Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 Switch Physical Version Requires Downloads

@TheSovryn I am not against buying digital games, per se. My collection of games I've purchased on Steam, for example, is gigantic. There is a big difference between what Steam is and what Nintendo has done, however. With Steam, my games are available on every new computer I buy for as long as Valve stays in business, and the games work or can be made to work on new PC's. With Nintendo, my Virtual Console purchases are gone forever. Sure, I can download all my digital games before the Nintendo shops close, but if my memory cards die, I'm SOL. And the games won't be re-downloadable on the next Nintendo console.

Re: Nintendo Switch Is Not "Technically Capable" Of Running Call Of Duty Games, Says CMA

I don't really care whether Microsoft buys Activision or not, but the whole basis for blocking the sale just seems flimsy to me. They are acting like Call of Duty is like, the ultimate video game that nothing else can compare to. The series sells a lot of copies, but it's not like it's the only first-person shooter out there. Activision doesn't have a monopoly on first-person shooters. It seems like if Sony is worried about Microsoft making the series Xbox-exclusive, it would behoove them to COMPETE with their own first-person shooter.
