All companies are greedy. However then it comes to gaming i doubt anyone will challenge EA. Not just their horrible practices with MTX and such but their ability to ruin talented devs into the ground. Nintendo was never very creative with their games but people continue to buy them so why change formula that works.

Eh I'd make a case that Activision is even more scummy than EA but not by much. It's just that EA pulls off some epic greedy moves whereas Activision is just consistently and constantly more scummy.

Nintendo has their own share of garbage they pull but they've at least restrained themselves from doing the worst of the worst tactics that the likes of EA, Activision, WB, Ubi, etc do.

look at FO76 bugs galore, minimum work, the price plummeted 2 weeks after launch, and switching out a canvas bag for a nylon bag in the $200 CE that makes a plastic shopping bag look strong(said it cost too much for what would cost less then $5 to make). Then gave $4.99 in in game currency to players as compensation which couldn't even buy the in game canvas bag as that was $7 lol. Finally after they gave in on the CE they exposed the names, addresses, and other info of customers who signed up to get the real canvas bags through a half ass made website.
Also they never fix their fuckin bugs. Even remasters still have the same issues that the originals had. IMO that is a terrible business practice. Hell even EA, UBI, and Activision usually fix their buggy games, but Bethesda is like YOLO when it comes to working on a game once they push it out they ignore it.

Hell EA with BF5 I think only did a better job at giving fans the middle finger(on PC at least). 2 weeks after launch making BF5 $30 if you own a copy of BF1, or 4(which most ppl who bought the game would), and then saying no refunds, or partial refunds to the day one buyers. In all truth I think it is almost impressive how badly EA fucked this up they pretty much eclipsed Bethesda in the negative gaming news this week lol

Game companies at least do not have monopoly power, nor do they just make money with financial gambling. I nominate some more venal companies out there:

Microsoft, Amazon, ConEdison, United Airlines, Exxon, Pfizer, Lockheed Martin, Goldman Sachs, Citibank, Comcast. The list is never ending.

Copyrights are monopolies. Think about it. Nintendo's able to shut down fan games for a reason. Likewise, they are making money off gambling with money. People are able to buy loot boxes with real currency directly or indirectly by converting real money to in game cash and then buying it. There's now countries that see loot boxes as a form of gambling by law and aren't looking to kindly towards companies that market games with the since children play these games, even if the rating suggest they shouldn't be playing them.

Hmmm...EA, Bethesda, Activision(Blizzard), Ubisoft, 2K Games, Mobile Game Devs, Square-Enix (mostly with Final Fantasy / stuff like Quiet Man)...

As bad and baffling as Nintendo is some / most of the time, they are one of the few left that don't either spew out total trash or don't drown the game in loot box / micro-transaction hell. They day they do I'll agree with this topic but right now they've yet to do this with their specific IP's and store/misc stuff people use their brand (except Amiibos but that's a more personal gripe).
All that is human and perishable is merely a reflection of reality, all that man could never obtain is here achieved, the inspiration of love draws us onwards.

They're getting there. Amiibos, DLC, paid online. It seems like it might just be a matter of time before they try it with Animal Crossing.

I really hope you're wrong but I can't say I would be that surprised. I'm still holding out hope that the online service will get a lot better and fix the functionality of the service and maybe even give us some N64 or Gamecube titles for the online.

I've never had much faith in the online fee. Partially because there have been a few game developers that stated it's coming out of their pocket, not the console makers'. And if they're able to do that through sales and dlc, than it makes paid online seem like a way for console makers to get money through a practice that compares to both ransomware and piracy. As for Animal Crossing, it's possible. The original game had grab bags. Crazy red sells forged paintings. I see potential for it to be abused. I don't know much about how things work in Pokemon LGP/E. If I remember correctly, Pokemon Go had microtransactions, so I'm not sure if those two have them or not, but they do link to Go, so I'm not sure if that counts for anything or not in your book.

Nintendo is no worse than most sizable corporations. They do good stuff, they do bad stuff. I'd say their pros outweigh their cons. Just support the good, and call out the bad. Besides, at the very least, we should be glad Nintendo isn't a monolithic, overbearing conglomerate like Google or Disney, those tend to be the worst (Google in particular).

