@stealcase @star_sbms It’s been an issue for years now, because people would use that part of the ToS to discredit new platforms, or to claim it grants them certain rights it doesn’t. And a lot of people fall for it every time. Like c’mon, do you think Nintendo would be posting if this were true?

(@Kmega4) reported
@lafemmetopaz @PTK_BL4M But those folks have to look at reality. Nothing wrong with calling out Xbox on short comings, Nintendo has dropped broken pokemon game charging &70 on old hardware, Sony has had a bad start to the year until recent news. Xbox just has a bad 2 weeks it won't last. Big 3 issues

@funnywubbylubb1 @MilesStudio64 You can get away with worse at nintendo, hell POSTAL 1 got released for switch. Just console licensing problems + ESRB rating fees are probably holding PT off of consoles.

@GameBoomBoomNow Super weird. I don't know if it was a Square Enix or Sony issue... I feel like it was a sony issue though... Didn't have any issues finding the bundle on the Nintendo website (I didn't buy it on switch, yet...lol)

@ArchGotta @t3rav0lt @Dexerto Yet nintendo is the only company that issues permanent fines. People pirate sony, microsoft, apple, etc products frequently yet this is mostly unheard of

(@HollowLeif) reported
@Chezi34 Well there are other problems too I think that licensed music would be more egregious in more serious franchises on top of other problems with Illumination making more Nintendo movies

@GrantAlpaugh @LolOverruled lets be honest literally nobody cares about that tho. nintendo is fine. he and the others could have made five times as much and it wouldnt have affected nintendo in the slightests. theyve shown that they have no issue losing out on sales and making games completely unavailable

@BillaVGC @playpokemon That’s the weirdest part. We never had any issue with online stuff in the past. We even played the first 3 months of 2020 in Sword and Shield with the change to Nintendo Switch just fine until the pandemic. Why are they doing this now? And why this has to be the direction?

@BoltBlades12 @Milecitos @smg4official Well, pretty sure mario and luigi never got changed cus they were already like good enough ig Also, the funny thing is smg4 had been doing content for OVER A DECADE yet nintendo literally had no problem with it, if he would actually get a dmca strike that could’ve happen sooner

So... Did everyone just forget that the hacker who owes Nintendo millions of dollars' group would brick peoples Switches and force people to pay them money to fix it or... do we just assume Nintendo Bad Hacker Good out of pure principle

@RyanLudwick_ @AlucardC99 Nintendo isn't expanding their service to PC or mobile. Xbox is trying to reach gamers on PC, mobile PC and cloud which conflicts with Netflix who's predominantly on PC and mobile and TV's maybe cloud. Xbox is a direct competitor to them in that space PS and Nintendo aren't

@jimbo2742 @ceomommygaming @OrdinaryGamers My problem is this entitled attitude towards people's work and the dubious logic and reasoning pirates use to justify it. This isn't about defending Nintendo, or companies, or money lost.

@CStallion619 @ModernVintageG Agreed. The problem with cloud saves is that you cannot see what is backed up. Dropbox had this feature (and versioning) in 2004 for FREE. I mean wtf is Nintendo doing. They implement the bare minimum and call it a day.

@GivenNameEric @playpokemon @NintendoAmerica Interesting, i breed a lot in this game and haven't had it crash. The only crashes i had were hatching in big cities but that was before the update that fixed that I breed and hatch in that area where you move the giant olive since you can just hold left and go in circles

On one hand, it's screwed up that a guy is now forced to cough up money to Nintendo at all times On the other, why'd he think making a piracy service (with ransomware, no less) for the company known for being protective of .ISOs from 2003 was a good idea?

@cullenmon There is no reason Nintendo couldn't deactivate the token on their side and issue a new one

@Anthony_Milko_ @NintendoAmerica @SteelWoolStudio You had to be there on day 1 of the PS4/5/PC release. The graphics weren’t the problem, it was everything else.

(@NintStuff) reported
The inexcusability of the Switch and modern era Nintendo: 1.) Joycon Drift 2.) Games 3.) Excessive input lag in console mode 4.) Apparently now if you leave it 6 months it probably/might not turn on? 5.) Anything else?

@DgtlButterfly_ @InsideTheCase @stopskeletons Nobody has this coming, and definitely not someone fixing a problem Nintendo intentionally causes.

either i buy at an inflated price online(no money to nintendo), or i pirate it(no money to nintendo). unless the specific game i want to play is on the extremely limited selection of games offered on the online service, but even then, you dont physically own those.

@000Arcadius000 @PeterOvo5 Microsoft does well on PC. Issue is their own incompetence at handling their ips. Bethesda acquisition I was fine with. Activision is too large to not make an argument about the monopoly part. Technically Nintendo is still the king at game sales.

That being said, we do have Nintendo Switch Online Services, I literally pay for it every year. Or what exactly is this Nintendo Switch Online Service that support is talking about ? We may be missing something here or this could well just be all a misunderstanding.

Xbox's issues is only down to themselves. Both Sony and Nintendo had bad generations and both bounced back and doing better than ever.
