Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons Officially Have A Pay-To-Press Button

I’m far off defending Nintendos action at this point and this just adds to the pile.

However those emulation comments really piss me off. We have a German saying that would translate to the English have your cake and eat it too, I believe?

Just don’t give Nintendo money and ignore their current games (tbh there’s so few interesting non S2 upgrade games anyhow…). And there are so many platforms and games you do not need their shitty practices and run out of games.

It’s a major hipocrisy to damn them and then go that route.

They love their games and want to hate on it anyway. I really don’t get the mindset.

  Is it possible people love playing games while resisting being turned into pay pigs by the company that publishes/produces the game/console?

Just don’t give Nintendo money and ignore their current games

Why should we? We can enjoy the games and ignore Nintendo’s console. Why should we? We can enjoy the games and ignore Nintendo’s console. Why should we stop enjoying something that we like?

It’s a major hipocrisy to damn them and then go that route (for current still being sold games, I am not talking about retro or even Nintendo online!).

And why is is hypocrisy for still wanting to play these games, enjoying them and emulating them? Most what you read is people complaining (or as you call it ‘‘damn them’’) about the prices point, Nintendo’s behavior and their policies. The exclusive games are pretty great and that shows with the fan-base and the amount of people emulating them. If the prices were decent, they had normal behavior and policies. More people would’ve bought the console and less likely to emulate.

But Nintendo decided to be one of the greedy and ‘evil’ ones. I mean, they went after Palworld, emulation makers and random people for ‘naming their supermarket Super Mario’: Nintendo Loses ‘Super Mario’ Trademark Fight With Grocery Store. They could’ve just collaborated with the supermarket and enjoy the double marketing but no.

Your comment just sounds that you do not like people who emulate because ‘‘these people complain about something valid, refuse to pay money but still enjoying gaming’’.

  Well of course you can, as some are doing. The point being you can hardly complain of being treated bad if you freely choose rules and morale on your own, why shouldn’t the other side too? It’s a morality thing.
  
  ‘I’m behaving like an ass, but they’re not allowed to’.
  
  I still agree thst Nintendo took a few bad turns and that corporations are inherently evil.
  
  And lastly, if you refuse to pay you should morally drive the point home by refusing the product. It makes sense and hits harder on multiple levels commercially instead of adding to the hype and everything by still using it. Nevermind the legality.

Nah. Emulate, enjoy the games you want and don’t give them any money.

It’s one of the small instances we have the upper hand to the corporate overlords. Let’s take advantage of it.

They take advantage of you in every single aspect they can. They respect nothing, so… don’t respect them back, pirate them!

  If you don’t fight for your rights it will not get better, so it’s kinda short sighted.
  
  Or illegaly copy and play and fight, but please do it.
