If nintendo wants to control hardware in my home, then they can pay for it. My switch, I will do what I want with.

Sure, if you want to see Nintendo die.
Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

@GannonBanned Then you explain cost of media.

This wouldn't be an issue if these companies didn't try to get $60 for nearly decade old games.
It would also need to launch sameday.

@GannonBanned Why is that a capitalism problem?
Charge me $5 more. Tell me why, it's fine.

If anything that's worse than incompetence, that's malice.

@Friendly Oh no, I insulted a group I belong to and another group I belong to. Truly I am worse than any monster that ever lived. I would say the same thing to your face, would that make you feel better?

@Friendly Not when you want to play the game after the patch servers are gone. Not when you paid for a physical release and got cheated.

COVID didn't cause this, stupid managers did and a dumber public that goes along with it.

@the_beaver Which honestly shouldn't be allowed. Day one patches are just evidence the game was shipped too early. Better to delay a few weeks and get it in the game.

@Dman10 Yup, just tried again. I have the game on disk and the DLC is gone.

Either way, the PS3 launched in 2006, I seriously doubt in 2026 or 2040 you will be able to download the games. I bet my physical disks will still work.

@MrMichaelJames I don't need an old TV for mario and my basement is huge. If we switch to all digital games, I will simply stop playing new games. I have no interest in renting games, which is what digital sales are.
The minute I can resell digital games, buy used games and the company is required to either remove DRM or provide those services for 100 years I will change my mind.

@Dman10 If the game has been removed from the store, you may not download it again. I have this exact issue with a couple games. For example Burnout Paradise city removed motorcycles and others.

@MrMichaelJames I still play my copy of Mario, Duck Hunt and World Class Track Meet. It was a 3 in 1 cartridge for the NES, that shipped with my first NES. That NES died, but it works with my replacement.
The games take no resources to continue to operate. Your electronic games stop working or we have to keep powering servers to keep them around. The license checks will one day fail.

@JimmySpades I have NES games. That's more than 20 years.
The NES I have however isn't the first one I owned. In 20 years I may very well have the same games but not the same switch.

I lost PS3 download games, the drive died and when I replaced it those games weren't in the store anymore. I lost a lot of DLC that way.

@Grot The unemployment rate says otherwise. As does my 401k. As does my company's books. Not all of us are on disability.

@JimmySpades I want to play it again in 20 years. The download services will be long gone.

I will buy this once they make a real physical version. Otherwise no loss.

@xpownz Elections have consequences. You are suffering the same as us in the USA.

@xpownz Tell your friends to buy more units. Any country buying over 10 million would probably be listed.

Sega should have rereleased the nomad and given away an adapter for gamegear games with it.

The games are still out there, still work, and current tech would make these incredibly cheap to produce.

@empsolo Super easy to replace with a modern panel.

@Kalmaro You misunderstand. Facts are simply facts. If you can't understand reality you can't change it.

Read some history, violence is what happens when the government abdicates its role in society.

@J_dz24 Please learn the English language then come back and we can discuss. What I said was clear as day to any English speaker.
I never said the statistics were lies, that this common phrase confuses you outs you as an interloper.

@Kalmaro You don't understand reality, so your comments make sense now. Have a nice day.

@J_dz24 Lying with statistics is still lying.

@Kalmaro Then you haven't been listening. Riots are what you get when people have no other recourse.

@Taarna Learn to read. I never said that, I said whataboutism proves who you are.
Few bad cops? If that was true they would have reported the others and it wouldn't be a constant problem.

@Kalmaro What I am getting at is they haven't arrested the lot of them. This riot is not due to one incident.

@Paraka I would suspect actually being decent. If there were decent cops they wouldn't have these problems. At my work if someone cheats or steals, never had a death yet, the employees will report this person and get them fired.

@NintendoByNature Which officer? The one who killed the man? His accomplices at the scene or back at the station?

If you are involved in a crime and someone dies, but you didn't pull the trigger you will find yourself charged as well. Why are his accomplices not also being charged?

@GodOfLard What naming calling? Labeling something what it is isn't name calling.

@Taarna Whataboutism isn't making you look better. Try not being a terrible human being, failing that go away.

@Kalmaro This isn't about one event. This isn't about one cop. For starters why haven't all the cops at the scene been arrested? They are all accomplices to a criminal act. Once that happen we can talk about their accomplices back at the office.

@Taarna Slavery is morally wrong. Your parents have failed you.

@BispoSnake So how would you have dealt with WW2?
Please tell us how exactly non-violence would have worked against that kind of system.

Nintendo is just making it more famous, they should have been quiet and few would have known.

If it's a real physical release I will buy, otherwise no thanks

@DanteSolablood If it was good hard gorilla glass, I sure wouldn't. None of my phones have one.

@Zenszulu I wish nintendo sold an adult version of the switch with a glass screen. Installing a cover isn't too bad, but I really shouldn't have to.

@CurryPowderKeg79 The solution to that is charge $5-$10 more. To get people to pay that though you might have to release modern games, and not just keep re-releasing old stuff.

No real physical releases, so no thanks.

@Zidentia Whatever it takes to make you feel better about being wrong.

@Zidentia No it isn't. You are using words and have no idea what they mean.

The term hacking predates the definition you have given it. If you are as old as you claim, then this is just pathetic.
The fact that you mix phreaking and FTP is interesting. Not much overlap. Also unauthorized access isn't hardware hacking. Not by any definition.
So as far as I can tell you are a liar and a pretty poor one at that.

Too bad it will never happen.

@Zidentia Look kiddo, these terms existed before you. That's hardware hacking. Like you said to cut something up, which is exactly what he did here.

@PickledKong64 No that's hardware hacking.
Kiddo, these terms were used before you saw your first NIntendo.

@grewupnintendo They will fix them for free. You only need two sets, so you can use one while the other is being repaired.

A win for nintendo, a loss for everyone else including all of us.

Binding arbitration is BS and the supreme court should never have allowed it. There is no meaningful meeting of the minds in click wrap contracts.

@PickledKong64 Why are you surprised he used the correct word?
He is a hardware hacker. He hacked hardware together.

@Dringo Again, you are addressing comments no one made. Please seek help.

@Gamehendge That's not inflation.
Inflation is due to the value of money going down. This is not that.

What's the issue?

They bought an item and are reselling it. If you don't like the price don't buy it. More will be made.

Scalping tickets to a show sucks, since they aren't making new ones everyday. This might be your only chance to see a band or play.

I don't see the issue here.
