Who can stop them at this point?

Malding troon.

Why do you know so much about a “nig gay discord”?

Nah I don’t know, because I don’t hang out in black gay pedophile discords like you.

It was a monopoly because Nintendo came out of the 1983 crash as the leader of the home console market, and was able to dictate terms as far as what video games would pass muster, and how console games got published. They created their own competition for their SNES CD addon because they were trying to shut their then partner (Sony) out of the games market for fear that Sony was going to enter the market and dominate. Lo and behold, they created their own monster.

>and was able to dictate terms as far as what video games would pass muster
This was why the crash ended, not some gift they were handed for being first.

Nintendo is LE BAD, just like the rest of them. Do you have an actual argument?

This. No sane person is gonna argue that sony and microsoft or valve are our friends, but let's not pretend that Nintendo is above them.

[...]

To be honest, Valve's work on proton and linux and breaking us free of the windows monopoly is more important than anything Nintendo has released. Even if it's just to sell more steam decks, that's good enough for me.

>WINDOWS DOESN'T HAVE A MONOPOLY, CHUD! EVEN THOUGH THEY USED ILLEGAL TACTICS TO DESTROY COMPETITION AND TRY TO SUPRESS LINUX AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY

Nintendo is easily among the worst. You have to ignore everything they do to pretend otherwise.

I don't.

Nah, you’re the stupid one who can’t understand my point. It doesn’t matter what a couple fat tards like you believe. The evidence of Nintendo winning already shows how much exclusives matter.

I wouldn't worry about it. Sorry about your brand or platform or ideal or whatever it is making you mad right now.

What concession

Consoles are literally DRM boxes by their very nature and you don't know anything about PC.

>I don't know what drm is so I'll make up a definition and still be wrong
>but please don't argue semantics
lol

Physical games aren't DRM. Hardware that locks them down and you have no control over is. You can only play what Nintendo says you can, how they say you can and the only way to circumvent that is to hack the device, aka crack the DRM.

To add to this, not even playing offline may stop this behavior. Even if you buy newer games, they will require you to connect to Nintendo's servers to update and play those newer games. Either way, you're going to have to connect to their servers, and if you don't follow their EULA, your hardware is a brick that doesn't work, and now you can't play any of your games.

That's not drm you moron, that's just system compatibility, you don't have to go through always online checks and the switch can update offline if a friend sends you the update from their switch.

>consoles used to not have to update in order to play future games on the same console.
You don't have to update to play it you moron, it's literally just bug fixes and occasionally additional content.
You could play it unpatched if you want to.

Not true. If I wanted to play The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom with a v1.0 Switch from launch, I would have to install a Switch update that would allow the Switch to read the game data from the cartridge. I wouldn't be able to play it otherwise.

Yes, yes you can.
The reason it doesn't allow you to play it without an update is because the system records what update a game is on in other words, you update the game 1.01, the switch records it as 1.01, you deleted 1.01 and now the switch can't open 1.01 because it doesn't exist. That's it. There's no online verification and it's all offline.

In other words, you just admitted you're lying through your teeth.

Yes, the one who just explained how it works and knows what DRM is clearly knows less than the person who's only argument is
>Y-you have no clue!
Honestly, why do you people even bother?

also holy redditspacing batman

I own consoles too homie

>I only bothered because I was hoping to have an honest conversation about DRM
You didn't know what DRM was in the first place, how could you even have an honest conversation?
Hell, at this point I'm convinced that you're barely literate given that no one says this
>what I got was a word salad that makes zero sense
Over a single paragraph that makes perfect grammatical sense.
Judging by the next part of your post I'm completely right.
>In order for me to play Tears of the Kingdom on a launch version of the Switch (v1.0), I have to download a console update.
No you don't, I've already established that you don't have to.
>Now, you claim that it's because the game build uses Switch v1.1
No, you've once again misread. It's the opposite, you can play it without an update but once you do you can't play without that update unless you do a full factory reset of the system because the fact that you updated was recorded into the system data. In other words, like I said before.
>you update the game 1.01, the switch records it as 1.01, you deleted 1.01 and now the switch can't open 1.01 because it doesn't exist.
If you don't update first you can play without the update. If it was required to update first then you wouldn't be able to play as a game is updating.

