masterspace@lemmy.ca 8 months agoNintendo, the company that makes gamers pay them $500 for a new console every 4 years, and then $80 for a new skin of the exact same game every 2 years, and calls it innovations and consumer friendliness.
Nintendo is a fuckwad company. You’re just gaslit cause you like a character they made.
i HATE nintendo, they *literally *FORCE GAMERS to pay $500,000,000,000,000 dollars for a NEW CONSOLE every month, and then they have the *audacity *to RELEASE VIDEOGAMES which cost $100,00,000,000 ultra dollars without any care for innovation. just last week they released donkey kong bananza which is a clear RESKIN of far cry 4
nintendon’t *wheeze* is a stupid ass company, GAMERS are just GASLIGHT because they enjoy things

I’m pretty sure the Switch 1 is older than 4 years (and was cheaper than $500). And their games are actually quite good.
So Nintendo might be a fuckwad company, but your comment is still full of bullshit.
No my comment just uses normal human language to convey a point instead of min/maxing precision.
Using years and hundreds of dollars is not min/maxing precision. That's a stupid excuse for something you should own up because your made up numbers detract from your point. If the numbers don't matter then this shouldn't make your argument look ridiculous.

You can't just make up numbers and expect to have reasonable argument. By making up numbers you're just opening yourself up to criticism (which it seems you can't take) even if the actual point you're making is right.
Here’s the thing. You’re not arguing against their point you’re arguing about the specific figures not being entirely accurate.
Watching you two go feral over specificity doesn’t convince anyone of anything, it just makes people hostile to talking to you because now they feel they have to hedge everything, because if not you’ll reply with
“You’re*”
And ignore the whole argument they made. Nobody wants to engage with that level of nitpicking pedantry.
Being right isn’t always worth it, because you put the other person in defense mode, show you don’t care about the spirit of the argument as much as the letter, and essentially insult the person in the process.
You’re right, you’re just shit at conversational strategy. Enjoy the fights. That’s all you’re having.

Counterpoint: shut the fuck up, you understand my point just as well as if I had looked up the right numbers and adjusted them for inflation.
Nitpicking is not the same thing as conversing. Grow the fuck up.

… Or look up the lifecyle of most of their products. The support is a whole lot longer than four years.
They have no micro transactions and the games are finished when released. Yes, they have their bad side too. So does Sony and Microsoft. There are no good guys in business. Just less bad.
But the beauty is, vote with your wallet. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it
