I'm really OK with that, but taking that shit online service in comparison with other companies is pathetic. Nintendo Online service is ages behind any other company. How can Nintendo fanboys even accept that service?
Its just like Pokemon game removing pokemons, content and increasing the price, people are OK with that so probably next Pokemon version will be less for more.
IMO Nintendo fanboys lost the right of whinning about Sony and Microsoft raising their next gen price. But hey, as soon as you make a critic about Nintendo someone will reply with Japan sales.
Meh. The online service is cheap. 20 bucks a year? Fuck, it's so cheap I don't even remember how much it cost me.
It gets the job done and doesn't break the bank. Easy decision.
It's interesting to me that gaming is probably one of the only areas in all my consumer activities where you can be labelled a "fanboy" for being willing to pay for, or *gasp* enjoy, a service or product.
Like sometimes when I go to the local shop they don't have what I wanted or there's a queue or the lady at the deli counter has fucked off for an hour. On top of that they overcharge on some stuff for sure.
If I decide to go back there because they are local or whatever reason my neighbors don't come round and start screeching about being a "fanboy" or "defending them" or other equally stupid shit.
Sometimes I like to order some food for delivery on the weekends when I can't be arsed to cook.
Once in a while they will fuck up the order.
Now, this is either so minor that I just eat it anyway or it's major enough that I have to phone them back and get them to sort it.
What doesn't happen is my wife starts berating me for being a "fanboy" of that particular restaurant.
Cos that would be fucking stupid.
Bars, Restaurants, Gas Stations, Movie Theaters, Supermarkets, Malls, Book shops. I have my preferred ones that I always go to and the service isn't always great but I get what I want at a price I am willing to pay so it's all good.
Do the same with videogames? "Reeeeeeeeeeeeeee! FANBOYS!"
Oh my god? Nintendo made some cardboard crafting thing for kids? OK. I don't really care.
Holy shit! Say it isn't so! Nintendo are making some video about a theme park attraction? Eeeeeh... OK? I guess? Not really my thing.
"Nintendo won't meet my Outrageous Demands!!! Anyone who doesn't care is just a blind anti-consumer fanboy who defends corporations!"