>What isn't explained here is "why is the game not written to run on a v1.0"?
Because it's not something that needs to be explained since that's nonsense you made up.

>The obvious answer here is that Nintendo wants you patch your Switch against vulnerabilities that can be used against "you"... or them and their ability to keep their software from getting ripped from the console. This is not a bad thing... but this is BY DEFINITION DRM.
Now this is word salad that means absolutely nothing especially since you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how games are ripped.

Nah you got dunked on vegan

Ok schizo!

how do you think switches get hacked, moron? they get hacked because vulnerabilities exist in the system's software that hackers exploit to upload their own firmware. Nintendo updates their system to prevent that from happening going forward.

keep your samegayging to a minimum please

Anon. I literally could not play Tears of the Kingdom until I installed a console update. this is a thing that happened.

Tears of the Kingdom requires Switch v15.0.1 or later to even run. If you're below that version, you will not be able to play Tears of the Kingdom.

Not true. If I wanted to play The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom with a v1.0 Switch from launch, I would have to install a Switch update that would allow the Switch to read the game data from the cartridge. I wouldn't be able to play it otherwise.

If you're going to cope this hard over drm trying to twist it, you really shouldn't be buying into it to begin with. You have no control, your games are locked down and if Nintendo had it their way emulation would be dead. They leave their games to die on each system so they can port them over again for full price or get you to buy into a shitty paid online rental service where you literally own nothing. And if you want to pivot to compatibility, how is it that PC is still able to play every single Nintendo game ever made but Nintendo's own hardware can't? There is nothing stopping consoles from doing that other than greed and knowing casuals who buy consoles don't care to begin with.

I downloaded the entire neo geo library in the past hour and have been playing it. What have you done? Still here? Seething? Oh.

Enjoy your games, PC vegan!

>Just like what they did with the wiiU and 3DS.
That would imply the majority of those games are on switch, which they aren't.

They didn't make VC for the switch, they can't give you something that doesn't exist.

So they couldn't just work their magic and let me transfer an account to the Switch? Isn't it the same infrastructure? Would that really have killed them?

It's funny that steam and gog don't have this issue.I've had them since 2010, and yet my games have continued to work regardless of how many PCs I transfer between.

>No and no.
That sounds like shoddy worksmanship that Nintendo shouldn't be praised over.

>Also it does in reverse since they're shutting down support for windows 7.
That's only if you want more updates. You can still play steam games on windows 7 if you know what you're doing.

>That's like saying your purchases from steam to GoG should carry over because they're both on PC.
They kinda do, when you think about it. PC users aren't really constrained by most DRM. You can defeat anything that isn't denuvo quite easily.

>Anon, if you have to essentially pirate your games to continue playing then it's an actual issue.
I'm talking about deferring updates, although piracy is a legit workaround too. Ask Ganker if you want to know more.

That was also a problem. Not gonna defend that.

>DRM is your games being tied to one account.
You sonygays are fricking idiots. DRM isn't having your games tied to a single account or anything to do with an account, it's having a product tied to online verification, which is also why the cbomb issue happened since it meant that digital games on PS3, 360, ps4 and xbone would eventually die when their servers were turned off.

>cause i can play my games with online verification
If you're playing on PS or Xbox you do have drm on your system, go offline for a week and see what happens.
This also applies to physical games mind you.

Neither my PS4 or PS3 have been connected for years and I can play all the digital/physical games just fine.

>PC fats were literally the first to get cucked by an DRM store
Oh, I see. You assume everyone worships gaben and steam. A common mistake.

>They *are* PC gaming
They literally are not. PC is not a console, it's an open platform where you can get games a plethora of different ways.

>It doesn't matter that PC's have options
Yes it fricking does and nobody is talking purely about piracy with those options.

Switch had piracy day one. You'll need a different cope.

What does it offer that makes it so special? Wasn't there a Pokemon clone a few months back that completely destroyed Pokemon in every way quality wise?

But what does it fail to offer? I am not really familiar with monster catching games anymore. But it seems to me that Palword does everything Pokemon does but better.

> performance
lol, did you just really list that?

