I couldn't even make this up. Such a weird thing to do. Won't help with the kiddy console jokes tho.
Thinking about 3rd party relations, this is probably just one of the reasons why 2013 looks so barren. 4 hours a day for selling a product... what is this, the stone age?
Who at NOE was honestly saying: Yep, giving 18+ games 3 hours a day to sell on the eshop, and completely removing the ability to rate 18+ games in germany is a great idea. 3rd parties will love it and gamers will appreciate being patronized and protected.
This is just so retarded, and further testimony to this companies complete lack of understanding of the current market.
Well good thing about a free market is that companies like these will be weeded out eventually unless they adapt. Nintendo slept on the HD boom, and they are completely missing the Digital Distribution Train as well. Maybe next time.
