Why doesnt Nintendo put their games on pc? Do they hate money? Both Playstation and Xbox figured out that putting their games on pc makes more money. Not that that matters much for me since I just wanted Rise and I got it but still.

What's wrong with that frog?
what game?
Because they don't owe you shit. Id rather play online on Nintendo walled garden than with whatever brazillians keep popping up in every pc game I've ever played ever
I wish the online service wasnt atrocious though. It's kinda of ridicilous nintendo even has the ballls to charge people for it.
The price I'm willing to pay to avoid third worlders
moron
all nintendo cares about is money. they're getting it too.
0 evidence piracy hurts sales. capcom and from started putting shit on steam and have been recording record profits ever since.
nintendo sells hardware and putting shit on PC devalues their hardware in the longterm.
If they cared about money, they monetize more shit and stream soundtracks instead of DMCA strikes.
>0 evidence piracy hurts sales.
It hurts small and medium budget games. But it doesn't hurt massively hyped AAA games. Because the contradiction is people will pirate indie and medium budget games to "try them out" but will rush to buy the latest Pokemon or GTA day one without "trying it out."
And despite what pirates claim, 90% of them don't go and buy the game after "trying it out." This leads to small and medium budget games losing sales but big budget games gaining sales. And pirates only focus on the big AAA games when trying to say piracy doesn't hurt games. They overlook the hundreds of thousands of small to medium budget games that don't get a sequel because the sales for the first game weren't high enough.
not that anon but people who pirate games aren't more likely to buy them if they can't pirate, it's why multiple studies have proven that pirating doesn't hurt game sales. a person is much more likely to try out a game if they can try it for free then pay money to try it out.
This is such a dumb argument because people were likely to buy them before they figured out to pirate games. Them having access to piracy is what leads them to stop buying games. Hence the famous Gabe quote of how to combat piracy.
Nintendo doesn't care about money. They don't make more amiibos or mini game consoles either
Still it's stupid since you can emulate switch games on pc right now anyway. Why not just make money off it and sell a proper upgraded version of it.
Why not make the soundtracks of all their games streamable?
>Why doesnt Nintendo put their games on pc?
>Mario Kart 8 and Animal Crossing sell over 35 million units on just the Switch
Putting their games on PC would actually lose sales. Both for the console versions but also because of piracy.
see
Not to mention if it's not on their kiddie shit social media platform of PC gayming people will just pirate full stop
It will happen eventually but expect them to have their own storefront and launcher to avoid paying royalties to Steam.
>Still have to deal with nintendo's online on pc instead of steamworks
It won't happen eventually. Nintendo has publicly stated if they stop doing hardware they'll drop software as well
Who cares, nintendo has publicly stated they wouldnt do DLC either and here we are.
To be fair, if there's any publisher with the library to justify their own storefront and subscriptions, it's Nintendo.
They don't have to stop doing hardware, just like Playstation and Xbox don't.
i play nintendo games on pc all the time, anon
what are you talking about?
All consoles should ignore pc. Nintendo is based for not putting a single game of theirs on a pc storefront
I legit think they're afraid of pc after what happened with mario teaches typing and the DOS port
All their games are on PC already.
But that's why they should just put them on pc to make atleast some money. im sure there are people that would play splatoon 2 multiplayer on steam rather than try and emulate it.
They might even kill emulation all together since theres no need for it.
Piracy literally doesn't count
You can already play their games on pc though
Are you moronic?
Sony, MS
>40% of sales comes from 3rd party games
>40% comes from microtransactions
Nintendo
>50% of sales comes from 1st party games
>40% comes from hardware people buy because of 1st party games
Keeping their stuff on their own box helps maintain cultist morale, which is why they react so viscerally to emulators. If they lose it they're just another company like Sega is now.
Nintendo is in the position they're now because they built the strength of their IPs for the past 30 years and tied them to their hardware. You want to play Mario Kart like the other 40 million people? Buy Nintendo Switch. (Emulationgays are just statistical noise)
PS and Xbox built their position on 3rd party games. Doesn't matter what they do with 1st party
not sure why that frog edit awakened an almost 30 year old memory of mine.
>want to buy a switch to try some of their games
>remember the majority games run at 24 fps or something on a sub hd resolution
>drop it immediately
Name a single nintendo game worth playing on pc if you are over 13 years old.
Because it kills your brand in the long run and they're not as israelitey/American as Sony
Are you sure the company that charged 60 dollars for 10 cent cardboard arent israelitey?
Because Nintendo's games push their hardware. If they put their games on PC then no one is buying their consoles and they don't want that. Sony and Xbox are putting their shit on PC because their consoles sell at a loss and the difference gets made up in software sales. Nintendo builds their consoles with the intention of making a profit on a sale.
i guess that explains why all their systems are underpowered and overpriced.