I played coop and had basically zero issues, but I've seen entire compilations of the bizarre bugs in the newest pokemon games, coop AND solo play.....you are deluding yourself anon

> performance
> quality
> graphics

The basics of course
Solid PVP, it's getting that but it won't be good because it a real time game meaning it'll be marred with iframes nonsense
Trading
Minigames
A roster of 400 to 800 unique monsters
Controlling said monsters
A decent compendium
18 types
Abilities
Shinies
Marks

Basically all you can really do in Palworld is just battle, which gets old fast when your monsters just do all the work.
I don't understand why Palworld fans try to say it's like pokemon when it's more like Spectrobes + Ark.

This is stupid, Palworld is just a shitty UE5 game. Gamefreak isn't trying to make the biggest, best games ever, they are trying to make classic Pokemon games ,on their own engine, for as cheap as possible while still making profit off of the license, they don't care if it's bad.

No it didn't. It's not even a pokemon like. It's bare bones ARK with pokemon skins. You don't play anything but pokeshit, do you poketard?

Better than defending pocket pair

Yeah pretty much. Well said. I agree. Why the greentext tho?

Sure.

Let's be honest anon, there's only one reason why you would think that pokemon is a bad game and that's because you only play pokemon since it only looks bad compared to itself.

That's the point, gamefreak is supposedly "trying" and yet were (at least) matched in quality by a small group of nobodies making a UE5 asset flip ARK clone. That is sad as frick.

>more
Lol X for doubt. The last pokemon games were so fricking bad, that I went over to my brothers house and he was emulating it, and I said "oh, so it's not emulating very well huh?" and he just said "nah that's just how the game runs" I called bullshit, and he pulled up videos of the game playing natively on the switch and it looked the exact same. Those games were embarrassing, palworld was jank, but nowhere NEAR as bad as pokemon. Quit lying to yourself anon.

You don't have to "believe" facts, you can simply observe the reality of them. Continue to delude yourself all you want, but doesn't change said facts or reality.

>absolutely blown the frick out
>t-t-tips fedora!
Lmao, I'm sorry I shattered the bubble you've been surrounding yourself with

God I love seeing the buck broken sure post, it gives me a half chub, I hope you didn't break anything valuable or punch yourself too hard.

The more you do it the more I get off, don't stop anon, the sheer desperation of the posts is my kink

Nnngh it's even better when you devolve to just meme image posts, do it again.....its so hot thinking of you fuming behind your keyboard, but desperately trying to get the last word despite having nothing left, something about you being that mind broken just gets me going. Try and make it a wojak next time

Almost as good....soon close anon...keep going

One last one anon, I'm right there

You are absolutely spoiling me, I never thought I'd find someone who likes being humiliated and degraded this much, thanks anon

>Hard
There's 300 clones and fanworks that do it better.
It's just like GTA, FIFA, COD, morons buy it because it has a huge marketing campaign and FOMO and wanting to socialize.

They give 0 fricks about the quality of the game, it's just routine.

Palworld seemed to offer people what they wanted.

>B-BUT IT DROPPED OFF IN PLAYERS
So you're just gonna fall back to the ad populum argument?

Still better than anything else that tries to be it

You're free to think that

Quality>quantity

Modern pokemon designs are abominations. Digimons haven't changed much

to sell a lot of software, you first need to sell a lot of hardware.

>Wii U and GC games were generally just bad games
The quality of the games has not changed throught the N64 and Switch era, albeit with the unfortunate exception of Paper Mario. Or so I heard. I liked Super Paper Mario, although it wasn't as RPG-like.

A great deal of Switch games where ports of Nintendo's own Wii U titles. Paper Mario TTYD HD is a Gamecube port. You don't seem to have ever touched neither the Wii U nor the Gamecube. I'm sure you've got plenty of energy to waste on this, but I'm too busy jerking off.

Didn't bother reading your post, but remember... The N64 was a commercial failure.

so why did the 360 beat the ps3 in sales when they had roughly the same amount of launch titles. i think ps3 had more

so there's more reasons than it being software variety at launch.

