Can somebody explain to me how Nintendo is the only company that's actively thriving in their Golden Age while every other company (Steam, Sony, Xbox, Pocket Pair, etc.) is crashing and burning all around them?
>golden ageOh brother
>>747346316Actually giving a shit about their fans, unlike Sony and PC.
>>747346427Let me take a wild guess, you're a Cubesnoy that romanticizes the pre-2017 dark age of Nintendo.
>>747346460If they gave a shit about their fans they'd make a new 3d mario and smash
What did Steam do?
what did steam do?
>>747346316>Pocket Pairfucking who?
>>747346316They are a videogame company first and understand the gaming landscape on a deeper and more personal level than the two computer and electronics mega-corporations. They are more conservative and less risky in their buisness endeavors as well.
>>747346607>>747346672>Literal cultist hivemind
Sony have made retarded decisions but have you seen their sales?
>>747346562next year, trust the plan
>>747346316This template is annoying
ok but really what did steam do
>>747346772>ask obvious question>HIVEMINDSeething tendie
>>747346316>actively thriving>Golden Age
>>747346607>>747346672>raising prices and constantly shitting on their cult fans>Steam Deck was a massive flop and was further humiliated by the Switch 2
>>747346427I'm old enough to experienced the SNES and N64 eras first hand. While those were the best Nintendo years, you would have to be absolutely insane to think the GC/Wii/WiiU years were better than what Nintendo is doing now with the Switch and Switch 2.
who/what the fuck is pocket pair?
>Steam is crashing and burning>Nintendo releasing all the goyslop is thrivingI keep forgetting what 60 IQ thoughts look likethanks for reminding me, OP
>>747347079>raising prices and constantly shitting on their cult fansAnd Nintendon't?
>>747347052>PCsnoys literally make the same exact post within the same minute in defense to their masters being criticized>youre not allowed to call this out youre a """tendie"""
Tendie fatigue thread
>>747347209>OP says steam shot itself>ask how so>CULTIST! SLAVE! HIVEMIND!Concession accepted
What did steam do?
>>747347079you do know that your tendie toy has horrible value, right?
>>747347052
>>747347079>raising pricesOn what? Steam is free
>>747347350put blizzard in here too
Success breeds jealousy.
>>747347079so? nintendo just raised the sw2 to 500$
>>747346772Lol. I only have a shitty laptop and Switch 2.>>747347079Isn't it the publishers who decide the price or did Steam raise their cut?
>>747347178One day Paco, you WILL get that butler's job on Gabe's yacht! You just gotta believe!
>>747347178Judaism and woke diversity is found on the PlayStation, anon. Their games are all about pushing THE MESSAGE.
>>747347554this but nintendothere's never been a worse time to be a cultist that can only afford a tendie toy
>>747346706>>747347171The creators of Snoyworld.Funny how the so-called "Pokémon killer" ended up crashing and dying off within 2 weeks after its release.
>>747347350>>747347441>literal tendie hivemind
>valve killed physical 20 years ago>durr wHaT sTeaM dO bRo??????Fucking cultists
>>747346316hehe funny pink ball and bird lady go brrrrrrr
>>747347798>b-but mug plasticNobody cares, ranjesh
>>747347778>N-NO UPathetic. >>747346772
>>747347798physical is better off dead than tied to consoles where you need permission to have an internet browserit's reduced to a collectible, you're like smeagol, everything about you is worthless and you need to cling to one thing that isn't dogshit
>>747346316they made a cult out of their brand and cultists out of their consoomers
>>747347870I see I hit a nerve there. Just pointing out the hilarious irony
>>747347869Here comes the cultist trying to argue ownership is worthless
>>747346316Nintendo is perpetually 15 years behind the curve. 15 years ago it meant they had games while everyone else transitioned to nogames. Nowadays they are at nogames phase but still better than whatever the fuck everyone else's doing.
>>747347997>physical = ownershipFucking lmao Sony proved that wasn’t true already
>>747346672Steam Deck price increase. That's it.
>>747346316They just keep doing what they do best - make games for all ages. Basically the Valve model.
>>747347968Steamies deny reality to suck gaben cock as he cannibalizes your platform, I'm just posting facts.
