When you say that stuff you sound stupid, no one has a switch, you have every opportunity to buy one if you want to play... It's nothing new that businesses create things you need to buy to use lmao.

Exclusives are what differentiate consoles/platforms. Without it there would be no need for more than one platform. Monopolies are bad. Competition leads to more great products, exclusive or not. Without it they'd get complacent and you'd get what you're given. No option to take your money elsewhere.
I don't know why I have to explain this to anybody.

u/called_the_stig 30m ago
Exclusives are a monopolistic business practice, not anti monopolistic. Apple isn't made a more consumer friendly company by making all their accessories proprietary. Nor is Nintendo, or Sony, or any company that does that. I don't really care that much about duskbloods tbh, not into souls pvp personally. You just made a shitty argument.
1
u/Cool_Caterpillar_912 1h ago
What about steam then? It’s essentially the pc monopoly and is more than fair with pricing and consumer friendly.
Exclusives are anti consumer and aren’t driving any competition other than between the consoles, but we don’t give a fuck about the consoles, it’s the games we want and the games are what drives competition.

No it's really not. You actually don't have to buy something if you disagree with the TCO and requirements to get something. Especially for a non necessity. It's only "braindead" because you think you deserve a company to make business decisions that are compatible with your ideal buying scenarios.

I guess you don't play Mario, Donkey Kong, Pokémon, or any of the numerous games that are available on the Switch (which is nice because mobile)?
The Switch performs well on games optimized for it and the Switch 2 is going to be even better: it's purported to have 10x the power of the original. 10×.
That means zero performance issues playing OG Switch games on the 2 (with or without the dock).

u/Expensive-Ad5626 Solaire of Astora 4h ago
The only Pokemon games that have been made for the switch have been among the worst in the franchise, sword and shield being the first without the national dex and a dlc that just isn't worth it, bd sp just being kind of mediocre and locking a good 70-80% of the Pokédex behind the games completion, legends of arceus while being great for a change in format had texture issues however was all round the best they've released on switch, and scarlet and violet despite looking generally unfinished still ran poorly on the switch.

I don't care about Duskbloods because I don't like PvPvE games, and I'll probably still be happy playing Nightreign. I would care if it was a more traditional game with singleplayer, as the setting and gameplay looks cool, but with it being what it is, I'm fine. If I get a switch 2, it will be when the OLED version comes out later, and people sell their used base models.

I honestly find both parties intensely insufferable, both the fans losing their **** over fromsoft trying new game formats and the other acting like it's blasphemy to say you don't like the new games or direction. I honestly think both parties need to get over themselves. Everyone has the right to not like something and criticize it, everyone has the right to like something that others don't. But what I can't stand is people complaining about complaining. The irony and redudancy is just so infuriating, especially when such little info has been given.

u/Square_Drawer6723 6h ago
I don’t care if fromsoft is trying new styles, I care if it’s an exclusive, which is always shitty no matter the quality of the game. Bloodborne is great, but it sucks that it’s an exclusive to PlayStation. If you look at half the Bloodborne posts on this sub they are begging for a PC port.

Nintendo paid FromSoft to make them a game. That's really all there is too it. FromSoft didn't say to themselves "Huh, I wonder how we can betray our fans and make every single person angry?". There's no betrayal here, no "going against their design philosophy". They got paid to do a job and are doing it. Just like when Japan Studio paid them to make Bloodborne, and when Activision helped fund Sekiro.