For sure, but that would be one of the bigger ones, the whole hard to use cell shading engine thing was a big deal, the only launch title I can remember anyone really caring about or being excited about is MGS4, most of the other popular titles came a lot later, at least from what I remember.

no, fun isn't always a good thing. it's why I don't get addicted to lootbox skinner games and gacha bullshit. because I'm adult enough to understand that sometimes fun is used to entrap you in some money robbing bullshit. vampire survivors is made by a guy who made casino games and look how well that's done for something that's effectively a walking sim

I'm sorry you can't follow a conversation esl gay. luckily for, you can pay 2 win these days

>While Nintend𐐬 is still producing tons of over sexuallized children and animals in their games
I don't think they have a single game with sexualised animals or children in it.

So not a single sexualised animal or child.

Based Nintendo family values and healthy relationships between heterosexual white people

>They ruined god of war because it was a manly cool character game into woke cuck shit.
By giving kratos an underaged boy to travel with just like Ellie in TLoU.
Miles Morales is also underaged.
You have Ratchet and clank for your sexualised furry.

>While Nintend𐐬 is still producing tons of over sexuallized children and animals in their games
Pretty sure the closest thing to a sexualised child or animal is an inkling who aren't children and are more human than Rivet.

>But you won't, because their aren't any.
I could do it right now. For example, if I want an open world game, Terraria easily BTFOs both BOTW and TOTK. Without even trying.

>Then go by critical review, both professional and customer.
Nah. i get to decide what games are good, not paid off morons and shills.

>Then you disregard all common consensus because you have way to argue your emotional stance.
There's a reason why ad populum is a fallacy.

Those aren't even the same genre, you moronic Black person.

Also fair, but that ISNT true for Nintendo, the fan boys like their stuff even if it isn't good, just look at the Pokemon games. And again, I don't play a ton of Nintendo stuff, but what I have played (like BotW) while not all terrible messes like pokemon, are vastly overrated, but are still endlessly praised by fanboy autists and normies alike, which is why I think they have staying power in a way the other 2 of the big 3 don't, and their biggest weakness really seems to be a lack of ability to also have all the 3rd party multiplat games on their platform

Sure.

That’s the fricking point of the post. What do people want?

No

No

But of course

Sure.

Consumer friendly lmao.

If you can’t be bothered to stay on point about the thread replies, just shut the frick up.

>moron comes up halfway through a thread reply to post some stupid shit nobody cares about

>Also Sony convinced the idiot masses that a paid service means the money goes back into the servers

Sony wasn’t even the first one to introduce the paid service in the first place. And nintendo is well behind over 10 years of online services quality by now. STILL no party chat???

The frick are you gonna do about it?

Compared to something like animal crossing or splatoon, yes, and if you argue against that you are delusional.

That was literally the whole point. Those games are not aimed at the same age range. Pokemon is aimed at 6 year olds, spiderman has people's heads getting graphically bit off.

Just because you still play it does not mean it isn't aimed at 6 year olds

Just because you still play it does not mean it isn't aimed at 6 year olds

>games can't be suitable for multiple demographics, they're either kiddy shit for toddlers or murderfests with bloody gibs splattering everywhere
holy shit have a nice day.

>Spooderman is at least a game aimed at adults
On what planet? Both the story and the gameplay treats the player like they're mentally moronic and you barely have any freedom to do what you want.
It's the video game equivalent of taking a child to a baby park and holding their hand.

Oh we do, it just never happens with Nintendo unless you're behind it.

Because it's all you and your discord cohorts. Hell the only reason you're getting replies now is because the thread is about to die.

?

Don't engage ACgay, Nintendo's success has literally fried his brain.

But it’s funny

You don't get to claim that unless you actively called it out as a falseflag, which you never did. Nobody did.

If it was a falseflag, why did nobody call it out as such? It's a little late to do it now, you should've did it earlier.

But hey, at least you found one post with a slur in it, it doesn't prove your point given the context, but you found one.

>Not good enough. Not even close
Of course it is, you lack subtlety ACgay which is why it's so easy to point you out and make solid connections between you and the pasta.
All you have now is denial which of course wouldn't matter to anyone other than you.

Burden of proof is on you seeing as you made the initial claim.

You console warriors just can't help but BTFO yourselves constantly.

The fact that you literally proved my argument, without even realizing it, has put a big grin on my face. You could've done nothing and that would've accomplished more for you.

Until next time, amigo.
