I would speculate(although I can't confirm) that most people don't care either and would prefer GB/GBC/GBA games added to it. It is a Nintendo console after all.

I was actually looking forward to this until the price announcement, so I can say that at least when it comes to my opinion on the service you are objectively wrong.

For its time a masterpiece. Nowadays a flawed but still enjoyable gem.

Cool. If only "The Witcher" show was about a Witcher named Geralt. But that wouldn't make any sense, would it?

We've been waiting for so long for a successor in the Tactics series (FF/Ogre) and it's almost here!
It's gonna be amazing!

Overpriced and underdeveloped? That's good old Nintendo!

@Dethmunk
You didn't have any problems which means the other 90 million people that bought a Switch shouldn't have any problems. Good thing your experience is the only one that counts, right?

@raygboyd333 The difference is that you're offered monthly 2 or 3 reasonably recent games. Not games from 20 to 30 years ago.
