Stumbled upon this video, which kind of summarizes the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJxaIP8F3K8

In summary

  • lack of risk taking by the industry
  • lack of creativity
  • industry prioritizes profit by making games compatible with the previous consoles generation
  • removal of split screen
  • outdated voice communication compared to PC Discord
  • disabled voice communication by default

For people here who have a current console, what do you think about this?

I refuse to get a Switch because, I genuinely dislike Nintendo as a company. Though thats for another time.

Absolutely wild to hate Nintendo but support Microsoft or Sony 😅 they've got their share of sins, sure, but they aren't nearly as anti-competitive or scummy as the other two, especially not if you look deeper than the surface.

Just as other people have reasons to dislike certain companies, so do I have mine to dislike Nintendo as a whole. The reason why I didn’t went into it fully is because this isn’t the right thread for it.

However if you want a deeper dive into my reasons, let me know. I’ll let you know but might take few days as I’m currently lying sick in bed.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
