This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Nintendo did it to control their three markets separately. JP games came earlier and Nintendo carefully planned when games were available in each market. They also did it cause some regions were cheaper and they didn't want anyone not paying NintendoTax™.

People will argue Switch 2 isn't region locked, but I'll be fucked if Japanese only language in JP Switch 2 isn't a region locking mechanism. That thing is half off in Japan compared to EU. Maybe its not a traditional lock but they're doing selective exclusion.
