Every platform wants to be every other platform nowadays

The only game Nintendo’s charged $70 for so far is Tears of the Kingdom, which your description doesn’t match at all

Glad I never made an account there

I think it’ll be the recent past, showing how Lumiose came to be what it is in X/Y. A prequel story could do wonders for X/Y, fleshing out Lysandre with an actual backstory could make him interesting.

It was more than a reskin, with a new catching system based on Pokémon Go, but yeah, the area design was pretty much already done

Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee actually ran well, with only occasional dips. Not sure how their first Switch outing was also their most polished…

And sometimes, a game gets a patch that actually makes it worse

Rumor has it that the Switch 2 was going to be revealed this month, but got delayed. I assume this is a partner showcase because Nintendo promised third-parties a direct this month but aren’t ready to show off what they’re working on

Except without the GamePad’s uses for giving one player exclusive information in local multiplayer or the touch screen actually being used in games.

Microtransactions need to be regulated the way casinos are. Companies won’t do the right thing unless they are forced to.

Just stop leaving your home, easy

Even if they would, look what at happened to Bleem. They successfully argued in court that the PS1 emulator they were selling was legal, but Sony kept suing them until Bleem went bankrupt paying legal fees. That was an actual corporation, too. What hope does an individual artist have?

Or, more accurately, they aren’t prepared for the legal battle that would ensue

With capacitative buttons and on-screen buttons, there are times where I hit them on accident, which is annoying. The little bit of extra force you need for physical buttons makes this much less likely. I also don’t like when on-screen buttons are hidden, and I am worried that I would trigger gestures on accident.

I want a cell phone with a headphone jack, physical navigation buttons, and a rectangular screen like they used to make. At this point, I’ll have to go with a flip phone if I want all of those features.

For those who take this seriously: don’t. Security by obscurity does not work.

They’ve been sucking for longer than they’ve been losing

Because it’s not the AI that’s taking away jobs, but the executives hoping to cut costs regardless of creativity, quality, or ethics.
