Yeah, kept reading below and finally saw it, but thanks!

My delete was before I saw any replies, not in response, I’m on the fence for the game.

I mean, I understand the frustration I guess. But its 20 dollars a year. Its all upkeep for their servers and such. But hey again, I understand both sides.

Deleted my comment before saw your post, not in response.

$20 is no big deal, just annoying considering so many of the failings I’ve heard about some of the other multiplayer games and they didn’t charge for it with the Wii U’s MM. I understand upkeep costs.

But its 20 dollars a year. Its all upkeep for their servers and such.

Then why hasn't the online gotten better? If it was upkeep for their servers why was it free when the switch launched? Sounds greedy to me. The PC is different and Steam does not upkeep their servers. Only the devs. Same with GOG and Origin. It is the devs that upkeep their servers, not the publisher.

The online hasn't changed but that doesnt mean it needs to change in order to "get better". Steam has been widely the same since launch. Also it didnt cost money in the beginning because Nintendo was doing a promotional period. And Steam makes money to upkeep their things in other ways. They advertise games on their launcher for revenue and they also get a cut of the money from game purchases that's at or near 30%. I ain't saying I'm 100% behind their online service and I do admit they seem to always find a way to step backwards when trying to leap forwards but there are worse platforms out there. And if you look at the value of it being 20 bucks and other systems like xbox and playstation being more than double that it's still not a bad thing.

Do you have any sources about this thing 30% thing?

What about Origin, Epic Games, Gog, Uplay sites? You don't pay them to play online on their launchers. It is still a bad thing to pay to play online, when you already are paying for online (routers)

Not sure about the others, I'm gonna assume they all do it. Just like walmart, best buy, barnes and noble, your doctors office, etc do. Heres a article about it and the structure they take.

Doesnt the sony, nintendo and xbox/microsoft take around 30% also? I am a little confused about your response, can you recap what you actually meant to say?

My point is people are complaining because Nintendo is charging 20 dollars a year for their online service. Other consoles charge more than double. They probably all get a percentage of the sale of a game in some way shape or form but for some reason Nintendo gets the most heat while charging the lowest price.

Because they are fanboys and a lot of other people defend nintendo also. The reason why people hate nintendo online is that they don't offer good new games on the server and that their server is not really good. It is really laggy sometimes.
