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

  You haven’t made a point about why rewarding loyalty is bad, or why your demanding that people be priced out of buying the thing isn’t pathetic.

  But hey, maybe I missed it. To explain it to me, and try to make it so simple that an idiot can me can understand it, because from where I’m standing from, you seem like a whiny rich kid who hasn’t played their Switch and is now afraid they won’t get the newest toy when it comes out.

    loyalty

    Play time hours not loyalty.

    You haven’t made a point

    Me literally at my top comment in this chain.

    Seems like it more directly supports prioritizing those that play for a living and gets content creators priority to start the paying marketing arm.

    I don’t have a money or the means to be considering a multi hundred dollar purchase when I am pushing back my tooth extraction.

    You have decided who I am regardless of who I actually am in your head and its an impossible at worst and uphill battle at best that you don’t deserve while treating me so poorly.

    Don’t be a jerk.

      Loyalty, passion, interest, call it whatever you will.

      Those that play for a living

      Oh that was a serious point you were making? Even with every cat and his nephew being a streamer, there’s still not that many people playing or streaming professionally for that to actually affect the market. That’s ridiculous.

      Also, Switch games, aside from like Zeldas, are like the least played/streamed games there are, so that’s really not a valid excuse. It might be a valid excuse if we were talking about Steam games and Nvidia GPU’s, because there’s so many players and so little stock, but Nintendo made it a point to have enough stock and Switch streamers aren’t really that much of a thing.

      So it definitely rewards people actually use their Switches, instead of people who were born with a gold spoon up their arse. And you have zero points against that except "I’m rich and I dislike it because it means someone else might get something before me and I’m not used to that because (my daddy’s money means) I’m rich