>>747346672Invent lootboxes.
>>747346554Can you have a conversation without this stupid console war garbage
>>747347129Even N64 era wasn't that great. That was right in the midst of their draconian ways alienating all the third parties, which explains why the 64 (and later GC) library was like 1/10 of the PS1. SNES and Switch 1/2 are their golden ages.
>>747348124>valve>make games???
>>747348179it's never been bettermeanwhile tendies get at most 10 games that can't be played on pc that can justify their existence
>>747348050All your steam games are locked to one account, physical isn't tied to any account. Youre a disingenuous cattle
>>747348231Shouldn't you making a thread right now about how Melee isn't a rushed overrated piece of shit and Nintendo is "LE EVIL" for fixing glitches?
>>747348231>console war thread>uhhhh can you not console war please
>>747348295>it's never been betterYou weren't alive when it was better
>>747348179>just posting factsYa me too I’m just pointing out that two tendies posted the same tendie seethe image at the same timeFunny, almost like a hivemind
>>747347079>raising pricesevery single company did this>constantly shitting on their cult fanstheyre the lesser offender. steam still has the best customer support>Steam Deckmaybe you have a point here but i wouldnt know. i dont play on console
>>747348379???you do know you can play old games on pc, right? there's no one telling you that you can't, like consoles
>>747346316Nintendo still lets some loli stuff on their consoles and produces some of it themselves. Lolis are like the canary in the coal mine for enshittification, the moment they go it is pretty much over.
>*the same slop again*>"lolz le ebin win lmao xD"Wasn't Nintendo supposed to be the innovative one?
>>747346316Steam made $11b the first half of this year. Pocketpair sold more copies of Palworld than any Pokeyman game. Nintendo has no games. Explain how they're winning.
>>747348575>Pocketpair sold more copies of Palworld than any Pokeyman gamesSnoys are fucking delusional, holy shit.
>every console company shitting the bed>PC is as good as everFeels fucking good bros
>>747348671Show me one Pokeyman game that sold 40m.
>>747346772So just like the tendies with Nintendo?
>>747348086>Hardware increases in price while every producer of hardware components is busing selling their souls to AI through exclusive contractsI'm more surprised the entire stock isn't unavailable. AI and data centers have been buying up everything and leaving nothing for anyone else.
>>747348575Steam are clearly leaving the gaming market as evident of them investing more into yachts than investing in games, you can't think in the future to see how the world is changing and thinks everything stays the same. Valve sees the winds and is pivoting
>>747348701PC is slowly dying though. More people are progressively switching to Nintendo than ever.
>>747348776>Nintendo out of nowhere Steamiesnoyxbotshilljeetgoyimjews are literal cultists who can't help but console war
>>747348701>>PC is as good as everLOL
>>747348701>as everTrue it was always pretty shit
>>747348837I think the right move would've been discontinuing the Steam Deck.
>>747348939>>Nintendo out of nowhere??? >>747346316
>>747348934>>747348949>>747348967>3 immediate seethe replieskekypow
will tendies EVER learn?
isn't steam having the most profitable era of its existence right now
>>747346316they hired woman, Nintendo didn't, it's that simple
>>747349052I fail to see what you're talking about.
>>747348934lmaotendies bought a console with no games on launch and they claim people are switching
>>747346316You think this is what a golden age looks like?? Brother we are in hell
>>747346316>goytendo>thrivingGuess you missed their last direct, or are just knowingly ignorant. lol.
>>747349134The whole thread is about Nintendo.
>>747349020Making a new PC is more expensive than ever.If the Steamdeck is the bargain option, even 30% more expensive than it was last year, it's still got a niche in the market.God, this timeline sucks.
>most repulsive console generation since the PS3/wii, zero desire to engage in any of this trash>wow how are we winning so hard guise?shills are so desperate it's hilarious, you wouldn't need this sort of trashy inorganic thread otherwise
>>747346316>has lost 40% of its peak value in 1 year>golden ageMy goy, Nintendo is in deep shit. They are bleeding money, their games are not selling, hardware costs are destrouying their margins, and they have no plan on how to improve shit. They have zero games coming next year. The OOT demake will be another major blunder.
