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.

15%? 20% is the new minimum suggested tip nowadays

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.
SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
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.

Gamers on Lemmy don’t even know why they’re mad at Nintendo honestly
doomcanoe@sh.itjust.works 8 hours ago
A community, forged by a shared desire to see software and technology be free, open, and driven by passion.
With members who usually find their way here fleeing the profit driven enshittification that so often stifles this pursuit.
And for some unknown reason, they are mad at a company that pursues aggressive litigation against free and open passion projects that were the very embodiment of the community’s shared values…
Well that’s just a fucking mystery if I’ve ever seen one!

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.
Paradachshund@lemmy.today 12 hours ago
It’s their level of aggression towards fan projects that sets them apart I think.
Rin@lemm.ee 10 hours ago
It’s not that they want money, Nintendo is mainly anticonsumerist, but they’re also a terrible, evil company. Here’s a couple examples why i think so off the top of my head:
- Locked down hardware. Well, at least they try to lock it down as much as possible.
- Insane prices for hardware and games. (50 quid for base Animal Crossing fucked me off when I realised that the DLC costs 50 quid fucking more, i returned my Switch).
- Shitty customer service (look up joy con drift)
- Lawsuits left and right:
- DMCA to strike down FOSS emulators because they included a 16 byte decryption key that’s literally public knowledge at this point. Funnily enough, they use a similar FOSS emulator in their own products.
- Sued the small company that owns Pal World because they included some of their “patents”. We all know that’s bullshit.
- Sued a journalist for writing for a blog about piracy and fucked his life despite him having no involvement in any of the development. (he was forced to take a deal to avoid them making things worse.)
- Sued a guy who did in fact enable piracy. That’s fair. Taking 30% of his income for the rest of his life is fucking evil.
- Fucked over streamers playing the game on release day because they were in an earlier timezome than japan…
- Fucked over creators playing their games with an emulator.
- Fucked over creators on all platforms in general for literally no reason.
- Took down many MANY fan projects because they could.
- They got mad at event organisers and pulled out last minute because the organisers used a mod to allow internet multiplayer, which caused the official Smash tourney to be cancelled during covid…
meanwhile Valve:
- makes the hardware as open as possible:
- also literally wrote proton
- also feel free to use any input device to play games
- also your game console is a fully functional computer you can do whatever the fuck you want with.
- also, your screen broke? Here, let me help you fix it.
- charges reasonable amounts:
- 30% from the developer is industry standard
- has frequent sales
- orange box costs like a quid on sale and the lastest halflife costs about 20 on sale.
- you can “return” games if you don’t like them.
- first class customer service.
- got a guy arrested for hacking and leaking their source code, which is fair.
- allows and enourages modding.
- massive supporter and contributor of tournaments of their games
- allows the use of their IPs in transformative ways (3rd party games, sfm, etc).
but yeah. They’re clealy the same thing. no differences whatsoever.
BussyCat@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
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
TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
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.

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
nectar45@lemmy.zip 12 hours ago
They been selling a TON of overpriced garbage as of late
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
Yeah. Valve’s 30% cut is greed. So is their (alleged) anticompetitive behavior of forcing price parity with other stores (aka you can price things cheaper than Steam regularly).
I mean, I like their stores. I like most of their behavior, but I am also waiting for the hammer to drop, and everyone should.

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.
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.

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.
superkret@feddit.org 2 hours ago
Thanks for making me aware of Enderal. It looks absolutely awesome.
I’ll try it out and if it’s half as good as you say, I’ll tip them twice what I paid for Skyrim (which won’t be $60 but I’ve never paid that much for a game).AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 9 hours ago

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.
Mac@mander.xyz 15 hours ago
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
OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 15 hours ago
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.
tauren@lemm.ee 15 hours ago
Now adjust our salaries to inflation please because they’re lagging behind.
tormeh@discuss.tchncs.de 14 hours ago
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

There’s at least one die hard Nintendo fan out there that’s gonna custom tip $100+ because being a Nintendo fan is their personality. Nintendo should be selling them special loyalty edition consoles for $10k or something and give the rest of us a break.
superkret@feddit.org 2 hours ago
The loyalty edition is just a standard console with a sticker on it.
proper@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
is that 25% on top of tariff or msrp?
secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 14 hours ago
As long as there’s no micro transactions then yeah that makes sense pay a premium for premium games cuz Nintendo makes really good games. My problem is that they almost never have sales when they do they’re like 10% off if that and the price never goes down for their older games or they don’t even sell their order games that’s the issue
BenLeMan@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
Mario? Screw that guy. I’d tip for Luigi, though. Luigi winks
