@OorWullie it not as much because EA, but more because when they do release a game it is many times an inferior port with missing parts sold at full price. Yes a certain downgrading might be necessary for some games when ported from a different console to Switch but the blatant slashing of features (as in Fifa) on the premise that it would not work on Switch is disappointing.
@maruse yeah, that is not going to happen. It looks like Capcom is still set in its old ways, releasing a port of an older games and then complaining about low sales and pulling support because people are not prepared to pay once again for a game they already have played/bought years earlier.
@nitrolink really, has it though? We've had I am Setsuna, recently Lost Sphear and now DQ builders which are decent games. But where are the big releases, like DQ X, SQ XI, any FF that is not a spinoff, Secret of Mana collection, .... Even Octopath has still nog release date and that games has been hyped for months now.
@tourjeff I do hope so because i love that game. Still those comments always feel a little bit like blackmail to me: "Buy this game of ours and we will think about releasing others if we make enough money" Yes a company has to test the water before jumping in but some of them have been "testing the water" for quite some time already while professing support without actually having anything to show
@retro_player_22 yeah, let's just hope they don't just make a lazy port (li.e. demo DQ heroes). Let us pray they make the same effort as panic button and bethesda did. Localise DQX for pete's sake !!! i'm willing to fork out to play DQ MMO as long as they keep the price fair.
@The_Pixel_King Very farfetched but it would be lovely if they could relinquish their hold on the rights of Scalebound, so the developer could finish the game for Switch.
@tourjeff unfortunately one has little to do with the other. Even when a game is succesful on Switch that does not mean that more recent games will be ported.
