Mario? Screw that guy. I’d tip for Luigi, though.
Just a small indie company.
I hear they started off in their parents garage
Piracy is free
If we can find a way to pirate these…
Give it some time, we will.
Necessity is the mother of invention
We will
It is, but someone has to bear the cost of purchasing and cracking it

I pirated totk and it resulted in me buying a switch.
It was a full time job to play it emulated, i barely have time to play it normally.
It kept crashing and shit was bug ridden.
What are you on about? I’m playing it just fine on my potato quality PC.
Just because you have a different experience, doesn’t mean someone who’s struggled with it running is wrong.
So fuck off and go bother someone else because it ran like a damn nightmare and i bought a switch because it sucked ass as it crashed every 10 minutes.
lol but seriously this is the first time I’m not buying a Nintendo console on launch in a long time. Their prices here in Canada were already absurd but this gen is just unreal.
I have a 500 dollar GameStop gift card I was planning on putting towards this thing, but these prices are ridiculous. I’ll just get my wife a mug instead.
Could be worse, you could be here in the US and get to pay an idiot fascist tax on top of it!
Custom tip amount.
-$79.99
I mean this is a shit post but like Nintendo isn’t really the “tip” type of company or microtransactions type of company.
They’re the milking the shit out of their franchises and keeping premium prices on their games type of company.
Yeah they Japanese. Tipping is seen as an insult over in Japan.
Eh, it’s more that it’s just not in the culture. Most people would just decline it rather than be offended.
Oh they see it as an insult? Good.
Selling a tech demo on top of the astronomical cost of the system. Jesus
Gamers on Lemmy don’t even know why they’re mad at Nintendo honestly
deleted by creator
Don’t forget, you see way less Nintendo gaming videos and streamers. Because they are greedy and want a cut of what is made. They’re not happy with the good word of mouth, they NEED to get paid.
Also look at this shit with PalWorld. Working to retroactively patten very basic game mechanics because a franchise that refused to evolve got beat by the new kids.

You know this isn’t real right?
The 80$ MSRP for the game is real though
I choose not to play
15%? 20% is the new minimum suggested tip nowadays
0% is gaining favor
The 15 is typically an 18.
At that price, my tip is zero.
My tip is -$20
When Mario Galaxy dropped as the Wii’s launch title in 2007, it cost $50. Adjust for inflation, and that comes out to $77 in 2025. Why tf are people clutching their pearls over the price? Why are people acting like Covid and inflation didn’t happen? Nintendo is staying right in that same price range it always has. The bitching and whining needs to stop.
Now adjust our salaries to inflation please because they’re lagging behind.
This is up to you, to be frank. You have to apply to jobs, negotiate and haggle. Your current employer will never give you a raise unless you have an offer from somewhere else, and even then they often won’t out of some weird principle. You gotta do a bit of job hopping
Wages have stayed stagnant during that time, so it might not have gotten much more expensive in comparison to other stuff, it has gotten more expensive compared to what we have left over after paying for necessities.
Why are all you poors mad that things you could afford before have increased their prices to match inflation while your wages haven’t?
How I’m reading your comment, btw
So tired of seeing the same “inflation!!” BS trotted out, as if buying power has remained the same. It hasn’t, at all.
I really don’t understand the anti Nintendo thing. They want money? So do all game companies. They sue people pirating? So do the others. They are all corporations, none are your friends. The weirdest thing is the steam people who are convinced that THEIR corporation and THEIR billionaire Gabe is the only good billionaire on earth. He’s not.

also literally wrote proton
It’s getting weird how often I find myself saying this… But Valve mostly took already existing software and built a wrapper around it, integrated into their platform. I love what they did, but the credit for literally writing it goes to all the people who spent years building wine and related software.
deleted by creator
I’m pretty sure it is a wrapper in the way it looks up game-specific information to apply specific tweaks to how the game is ran and how the prefix is set up… But it is also true that it does also include a modified version of wine, so the terminology is difficult to pin down.
That said, I don’t mean it in a disingenuous way, at least I don’t think it is such. I do believe valve is often attributed excessive credit for proton’s creation, but I don’t think they did anything wrong, much less “just nab it”. Open-source is open-source, and I’d imagine people who put work towards making wine viable are happy that Valve brought it to the mainstream.
By evil company standards that’s pretty benign
Like Hershey uses slave labor, Chiquita helped transport weapons for paramilitary groups, nestle well we have all heard about what nestle does.
Just about everything you listed that they do can be summed up as they vehemently protect their IP that while they are overkill they just aren’t even close to other video game companies like blizzard who protect sexual harassers

It’s their level of aggression towards fan projects that sets them apart I think.
The force streamers and people who cover Nintendo to pay them, because word of mouth isn’t enough. They need money.
They have and continue to directly or aid in the effort to patten basic game mechanics.
They refuse to participate in cross play functionality often.
They kill fan projects because fuck you for liking our games and bringing more attention to them I guess.
They lock games away forever, not rereleasing and killing mods aggressively. Actively killing gaming history.
A company doesn’t have to be my friend. But when they are actively attacking people who express love for their product you eventually stop loving the product.
It’s the way they go after fan projects like rom hacks, the way they continuously rerelease 30 year old gameswith minor tweaks for full price, their obsession with destroying emulators, the fact that all of their IP is exclusive to their console, their games rarely go on sale, and their prices are far too high considering their hardware is like 3 generations behind the curve.
They been selling a TON of overpriced garbage as of late
Blasphemy!I will keep giving money to companies that select good policies and praxis. It is alarming that it only happens when companies are young and that they turn into multi national demonic entities when they grow past a certain level for some reason, but at that point we can only sigh and but a rubber band around the growth and start cutting off the oxygen supply so we can saw it off
I wouldn’t dream of sending a tip to Nintendo or any other large company, but I did send a tip to SureAI (game devs, nothing to do with the bullshit we’re currently calling ‘AI’) after playing Enderal. One of the best games I’ve ever played, zero ads or microtransaction BS, completely free. It was literally just a passion project by an indie dev crew. $60, cuz it’s as good as any AAA game I’ve played. They earned the fuck out of every cent.
BRING ME A NICE CRISP PIECE OF MEAT!
