>buy console>need to pay extra money to play onlineWhy did gamers allow this in the first place?
No really how do people tolerate this? The only console I ever own is the Nintendo one, and I always pirate in it, so it's not like I enjoy the online for too long. The concept of paying for online sounds so disgusting to me. I already pay for my Internet, I already paid for the game, why do I have to pay even more?
>>724228325If you don't like it, why did you buy the console? It's people like you that makes companies think it's allowed.
>>724228325Gamers didn't, casuals and normies didThat and many other reasons are why gen 7 was the beginning of the gaming dark ages
yeah, it sucks but at least it's super cheap on switch. 10 bucks a year on a family plan isn't really worth getting asshurt about
Xbox released a total of two good consoles and somehow still managed to ruin console gaming forever before fucking dying
>>724228325Because games aren't made for gamers anymore. The normies that used to not understand gaming are now the largest piece of the pie.They're the same mongoloids that love sports and buy the newest NBA2k, FIFA, MaddenNFL, along with Call of Duty, and any other FPS slop.They have zero standards as long as it "looks good" on the surface.And women too. Look at every last Switch best seller:>Comfy Animal Crossing>Aimless Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild>Cute Link's Awakening>ANOTHER Link's Awakening but you play as Zelda>ANYONE CAN WIN Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart WorldGames don't need gamers anymore, so why care about quality or standards of old?

>>724229106That's a different problem At face value, it's not bad, but for all the other games retro enthusiasts want, you need to pay moreDon't care about online or retro gaming, but want to have/retrieve your data backups? Nintendo has you covered! for a nominal monthly/ yearly fee of course Trying to 100% current and future games? Better have nso to get that one thing that would otherwise prevent you from completionnso, and the way nintendo is utilizing it to scam as many demographics as possible is top tier scumbag corpo shitThe money isn't the issue, at least not for me, it's the principle
>>724228325Blame xbox
>>724228325shit for brains
>>724229396if you don't like the service, don't buy it. simple as
>>724229351Specifically fucking Beastboy.
>>724229250Hit the nail on the headNot op, but for me, gaming has been my "all in" hobby/ interest since my earliest fragmented memories of smb and duck huntI can't leave it, even though it abandoned me years agoI have conflicting feelings towards those who have seen the rise and fall of gaming, and grew complacent as long as something comes along often enough to fill the "new game" voidI just wait, to see what degenerate turn gaming takes next, hoping that someday shit goes back to some sense of proper normalcy
>>724228325>Buy console>Have to pay extra for online>Have to pay extra for a controller>Have to pay extra for a game to playFinancially stupid. Even more so when you realize if you mess up at the first step and buy a PS5, the last step is impossible to accomplish.
>>724229632And for those who knew and preferred the virtual console? Be a good consoomer or deal?Complacent fucks like you are part of the problem
>>724229715go fucking pirate your stupid NES games then, i do not give a fuck
>>724229702There are ton of PS games, retard
>>724228325I have no idea. That's part of the reason I got into PC gaming. I could kind of understand paying a small fee to play on nintendo/microsoft/sony servers, but paying them to play on a 3rd party server is completely fucking retarded. Not to mention being forced to pay for all this other bullshit I don't even want. Fuck consoles.
>>724229789nor do I give a fuck about you being a ninpaypig
>>724230123which is why you started acting like a whiny bitch in the first place? go be a stupid faggot somewhere else
>>724228325Xbox started all this shitThe casuals just went "I can afford to do it so why not?" Everyone saw how much microsoft was making and decided to copy themNintendo has no business charging for it with how shit their online is and how it never improved since the dsJust about every shit decision with consoles comes from microsoft doing it first and everyone copying them the next generation
>>724228325consoletards didn't know better>>724228882saaaaar
>>724230663And being a smug consoomer is better? Don't you have a "new" game that's 3% different from every other game released in the last 10 years to buy at full price+tip?
>>724230672>Nintendo has no business charging for it with how shit their online isBro. Bullshit like this is unironically part of the reason for why this bullshit business model even persists. By stating that Nintendo has no business charging for it because the online experience is shit on Nintendo's systems, you're implying that it's ok to pay for it on the other systems because they provide some kind of online service or whatever that could be worth being charged for. But that's bullshit. The vast, vast, vast majority of games do not use Xbox's, Playstation's, Nintendo's servers. You're not paying for some service. It is not a service. You are just being extorted. Be it on Xbox, Playstation, or Nintendo.
>>724230908This.Not entirely, but certainly partially why 360 was my last Xbox, my last PS was 4, and switch 1 will be my last Nintendo system until everyone starts trying againBut I also feel like >>724230672 has some valid points too, the core problem is the casuals and normies that became the sole democratic in gen 7. There are lots of other factors, but domino effect from the shift in focus is the leading cause of most of the industry's problems
>>724228325Xbox Live was miles beyond what the other consoles were offering so it was somewhat justified. Sony saw how much money it was making and copied it and that was when the Xbone shit the bed so everybody shifted to PS and had no option. Nintendo just followed the others.
>>724230730why are people calling the aquaposter a jeet?
>>724228972live was also paid on the original xbox
>>724229351Comic Starfire is the only good Starfire
>>724228325it is the reason i stopped buying consoles as well.Not only that here in South america we don't have regional pricing for console games
>>724228325love starfirehttps://litter.catbox.moe/irb0w3h0ybts6af6.png
>>724232884Sudaca here. What console do you recommend?
>>724233115none.in the long run you will get fucked over by vidya prices.Pc is more expensive at first but in the long run you save a ton of money. you also can play older games and pirate much easier.
>>724233270But consoles are comfy
>>724234073then get an older console and pirate it
>>724228882dung eater and joke stealer
>>724232981>aislop
>>724228325>Why did gamers allow thisYou can thank xbox for that!
>>724235034yes, it is great for porn without having to pay 50$ for one image or wait on the artists will to do stuff
Because online play is optional. You're paying for an extra service.
>>724229189>Xbox released a total of two good consolesYour console can't be considered "good' if it only has 2 good games.