Also, Switch is more powerful than either the Wii or the Wii U. 

Plus Smash for Wii U & Ultimate are nowhere near identical; Ultimate uses a completely different engine.

Or you know they “understock” becsuse as a business when you overstock products not only do you fuck retailers over but also yourself as you now have a situation where retailers will not stock your product the same way

    Microsoft has the Xbox brand and they exploit gamers with Xbox Live Gold through paid online, even with third party games, which is pretty much like piracy seeing as they don't run the servers for third party and indie games. Same goes for PlayStation Network and Nintendo Switch Online. In Nintendo's case, it's a bit more hypocritical as they have a strong stance on piracy, but they're doing it themselves. As for Windows and Microsoft office, there is legit competition. You can run Linux on a PC and install software such as Wine and Libre Office to get things done. You could also run ReactOS instead if you want.

    They used to be the best of both worlds for a very long time. They only recently got a bit greedy and stubborn 

    Started around the Wii days sometime once they sold like 100 mil ontop of what they sold for 3DS

    But I think they’re honestly lazy now too. Online is huge, it brings people together and it’s fun. They should go all in with it, and do it THIER way so we have fun but also keep it extremely family oriented. Just regulate the communication heavily I dont care just have online. Maybe we register who we want to talk to that way no terrible interactions can occur

    To be honest...Super Mario Odyssey is by far Nintendo's most creative game in a LOOOOONG time.

    BotW was really good, but more a typical open world...and Ulimate is more of a refined very improved Smash 4 with mostly returning content from past Smash games...like an all-out Smash remix...but it really is just more Smash, not really a big revolution for the series. Brawl was the last time Smash had a big change.

    I kind of miss the Melee and Brawl days where Smash would make these drastic changes and go all out on brand new content.

    I don't think Nintendo has been that creative lately.

    Eh I'd make a case that Activision is even more scummy than EA but not by much. It's just that EA pulls off some epic greedy moves whereas Activision is just consistently and constantly more scummy.

    Nintendo has their own share of garbage they pull but they've at least restrained themselves from doing the worst of the worst tactics that the likes of EA, Activision, WB, Ubi, etc do.


    The difference is that Activision knows when they do wrong, and tries to make up for it. EA does wrong, knows it's wrong before doing it, says they won't do it again, and then does it again two weeks later.

    They are just trying to keep the industry alive by keeping "value" to their games. Otherwise, no one will pay more than $10 for a game and the developers will have to make lesser games to accomodate.

    Thank you, I've tried explaining this so many times and no one seems to understand what I'm saying.

    -I can buy God of War right now for under $18
    -Now, people have it in their head that this is how much a GOW game should cost new (or shortly thereafter)
    -When the next GOW game comes out, how many people are going to want to pay $60 for it???

    This pattern leads to "decreased supposed value" of games. If game developers can only sell their games for $18, they can't afford to make expensive games anymore.

    This kills the whole game industry and pushes it more to the "cheap mobile games" side. That saddens me. AA games are almost already gone (replaced by indies), and new AAA games are much fewer than in previous years.

    One has to look at the bigger picture. But, who the hell does that anymore?

    There has been quite a bit of scandal revolving around Fallout 76
    One of which was the collectors edition bag


    One bad game doesn't put them anywhere near the level of Nintendo.

    One bad game? You think their fault is one bad game?

    Try screwing consumers on multiple levels with this whole bag fiasco. First, they react "we're not gonna do anything about this" to the outrage. Then they offer 5$ worth of in-game cash which not only isn't enough for anything of notice, it also makes you withdraw your right to complain anymore, as you've accepted your compensation. And when they finally broke and announced they would send actual canvas bags to everyone concerned, they leaked personal data (name, address, credit card number) of every single person that submitted a ticket at the moment. 

    Let's be honest, this shit puts them miles below Nintendo.

    Nintendo isn't all that greedy (except with Fire Emblem DLC), but they sure deserve an award for most bizarre decision-making when it comes to features and online play.

