@JimmySpades first of all, I'm on my laptop lol Replying to comments is your idea of a temper tantrum. Please leave the comment section alone if you don't understand dialogue.
@mazzel I'm a bit of a "I, me and myself" person when I buy things for myself, as are most people. The world doesn't buy from Amazon because they're thinking of benefiting the company, but because we want the products for ourselves. As for giving donations to people who ask for donations, I do it thinking about "we, us and ourself". I don't think Platinum asked for donations tho.
The current pandemic has affected everything and everyone, no one is discussing that. But when you keep making mistakes, don't be surprised to be called out for it. I haven't sued Platinum, I didn't ask for a refund, I didn't pester them with e-mails. But I'm able to observe the mess they did and comment on it.
@mazzel we don't know for sure the extra content was only added because the targets were reached.
Also please don't confuse being rigorous/critical with having hatred.
@Alaninho I'm not complaining about the game being a port. I'm saying it's easier to port than to develop a whole game from scratch. I've seen indie companies deliver better/flawless service than Platinum with this messy Kickstarter. They need to be called out, and as a backer I have every right to complain about it lol. You're too lenient, dude.
@leo13 they don't really have a legitimate excuse to mess up the eshop codes, not to mention they should have put extra care towards pleasing fans considering the whole fiasco with physical copies. They even messed up the backer questionnaire before the pandemic took over the world, and backers couldn't choose which platform they wanted. When you make so many mistakes, you either improve your service and stop doing mistakes, or you're going to upset some people (besides seeming really messy and disorganized).
@SilentHunter382 Platinum also said they were going ahead with the ports, they didn't really need the backers. They weren't necessarily dependent on the kickstarter's success to start developing the ports and cover manufacturing costs. The Kickstarter page was nothing more than a glorified online shop for people to pre-order the game, however they are now getting it after the general retail release. It's messy and downright shady.
@SilentHunter382 let's not forget Bloodstained was developed through the Kickstarter whereas TW101 was a completed game that only needed to be ported. Should have been quite straightforward, alas hasn't.
@SergeEXE and why would I want a Steam code if I don't have a gaming PC? They have contracts to fulfill with retailers, but what about people that funded the project? Why are those contracts less important?
This has got to be one of the most convoluted/embarrassing/upsetting Kickstarters in recent history. At this point I don't know if I should find it funny or plain annoying.
@Ajent what I understand is that there was a ton more interesting news yesterday than this thing about a free-to-play crapware. You can use caps as much as you want, doesn't hide the fact you're more interested in this kiddie shovelware than actual news/interviews about actual video games. But keep at it, it's exciting to find out what you're going to say next, more exciting than playing the piece of poop mentioned in this article.
@citizen_zane I've tried it briefly yesterday and nothing happened. That doc points out a few preparations that I didn't do, so I assumed that was what I was missing. I'll try it again later.
@Ajent all the things I posted are more interesting than this crappy free to play game. There's a few games announced in the links I posted that have never been mention in Nintendo Life (eg. Umihara Kawase Bazooka).
@JTTS I use it the same way I use other websites: to read news about Nintendo. Which is why when articles like these come up, I'm left scratching my head.
@original_pmf It says a lot when a Nintendo focused website misses important news about upcoming video games, but has time to write an article to tell you what next game you should give your child. I'm surprised they don't review all the eShop shovelware.
@TheLightSpirit what is it you guys have against people using a service or visiting a website and voicing some criticism, eh? I give them clicks by browsing the website and seeing the ads on the page, nothing wrong with that. The fact I see the ads on here is already bringing them money.
Everyone knows these lists serve one purpose only: affiliate links for extra revenue. So the least they could do is get it right. This was clearly a list done beforehand and they forgot to fix it before posting. I've pointed it out in the comments. It boggles the mind that you and the likes of you have an issue with that.

Thanks Platinum!

Re: Platinum Sends Out Blank Switch Codes To Wonderful 101 Kickstarter Backers
