Comment on Switch 2 pre-orders will prioritise players with the most Switch playtime

  So you mean they should just prioritise rich people instead of passionate people?

  They can’t know how much free time people have, but it’s a fair assumption that more time using the Switch means you’re more interested in playing it.

  They’re rewarding loyalty. But you think they should reward… having money?

    No. They cost money that’s a very core principle of our system. I’m asking isn’t that enough of am incentive?

    Don’t be like that. You are trying to get a response from what you wished to have read and it’s gross.

      that’s a very core principle of our system.

      Something being as it is doesn’t mean it ought to be that way.

      You would prefer that a rich asshole with all the money in the world who has 7 switches in different colours and sizes and all the gears with them but never plays them, just has them because he wants to let people know he has them should have more of a chance of getting a new Switch 2 than, say, a teenage loner kid who’s only comfort from bullying has been a Switch he’s been playing religiously for the past few years and has just managed to save up for a new Switch 2 and is super excited for it coming out?

      Because I would definitely say the latter should be prioritised. And that is what Nintendo is doing, and your take makes zero sense. “But why won’t anyone think of the scalpers?!”

        You are having a different conversation than I am and it’s not with this topic either.
