Workers should feel more secure in their Nintendo jobs than with positions at Xbox Game Studios. Statistics confirm that Nintendo's employee turnover rate is well below industry averages. Analysts believe that the company's rigid control over the development of Switch 2 games leads to the stability.

    Nintendo, the company that makes gamers pay them $500 for a new console every 4 years, and then $80 for a new skin of the exact same game every 2 years, and calls it innovations and consumer friendliness.

    Nintendo is a fuckwad company. Gamers are just gaslit cause they like a character that Nintendo owns the copyright to.

      I’m pretty sure the Switch 1 is older than 4 years (and was cheaper than $500). And their games are actually quite good.

      So Nintendo might be a fuckwad company, but your comment is still full of bullshit.

        No my comment just uses normal human language to convey a point instead of min/maxing precision.

          Using years and hundreds of dollars is not min/maxing precision. That’s a stupid excuse for something you should own up because your made up numbers detract from your point. If the numbers don’t matter then this shouldn’t make your argument look ridiculous.

          Nintendo, the company that makes gamers pay them $5000 for a new console every year, and then $800 for a new skin of the exact same game every month, and calls it innovations and consumer friendliness.

          You can’t just make up numbers and expect to have reasonable argument. By making up numbers you’re just opening yourself up to criticism (which it seems you can’t take) even if the actual point you’re making is right.

            Here’s the thing. You’re not arguing against their point you’re arguing about the specific figures not being entirely accurate.

            Watching you two go feral over specificity doesn’t convince anyone of anything, it just makes people hostile to talking to you because now they feel they have to hedge everything, because if not you’ll reply with

            “You’re*”

            And ignore the whole argument they made. Nobody wants to engage with that level of nitpicking pedantry.

            Being right isn’t always worth it, because you put the other person in defense mode, show you don’t care about the spirit of the argument as much as the letter, and essentially insult the person in the process.

            You’re right, you’re just shit at conversational strategy. Enjoy the fights. That’s all you’re having.

              When the point is that the Nintendo company charges gamers too much money, the accuracy of the amount of money being charged is relevant, no?
