@Arnie4490 I contenplated your reply last night and I have taken the critism on board, I also apologise if I offended you. As much as I would prefer that someone with a vested interest in gaming was responsible for this job, I should not have presumed in such a way about this person.
I do still stick to the opinion with regards to not caring if AI or a real person does this job, but I will try not to add stupid comments with it in future.

This whole cancel culture is so bad, I really am glad I don't use social media. When I think back to my youth, 70's/80's and what would have been cancelled within society then. Wow I think if I even mentioned the type of subjects that would have been cancelled then my comment would get cancelled by nintendolife.
The same with regards to many commentors in the recent microsoft lay offs story, they say 'I will never buy anything microsoft again'. I mean I agree that it's probably not a good idea to go chucking money at them, but hang on you might be cutting your nose off to spite your face with that comment. Especially as it probably doesn't matter what you buy nowadays it's probalby stained with something that people wouldn't like. So your probably selling your soul to the devil no matter what you do.
I like the principles that people have more often but I hope they don't let it imapct themselves too much, because take it from an old person you probably will impact yourself far more than the person you are trying to do it too.

Re: "It Will Have A Chilling Effect On Game Design" - EU Group Responds To 'Stop Killing Games'

It's sad that this subject is dividing gamers, you can see this in this comment section. The whole situation boils down to poor regulation, online gaming is a newer thing and therefore the old consumer rights do not cover the individual situations that online gaming has bought to the table. Governments across the world should have investigated this and brought in rules that both consumers and games maker would both act fairly. Currently we have games companies doing as they wish because there is nothing to stop them.

So trusting that countries will regulate this in a way that works is plain stupidity, hell they should have done it years ago!

Re: "It's Heartbreaking" - The Pokémon Company Tech VP Joins Industry In Criticising Microsoft Layoffs

I blame microsoft and sony for the where the industry in right now. They have pushed the costs of making games into astronomical levels with the drive towards realism, adding very little more value to the industry on the whole by never innovating. Now with the popularity of games like 'Grow a garden' and the other chuck away experiences that are churned out on Roblux you can see the games industry execs running scared that they need to realine for the future.

Re: Furukawa's Defence Of Game-Key Cards Ain't All That Convincing

dew12333

My only issue with game key cards are that they are confusng when you have several switches, and that they have put keycards on games like Fortnite which is stupid. I personally see these as good in comparrison to digital, and not comparable to physical releases. I hope they are careful to market them for what they are and not mislead people.

Re: Mario-Inspired 2D Platformer Secures A Switch 2 Release On Kickstarter

I think we should just change this wording of marioesque, zeldaesque to cheap marketing led copies of games you love.

I mean I do respect that any of these games could be fun to play, and offer something unique in certain things they put into the game. But I feel the games industry is going through a similar phase to what films did a few years ago. Where they had some success which led to getting bloated on sequels, remakes, and copycats.
Not exactly helped with this stupid kickstarter idea.

Re: Nintendo May Record Video And Audio From GameChat Sessions On Switch 2

@-wc- "Parents, don't buy your kids the camera. Nintendo, password lock adding friends on kids' profiles.
Adult users, block people if they bother you."

Do you not have children?
All online restrictions for kids is useless, if you have them on then you can't do anything, and if you turn them off then they get everything. There maybe complicated systems were you can control what is turned off and on, but these are uncommon and very difficult to set up effectively because there is always an excemption where restrictions you think you have set up don't work for everything. For instance if I turn off voice chat for the switch I would fully expect that it could opened on games like Fortnite/overwatch. Plus as kids get older they learn how to work round things.

I beleive Nintendo is a leader in trying to keep kids spaces safe, in most cases the parental controls are set up by manufactuerers in order to tick a box and not to do anything effectively. As much as I apprecaite my privacy in life I aslo apprecaite mine and my children being protected. Plus I gave up on privacy a long time ago, too much small print and hidden details you don't quite understand in all those terms and conditions.

Addition - Yes I do understand that, in some ways, makes me a coroporate gladhand. (great terminology, I may use it myself somewhere)
