Offers too little for too much. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 1 year ago (1 child) Maybe if it was 349 or 399... but 499 is wild permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 year ago (1 child) That's not even the biggest issue for me. The $80 games that never get discounted will cost a lot more than that pretty quickly. Plus I know they push their subscription service too. As a PC gamer, fuck that. I'll play cheap better games on my free operating system that I actually control on my hardware that I can repair and replace easily. Nintendo games interest me, but not nearly at the price they're asking for with what they're offering. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Venator@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 year ago* Also on PC you don't need to pay a premium for mobile device parts if you have no need for them. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) Just yesterday I spent 3 hours playing MK8D on my PC. Cozy on my bed and a controller + a remote keyboard. Felt like the real deal. Edit: Why the downvotes? Is emulation so frowned upon here? permalink fedilink source parent [–] Psythik@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago I hope you're right. Nintendo has turned into a bunch of cocky assholes and they need to be taught a hard lesson. I hope the Switch 2 flops so hard, costing them so much that they don't have any spare money left to continue suing the Palworld devs. They need to be put in their place. permalink fedilink source parent [–] psud@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago The guy doing the teardown recommended you wait until a third party company makes a drift proof module to replace the same as last version joystick decoders permalink fedilink source parent
