Comment on Should I buy a Switch 2 despite owning an OLED?
NihilsineNefas@slrpnk.net 2 weeks agoThe Nintendo fandom is unmatched even in their ability to take an absolute shafting from a company that would throw them down a river at the hint of emulating instead of paying full price for a 20 year old game.
Of course this is coming from a guy that still owns a working gameboy color, so I can understand at least a little how the nostalgia and the ability of “Their old hardware was always so good” carrying a lot of weight of their newest product.
This one that feels either overpriced for minor incremental upgrades being labeled as a whole new console (compare the ps1 to ps2 and you’ll see how little they’ve changed in the switch 1, to OLED, to switch 2.) Or actively enshittified to scrape more money out of their fans wallets, in my opinion.

I don’t really understand it. They actually fall on their swords for a king who doesn’t even know they exist, and couldn’t care less whether they did or didn’t.

But if people put about 10 seconds of thought into what they buy (and why/why not) we wouldn’t feel the need to condemn them for making poor purchase decisions.
Like continuing to give money to a corporation even when there’s actual mountains of evidence that said corporation is actually evil, or at the very least incredibly amoral. Like people continuing to buy Microsoft and Sony products even though they have been making some of the most user-unfriendly decisions in the past few years.
