    @Texalogic @MightyKeef The problem is you still need the Playstation connected (& I think on or running?) & you need a GOOD internet connection or it sucks ***. Also the difference between Sony & Nintendo is the Switch IS the console itself. You can't just buy a Portal without a PS5, like a Wii U.

    @sister_wow @NextGenPlayer You mean the one Xbox is trying to artificially induce? Cuz Nintendo has only released one $80 dollar game that isn't an upgrade edition. And Sony/other publishers don't seem to be following suit. They thought they could bait em, and up Game Pass's value. Glad it's not working...

    China put DRM in Solar panels... the way to attack this is a blanket ban on any kind of remote-activated DRM. Not just China, but Nintendo, John Deere, all sorts of companies do this. It needs to stop as it's a national security issue.

    @Adziwo_ @NintyPrime Yeah that's the part I really hate about buying new hardware. If the issue with the trigger seems like something that doesn't fix itself over time, you might want to send it in for repair. I would hope Nintendo lets you keep the console so you can still play it in the meantime.

    If I said that I think $80 games aren’t the problem and that the problem is that the general public doesn’t get paid enough to live comfortably while still being able to buy things they enjoy I’ll get called a Nintendo glazer and to shut up

    @ev1dentLEE @Murillos14 @kirawontmiss Yeah? thats what i said? are you reading what i said? The problem is support console price hikes, game price hikes and further pushing the “you don’t own what you buy” narrative more by nintendo having full control to brick your switch anytime they want. shouldnt support that :/

    @MiguelGX9 @mrpyo1 And? I’m pointing out hypocrisy. If Pyo buys and enjoy every TLOU remaster then why is it a problem for Nintendo to offer a 10$ upgrade as well?

    @realimjustkey It depends on your taste. My problem is Nintendo and how they treat their consumers I'm not supporting that. But at same time I'm not a hypocrite we all have **** we love and end up supporting which indirectly someone ****** up involved doing shady ****

    @FortniteStatus I can’t matchmake on any map including Battle Royale and Brick Life on Nintendo Switch I keep getting matchmaking error #2 @FortniteStatus I’ve already redownloaded the game and cleared cache still having issues.

    @Grummz I'm more concerned with Nintendo's decaying business practices. The empty cartridges, the increasing service fees, and mistreatment of talent is what's turning me off.

    @SonOfATech Nintendo I could forgive cause it’s game code on media(cartridge). Sony is building up a game library for their Plus “Games as a service” subscription. Steam is just putting games on the digital shelf at MSRP, but I expect some service to come out of them too.

    im honestly shocked no one woke has brought up how the inventor of Donkey Kong said in a Nintendo Power issue in like 2003 that he based the character and world of Donkey Kong on minstrel shows….like wtf. is Nintendo that powerful they can just bury ****** up **** like that?

    Nintendo Switch is just a glorified nostalgia machine struggling with latency issues. Perfect for basement parties, terrible for serious FPS action. Prove me wrong. 🎮🔥 #HotTake #SwitchLag #RealTalk

    @NintendoAmerica Oh boy, I see trouble brewing!

    I have much less of an issue with a game like this being $80 than a Nintendo game that could have been made two gens ago and that has a much smaller team and dev cycle. It's just where the industry is going.
