They got rich because the Switch was something new, cheap, and the games had normalish pricing. Also corona played a big role, GPU market got pwned by mining back then, and many other reasons. I bought a Switch because i could not upgrade my GPU back in 2021 (1st console i bought after 15 years). It was a better value than other consoles and offered something the others had not.
Man the company had around $ 6 Billion profits in 2024. Profits, not revenue. The audacity to raise prices of games while they are more rich than ever.
I guess im gonna rename my Nintendo Switch Profile to Luffy 😂
The puzzle is complete now i guess. The witch hunting of all these years is explained. I also have a feeling that the CEO of Microsoft persuade them to go with this scheme, so Microsoft can follow (if i remember correctly, they had some meetings). Nintendo fans were always more acceptable to shit than Microsoft fans.
I somehow payed only 60€ for TOTK. The rest i could find them around 40€. 3rd party even lower. 1st party always physical, 3rd party only digital when big sales come in place (around 10-15€).
For console gaming it was not that bad. Not comparing to PC gaming or the prices that old games should have ofc (putting 70€ for BOTW on Switch 2 is a big joke).
We will see. If they lose a big share of the Switch 1 owners without many new members buying the console, it is a loss for them.
Amen!!!
They are not more greedy, but they think they got an opportunity now. Games industry is bigger than Film industry. They earn an amazing amount of money due to how many more are playing games now than in 2010 did. Revenue of 2024 was 10 times higher than of 2010…
I don’t know about HDDs but for SSDs they hit a very low price last September 2023, and the companies decided to cut production so the prices go up again. It worked, today SSD drives are more expensive than last year. I bet they did something similar to the HDD, but it’s only hypothetical.
For some people sarcasm is a unknown thing.
Google’s main goal is privacy and costumers happiness, Trump’s is democracy and Putin’s is peace.
I trust them. They showed that they only care for their customers and not for maximizing profits.
New Outlook for Windows sucks. I tried it a few months ago and it is like a mobile app for idiots. It lacks many settings and many things. It is like windows 11, you need to do extra steps for stuff and settings you want. Also if you have only a standalone office and not a Office365 subscription they have ads, like their mobile app. Fucking Microsoft.
Oh SHIT. I had a feeling since months, as an end-user, that something wasn’t going well. But damn, i did not know that was that bad.
Yes but i am not talking over a running system through AI, i only say as a backup for redundancy only, which takes control to save you and tells AI to shut the fuck up.
A genius! For decades, all carmakers have tried to fix human errors and compensate for our lack of abilities. Then there’s Elon, cutting out technologies because “humans don’t have them.”
Man these cars don`t have a Radar ? Only eyes like most of the animals? Not even as a backup ? Not talking about Lasers, but Radar? Truck drivers, better not paint a scenery on the back of your truck.
I use Feeder for android. I have nothing else, and now i am searching this FreshRSS, you all mentioned 🫣
Wait a moment. I always thought that Plex’s servers only facilitate authentication (to verify your account) and discovery (to help your device find your server). They do not handle the actual media data. And if there is no Direct Remote Access, Relay usage is capped at 1 minute per day for free users. This looks like a cash grab to me.
I hope they release a Steam Deck 2. The current model isn’t on par with the next Nintendo Switch, and I consider it outdated. However, the Steam library is massive, so it’s still appealing.