    Does literally anyone use the Switch Online app?
    Why can't you set options freely when playing Mario Tennis Aces online?
    How is it that Nintendo looked at Smash 4, where For Glory was the only thing people played online, and switched to the new godawful system where even Elite Smash will throw you into an FFA against your will and make you sit and watch the rest after you're eliminated or be banned?

    Meh, I’ve been around since the dawn of console gaming (yes I’m old!) and whether it was child like innocence, naivety etc the now greedy corporations all started with an honest and pure vision. Shit, even EA in their starting years were pretty fucking great (I’m talking about the yellow tab genesis cartridge EA that gave us road rash etc) activision made some pretty awesome 2600 games and Nintendo blew my little mind with the release of the SNES. 

    Call me jaded but once the industry exploded and became bigger than Hollywood ALL company’s started chasing the pound/dollar signs and why blame them?

    It’s our fault though we humoured the microtransaction model and made it so successful I can’t see it go away, yes, it’s a cancer in the industry but we feed it (I’m not attacking anyone on here just referring to the “royal” WE as in gamers, unless you are that person who bought the horse armor DLC back in Oblivion, then YES I am blaming you 😂)

    The poster who mentions EA is completely correct though they are the devil in gaming and have destroyed MANY a great studio (BioWare, Bullfrog, Lionhead) Nintendo as a whole will have to try to be scummy a hell of a lot more to match the levels of Trip Hawkins modern company.

    lionhead was a microsoft studio for longer than it was EA. EA did nothing there.

    EA didn't force bioware to forget how to make good games.

    they didn't take down rom sites. they forced their own first party games off sites and sued and site runners realized it wasn't worth the hassle. and so fucking what? they only demanded their own first party games be taken off, which is completely within their right to do.

    None of these are real though, just fabrications.

    Only one close to real is amiibo and they give you something physical unlike every other type of DLC. 

    So I guess amiibo are the best DLC ever.

      Artificial product shortages the benefit nobody

      I see this brought up a lot and I get why but at the same time, I can also see the other side of this. In example, they way over estimated their sales for Wii U and overstocked it which hurt them financially and for 3DS while the sales weren't as bad, the sales stagnated early on and ended up being only about half of what DS did. After seeing these things, then taking into consideration how toys to life was going for other companies and how little "classic" systems from other companies were selling, they weren't expecting the demand for their own classic systems and amiibos to be so high. Even with the Switch, considering how the Wii U and 3DS did prior, their expectations were much lower. Furthermore, looking at the tech world at the time they launched, they also had to deal with companies like Apple and Samsung causing shortages across tech world when they launched Switch and the strike in the docks in California when they launched amiibos.

      General pricing

      Some of the games are more expensive due to carts, but that's where my complaints end. Similar performing portable hardware is more expensive. IE, the GPD Win 2 is $699, Switch is $299. The XB1 controller is $60 + the play and charge battery is $25. The Switch Pro Controller is $70. The dock is pricey but it comes with the system. Micro SD cards are more expensive then HDD's but nothing is as bad as Vita memory cards. Online is $20, while PS+ is $60.

      Their DRACONIAN content policies (which were conveniently lifted just ahead of Smash) and the myriad controversies surrounding them

      I'm going to need some examples of this.

      amiibos, essentially microtransactions with plastic

      While I'm not really an Amiibo fan, I have 20 or so. I get why some people like them for collectability but I don't have much room for that. On the flip side, every Amiibo I purchased works in multiple games. This puts it ahead of typical micro transactions or other Toys to Life figurines imo.

      Taking down ROM sites full of games not legally available then using the exact ROM rips (albeit a small fraction of them) from said sites in their “classic” consoles

      I see both sides of this but I agree with you on Nintendo's actions here. On one end, getting ROM's online is like downloading music, shows, and movies. In other industries, this has been considered clear cut stealing and companies have gone after sites and individuals over this.

      On the other end, I don't like how the console companies are asking users to repurchase games or subscribe to access the games they purchased on previous hardware. When talking other tech companies such as Apple or Google, they don't try to force their users into repurchasing their music and videos they bought prior. When talking PC gaming, games that I purchased 20 years ago on hardware that was quite different still work on my PC I built a few weeks ago (some with a bit of emulation and trickery mind you). But when it comes to companies like Nintendo and Sony, even though the majority of their games are up and running on a variety of hardware, they don't want to support your purchases from their own services on their modern hardware as they want to resell those games and get service subscriptions. At least Microsoft is making an effort..

