Switch So, I have the Switch 2 now. (Discussion/Rant)

What would interest me, how are things going with the games you buy in stores. Do you have to download them or are they on the cartridge saved and you can start playing right away??? Because this seems to be such a confusing topic.
 
It's funny, but Sony and Microsoft are the only gaming companies that have officially lost my business. Sony for repeated hardware failures, Microsoft for hardware and software failures. But I have been nothing short of thrilled with how reliable and user-friendly the Switch has been. We're still using our launch-era model we picked up back in 2017, which works just as well as the day we brought it home 😇

Do I plan on getting a Switch 2, though? Absolutely not. Not because of Nintendo, but because my own interest in modern gaming has fallen right off a cliff >_>

The lawsuit stuff, I really couldn't give a rip. Just Nintendo being Nintendo, in my eyes. They did this kind of thing back in the 90s, too - and, heck, maybe even the 80s?? I know they weren't fans of stores offering their games as rentals, and may have tried to sue to block that from happening, if memory serves.

They also had that stupid "five games per publisher" rule in the NES days that resulted in companies like Konami (re-branding their games as "Ultra") and Atari (rebranding as "Tengen") looking for workarounds, among others. Then there was the whole claim they tried to have on Tetris, which effectively ended the Tengen brand.

Was I aware of any of this, back in the day? Nope! And would it have kept me from playing? Nope! They made a product I enjoyed using. And they still do. That's it.

Anyone venting about how "evil" Nintendo is - while also using a Microsoft, Google, Amazon, or Apple device to post those claims online - is seriously picking-and-choosing which tech companies they've decided to have a beef with 😅
 
I don't know about "No Man Sky" update/upgrade for Switch 2 in particular, but I owned that game physical on Switch 1 for a little while and all of the updates were free and pretty huge in content, and surely it was cool, in other games they would have been paid dlc!
I don't have the S2 and for now I'm ok with the consoles I have, just writing this to say I'm really sorry people and you are being bullied for which consoles they own :(
Luckily when I was in high school it never happened to me, I must say when I told my classmates I was playing FF8 on pc, one of them kindly lent me the official guide!!
I'm happy you're enjoying the games you're playing on your new console!
