I'm not reading through a 25 page thread lol. A quick summary like the one you just provided covers it though.
-It won't alienate the Japanese base because they are not giving up on the Japanese market. The goal is to expand west, not cut off what they already have.
-The contract is bull. I also think if Switch doesn't get this new MH, it will get a MH of its own down the road.
-I don't know what that last part means.
Well, a mainline game on a different console WOULD alienate the japanese market for sure.
It was a different story if it was only a spinoff mh on ps4.
