Why does digital foundry feel the need to dogpile on something like this? Like, they gave no reason for it. Is it just outrage view farming? I don't really buy that they are trying to expose shovelware - everyone knows about it, and ultimately it is up to nintendo. It's also probably good that there is a low barrier of entry to get stuff on the switch, even if it results in stuff like this.
I like digital foundry, but this is braindead on arrival.
He kinda made it seem like this is below shovelware and is almost like a total scam.
Reused graphical/sound unity assets and 18 minutes of gameplay…. The main point is why is Nintendo allowing this on their store.
idk, to me it's kind of lazy content. There is no analysis of the Nintendo store or switch refund policy, no discussion about what effect this would have, no context about shovelware on the Wii and gba... it's just let's point and laugh at this game. The only effect is has is giving the game clout. The devs probably appreciate the coverage ultimately.
I didn't know it was this bad. I appreciated the video.
