There's no fee on DLC and patches, too.

Great news until we're bombarded with new patches every other time we start a game.
As long as they fix stuff which otherwise would go unpatched, I say let them come.Great news until we're bombarded with new patches every other time we start a game.
I'd download that update several times in a row.Good news, few posts. I heard there is a day 1 update but it rapes your wife and makes you watch the 3rd matrix movie. Then it charges the dev 5 bucks a rape.
Most of the time a game will just update in the background on Steam so long as Steam's running.Does this happen with Steam?
if nintendo gave baconsammy a free blowjob he would complain that it encourages infidelity

Didn't the Fez dev say "fuck it I'm not patching the game" because of the high price for patching the game?
Awesome news

Is the shop going to be up day one?
If it's the 360 approach where it patches rather than replaces, it should go quickly. If it's the PS3 method of replacing and then installing, then it becomes a pain. We'll know when this guy finishes his Wii U patch update and pops in Assassins Creed 3 how Wii U game patches are handled, because if I remember right Ubisoft said it was going to have a day 1 patch.

If Nintendo sticks to all of this, indies will flock to them in droves. MS and Sony will be all but abandoned. This is literally sea-change huge. Possibly the biggest development news of the year. Completely excellent in every way.
Haveri also noted Miiverse is something Frozenbyte definitely has its eye on, not just in terms of letting Miis run around and interact, but creating a social avenue that might allow developers to more directly communicate with fans. It's something that's a bit unprecedented in gaming, but is an experiment that might well be worth a developer's time.
No charge for patches is bigger news IMO. Would be great for MS and Sony to do the same thing.
As for setting the price, don't Sony and MS already allow publishers to set the price for digital games?

I think part of Iwata's Master Plan is to foster the digital download/indie development scene on Wii U. They've become huge proponents of the whole platform this year.
Yeah, it's supposedly thousands of dollars. I believe Phil Fish said it could be anywhere in between 10,000 and 40,000 dollars.
Nice. Very nice."They have pushed away all of the old methods that have been established before," Haveri told me. "Simply put they've told us that there are no basic payments for each patch (which were pretty high on most platforms) and that we can update our game almost as much as we want. For indie developers this is huge."
I can definitely see smaller indie devs leaving Microsoft next gen and just sticking with Steam and the Wii U barring something shocking happening.

I dont think MS allows free stuff. But they do allow publishers to set the price. Sony is the same way.
