@TheFullAndy Please forward the copy of the contract. Otherwise you are just making stuff up.

I think they simply didn't want to pay for the cart and no further consideration was made. So instead of getting a $60 sale from me, they get whatever the GOTY edition for PS5 will cost on sale.

@TheFullAndy Then nintendo needs to have more control over publishing. AAA games shouldn't be allowed to only be released digital. That's just giving up sales.

@FargusPelagius That was an obvious lie. Come on this is the site that interviewed a manager instead of an actual developer and let him not answer questions.

@TheFullAndy That seems unlikely, I will just get a physical disk for PS5.

Nintendo deciding to reduce their sales is their problem.

Let me know when it get's a physical release. Not paying full price for half the product.

@Olmectron Who said licensing agreements have to be free?
Who said they are losing money? These are genuine joycon, so they make the same no matter what.

@Grot What are you on about?
Licensing is not something that they are required to do, but could do when it is appropriate. Acting like they have no choice is completely stupid.

If they just don't want to, that's also fine. Don't pretend they have no choice.

@Grot That's not how any of this works.
You aren't required to grant licensing. Just because steam can sell bethesda games doesn't mean you can.

@nessisonett They could protect their trademarks and still allow this. That's exactly what licensing agreements are for.

@Grot
They could charge him for a license, or grant a free one for charity use. It can even be $1 and other considerations, thus still protect their IP.

@TG16_IS_BAE No need to explain, you already did. That comment just confirms it.

I hope you find some peace in this life eventually.

@TG16_IS_BAE Deciding to be a decent person is not being afraid of anything. Instead of being so hurt and scared yourself, maybe trying being nice. That you think there must be fear to get people to behave, makes me wonder about you.

@Damo Which of those sets have higher margins, you think?
You really think 10 year olds are the target market for technic?

@tylerryan79 When the platform changes so drastically? Yeah, you at least fix issues like this. God forbid QA be done at all.

Isn't reusing the emulator the very definition of being lazy?

That applies in the EU.

If you lie about where you are that goes out the window. You could even be convicted of a crime.

@RupeeClock Why would they need to? You entered into an agreement in the USA or Japan, and represented yourself as able to do that. If you want your contracts to be under European law you would need to enter into contracts in Europe.

If you buy a home in the USA as a EU citizen, your rights and responsibilities are under US law, not EU laws. They can sell your address the next second.

@RupeeClock Which is why the terms for those accounts will say you have to live there or that these are contracts under the laws of that place. They don't check it, but it means you entered into the contract in bad faith and the GPDR doesn't protect you from yourself.

@jump Odds are contact tracing would have real trouble identifying cases from theaters. It would just be considered community acquired. Even if you found a small cluster, it would be hard to determine that they all met at that one place unless we made it mandatory to have a covid app on your phone or something.

Either way I have no interest in movie theaters until I get a vaccine.

@LinktotheFuture Depends on what you buy and where. $20 or less can easily reached by one person if they order a fancy sandwich, nicer side and a soda.

@SMUGSLOTH69 I am talking about physical games.

@RupeeClock I agree they should use larger carts. When the game costs twice as much as on other consoles, they can easily afford to use a proper size cartridge.

Games that don't get a physical release, to my mind simply aren't released.

As someone nearing midlife I have more money to spend on games than time to spend on them, it often seems. I find it takes me months to finish games as I play maybe a couple hours a week. So ruling out games that publishers or developers don't want me to play them is just a natural thing to do.

@SMUGSLOTH69 If only the games themselves came on some kind of storage media, so that they wouldn't take up so much space. Can you imagine such a thing?

So uselessly small and costs about the same as a fast food meal.
How generous.

@MisterKorman Had they answered the interesting interview questions we could discuss that.

Instead we got some manager who clearly doesn't know what is going on or isn't allowed to say. Some references to PR and some total non-committal answers.

He could have just mentioned removal of OpenGL in favor of Vulkan, that was one massive change. He answered a question he didn't know in a classic liars manner "Oh there are just so many, it would be hard to pick one". He could have had some canned answers from PR or approved by them for the obvious questions.

@HeyItsFlapjack Really?
This interview was terrible. He answered no questions and I am pretty doubtful this guy did any work on the game based on his answers. He couldn't name one thing that changed between IDtech6 and 7. Just name one thing, that's all he had to do.

The crying about people deciding what to spend their own money on is pathetic.

I and many others will only buy physical games. That's just how we choose to spend our money.

If you guys want to buy me a digital copy I will be glad to take it.

@doctorhino I was looking forward to it. Without a physical release I will wait until I get a PS5.

@LUIGITORNADO What does any of that have to do with putting it on a cart?

No physical, No sale.

That sega hasn't sold one of these shows how incompetent their management is.
Use an off the shelf SoC, software emulator, include a 3 in 1 cart and start selling reprints. Free money

Is it going to be a walker? Oh wow a geriatric footballer, how exciting.

@HotGoomba___Rebrand I am excited for VR sam&max, I will admit.

@Bl4ckb100dOn the same one? no. On ones close enough that it doesn't really matter? Sure.

@Bl4ckb100d The parts list told us that.
This is yet another off the shelf SoC and probably an opensource emulator with some ROMs. I wonder if NIntendo dumped carts or if someone will catch them selling roms downloaded off the internet again.

@HotGoomba___Rebrand Compared to the originals they were a big let down.

@Kimyonaakuma I am betting most of it is on Dolphin or similar emulators.

Either make a new game or redo one of the good sam and max, not this 3d bull

@Retro_Player_77
No the chef only has so much time in his day. He can either add my favorite to the menu or something else.

More and more publishers are moving to this model. It means they make maximum money for minimum investment. I get the economic reasoning, but it hurts gaming overall. Imagine if instead of skyrim rereleases we actually got new games that weren't freemium mobile crapfests.

Why bother making new games if people will pay for the same thing over and over?

If ever? They will turn them off as soon as they can.
They have no incentive to leave them up once they have your money.

@Parmandur There is an objective difference. Longer time between frames impact your ability to react. Everyone can see 24fps vs 60fps

@NathanTheAsian The preference can be subjective sure, but objectively low frame rates look worse

@Parmandur Complete bull. There is loads of difference.

@Agriculture The idea was lock-in. They didn't want you buying more systems and splitting where you bought games, making the controllers incompatible even if just by making the port a different shape or flopping a few pins was the order of the day.

@Parmandur Not at all. You can go much lower and see a video, that doesn't mean 24fps is enjoyable.

@NathanTheAsian 32 bit era? Is this some kind of joke?
Son, I am disappoint. Yes, we dealt with NTSC connections for NES, those days are gone. Low framerates suck.

If nintendo can't be bothered to fix their games they could at least give us a discount on them.

So it's just a pokemon ripoff?

@NathanTheAsian You want to play a 7 year old game via streaming, but think you won't look back at old games in the future? What ?
