      Loud person who makes their entire personality disliking Nintendo tells you not to buy Nintendo without highlighting any good reasons, just focusing on easy to hate on reasons.

        are… are ‘‘easy to hate reasons’’ somehow inherently ‘‘not good reasons’’?

          I wouldn’t say that no. But they are being used to whip people up into a fury effectively with out sharing all the facts. That’s why the video is ridiculously biased. Because if you came at it from a balanced perspective most people aren’t irrational. Nintendos actions while shit, all largely make sense.

              Yeah, thank you for your comment. I don’t know if I expressed myself the clearest when I type things that I struggle with getting what I mean into words sometimes.

                I am 5 comments deep in a thread asking for TL;DW and not a single mention of what was actually said in the vid, let alone direct direct critisism of it.

      This video has been doing the rounds but if I remember correctly they are overly negative and are obviously not the target for Nintendo and have no intention of buying the Switch even before all the controversy.

        Ive been a nintendo fan my entire childhood and early adult life. I would say i am (at least clasically) nintendos target audience. I agree with the sentiments in the video. Nintendo is doing a lot of shitty consumer hostile things and people forking up ever increasing prices for decade old games will only validate their business practices and quality will further decay (like the games industry in general). That is essentially what he is saying. I will not buy the switch 2 (this video did not change my stance either way)

        Granted his overly negative rant was a bit tiresome, it felt like he was impersonating the angry nintendo nerd without the comedy. But that just feels like any other yt video rant these days

          But most of these “consumer hostile” things aren’t really “consumer hostile” though. They’re just “not giving away stuff for free”.

          By that reasoning, literally everything that requires the consumer to pay is “consumer hostile”.

          What are these “consumer hostile” things specifically?

          I agree with the overall negativity Nintendo has brought upon themselves but videos like this are, like you say, tiresome and disingenuous from the creator.

      Nintendo bad, so don’t support Nintendo.

      That’s about it. I didn’t finish it either, but I heard the rant and figured I wasn’t missing much by not finishing.
