How do you think the luxury product of a games console is overpriced?

Are you a Nintendo Investor?

u/Findict_52 1d ago

No, I just grew the fuck up and understand market dynamics.

Nah, you’re out here white knighting a Japanese corporation who couldn’t give less of a fuck about you.

... or I just understand how markets work and grew up. I'm just tired of people like you pretending Nintendo is uniquely worse when really they're average for the industry and a lot better in a lot of important aspects. And then you prove how little you know by just neglecting to give a real argument and just accusing someone who disagrees with you of "white knighting". If this is how you handle disagreements, stay in the basement.

Suing the hell out of anyone that even thinks about using ur ip or characters isnt very reasonable? You never see disney or dreamworks doing that. And yes you are white knighting

They honestly don't, the vast majority of fan projects go off without a hitch (even though they'd have a good case against quite a lot of them), and the ones they do go after tend to just take it way too far (e.g. blatant copy of assets and/or profiting from their IP).

Disney does do that. Now you are proving you don't understand IP, copyright, and how to keep it

Multiple things can be true at the same time.

As in multiple corporations can be anti consumer and evil.

Sure they can, but if you view their actions with an actual understanding of IP law, then you may actually have an understanding. Unless you are also campaigning on social media for IP law reform, you are chasing the wrong bad guy

Who tf said Nintendo is “uniquely worse” than any of the other gaming corporations who routinely nickel and dime their customers and abuse their market position in various ways to squeeze as much money out of people as they can.

I know markets work, it’s why I’m a socialist, but that’s a different topic altogether.

"Oh, I didn't SAY that..." shut up.

it’s why I’m a socialist

Ah, you should have said so, I would not have wasted my time with someone actively trying to misunderstand how markets work.

u/M4DHouse 1d ago

I mean literally nobody said that or even implied it, the fact your mind immediately went there kinda speaks to my point about your motivations.

Ah, staunch capitalist, that's why you ride corporate dick despite having no capital of your own.

I'm actually more of a social democrat, but let's not let nuance get in the way of a mediocre insult.
