I feel stupid but I have only ever bought devices that are open or able to be jailbroken. I don't get how sometimes when the jail walled garden bdsm relationship punishes it's people, they react with a gasp, as if they thought their locked hardware that isn't open to their owner that they "have" isn't made for exactly that purpose?

It's like yeah Janet. It's why you brought it. So you can play only their games and watch their movies and enjoy things that they decide the price and allowance of. You selected that? You chose to hire this device? Well I split mine open to use it for what it can do. No drm has ever succeeded. It's a grift protected by laziness and - as always, lawyers and lobbyists who have yet to grow up

The only reason they sold any was because the console released with like one game, which seems to be the same strategy this time around too.

Makes sense, but if it's only $10 it should just be free. $10 isn't worth the bad PR and they should want this tour thing in as many hands as possible.

So it's a $10 tutorial? Don't care how expansive and cool it is, that's just fucked. The project scope should've been adjusted to make sure it would be free.

This is one of the dumber decisions Nintendo has made, and they put out the Wii U.

Nintendo is being exclusively run by suits now. The era of a game company built by gamers is over.

I think this money grab wouldn't have gotten as much run in the media if it hadn't been front and center in the Direct. Feels like a misstep, but then, so does €90 Mario Kart...