      Putting all of that into perspective, Nintendo's decision to go after ROM sites is just adding fuel to the flames. Sure, they have the right to do it, but it was a dick move.

      And a general hesitant stance towards modernizing

      I agree with this. They're stuck in the past with their policies on how they're handling online. That said, I'm very glad that they're embracing 3rd parties with Switch and supporting consumer friendly things like cross platform play, cross platform progression, and local multiplayer.
      Yay gaming

      I try explaining the physics in BOTW all the time and some people just never get it.

      It's the most revolutionary part of the game really.


      Exactly, there trying to compare stuff but fail to see the underlying method.

      I gave up on those guys.They all say the same thing in order to create outrage: "Nothing is in BOTW that hasn't been in other games".

      Whenever I see that, a person gets an instant spot on my IGNORE list. Not because it upsets me but because I figure they will never have anything beneficial/accurate to say in the future.

      No biggie!

      That post? He wasn't attacking call of duty. He was saying that the person argument was flawed because it had superficial comparison and don't see what makes it unique.

      Are you intentionally misunderstanding for the sake of "trolling" or something equally moronic? A valid comparison to BotW was made.
      - I dislike Sony and Nintendo equally but own both of their consoles plus a PC.

      Not a Rocket Launcher, but Duke Nukem 2 had a flamethrower you could use as a jetpack.


      Which isn't comparable
      Actually, it is in the sense that Duke Nukem 2 is an old DOS game, so one could say it's an early concept of that.

      That's great but it is not the same. 
      Can you fly with a boulder that you build momentum with?

      Or make a seesw and catapult yourself in the air with the tools you made?
      LittleBig Planet games on PS3 have that. Yeah, it's a 2.5D platformer, but that kind of thing exists in it. Someone tried to recreate Sonic's loops with a very fast spinning wheel you can grab onto in the middle. The LBP 2's creatinator could be used for spawning stuff with a frequency that it would allow you to take off if you fire downwards.
      Putting basic functionality of a system like online multiplayer and the ability to back up data behind a premium membership shows little faith in it.

      What was the comparison? Just having a glide? Fort Nite has a gliding mechanic.

      And it start with this.

      I asked what game can you create an updraft and glide up with it? What game can you use a random object on the ground and hit a orge in its crotch til it dies.

      What game can you charge momentum in a boulder to fly accross mountain with it?
      What game let you make a bridge out of a tree that's not a triggered Event?

      Saying it has a glider is just superficial and you're not looking at the truth. And when he said it he means that you making superficial comparison.

      I doubt duke let you set something on fire and catch an updraft. As for the second part.
      I don't know what you mean by that

      I'd say their decisions are more baffling than anything. And yeah, they do have some really stupid anti-consumer tactics and an odd paranoia about piracy.

      But I would put them far down the list of the most anti-consumer, when you consider EA, Activision, 2K, Ubisoft, Bethesda, so on and so forth have them quite beat.

      How is Bethesda bad again? I know everything they release is a bug infested mess, but they at least leave the door open for modders to fix it.

      There has been quite a bit of scandal revolving around Fallout 76
      One of which was the collectors edition bag

      Yeah. Don't get me wrong, I don't think fo76 is nearly as bad as people act like. I think it's a good, but flawed game. Those flaws just stop it from being great though. They don't stop it from being good. 

      However... 
      They gave cheap nylon bags instead of actual canvas bags like what was promised. The CS reps response was "they were too expensive to make, so we went with these. We aren't paying on doing anything about it. " 
      After that, a community organizer came out to try and fix the situation. The response was pretty much "what they said is true, but not how they are suppose to say it. Here's 5$ of in game currency for the people that bought our $200 collectors edition". Then after more uproar, they are finally fixing it. Then they also listed all the things they knew the community would like in their patch notes, and had a lot of hidden nerfs in it that they didn't mention because they knew the community would be mad. 

      This was seriously scummy (the bag thing)... I will say that this is the only real thing I can give a complaint about though.