>>747349227>Nintendo out of nowhere You losers just can't help it, can you?
>>747349297>zerothey have kirby, that's one
>>747349342Ok so you are just pretending to be retarded, or maybe you are actually retarded, I mean you are a tendie after all.
>>747349428Can't be as retarded as a gaben dick licker lmao
>>747349053>get pointed out youre wrong>U MAD BRO lol childish response
>>747349428And then you snoys and PCsnoys proceed to wonder why you're always voted as the worst fanbases.
>>747346316Whats up with this tendie jihad against Palworld?
>>747347079>steam deck was a massive flop>still consistent sold out even after raising pricesYeah okay.
PCsteamies not taking the news well I see
>>747346607>>747346672They accidently released a bunch of information they weren't supposed and are about to get skullfucked by hundreds of lawsuits.
>>747349821Compare the sales of the steam deck to the Switch so we can laugh at you.
>>747349790Nooooooo they're not mindlessly sucking off some soulless rust clone UEslop it's a jihad!!!!
>>747349891steam deck didn't have any anticonsumer practices encouraging its purchase
What valve have done'st?
>>747347079Mentioning raising prices for steam is so funny when Nintendo is the company known for porting 30 year old games to current consoles and slapping a full price $70 tag on them like thats fine
>>747349891i don't understand what you mean by this
>>747349891Don't need to compare. A flop is when a released product causes a loss. The steam deck released and consistently sells though it's stock, therefore it is a success. That said, I can't recommend it to anyone after the price hike, but it's still selling for some reason.
>>747349891Compare PC sales for one quarter to lifetime Switch/Switch 2 sales combined.>but they're not gaming PCs Yet they're powerful enough to play more games than all Nintendo consoles combined.
>>747346316nintendo cultivated a cult who will buy their 20th switch controller due to stick drift and think its good
>>747350075>portingYou mean packaging them together with modified versions of open source emulators. Nintendo would technically have to provide you with the source code to them if you asked them to comply with the liscrnse.
>>747350412Do they really do that? MS wrote their own Xbox emu for BC.
>>747349826>say moronic shit>SHUT UP, I WON BECAUSE I SAY SO!
PCfaggots have such severe Nintendo Derangement Syndrome, it's genuinely insane.
>>747346316>put all your eggs in the AAA game basket>AAA games become unfinished jokes with horribly designed characters and dialogue, day 1 DLC>"OMG, what happened?"This is like betting the 1992 Chicago Bulls will win every game for the next 20 years. Nigga, they retire. Those teams change up.>Steam crashing and burningYeah, oh poor Valve. Only going to get eight billion this year.
>>747350520Yes, it was proven when people looked at the game files. Its also what they did with the mini NES, it was just a retoarch machine.
>>747350673>Yeah, oh poor Valve. Only going to get eight billion this year.They made $11b before July.
>>747347798You're delusional if you think physical wasn't already on it's way out. Steam just swooped in at the right time to take advantage of it.
>>747347798physical sucks dick, so this seems like a virtue
>>747349608>pointed out that you’re wrong>”uhhh no it sucks lol”Kekypow
>>747346316When Sony stole their shit for the Playstation they took a long hard look at their company and said what is our strategy?XBOX and SNOY had said to develop cool cutting edge hardware for graphicsNintendo said to develop ever-green quality games with withered technology. They recognised that NES and SNES games were engaging and amazing fun and that technologys role in fun gameplay was a factor but not the only factorFast-forward to 2026 and their evergreen games are being exploited to bring in another revenue wave via tech upgrades while XBOX and SONY struggle because technology has hit a plateau outside of super autistic transexuals with ways to measure framerates and lighting differencestl;dr Nintendo has WISDOM and STRATEGY rooted in their clear VALUES of family funXBOX and SONY are run by hideous spiritual JEWS
>>747350672projectiontendies accuse everyone of being a snoy and eric
>>747347748this answer just raises further questions. wtf is snoyworld and why is it lumped in with big platforms like steam sony and xbox? on a list that already listed sony to boot
>>747351296>evergreen >grown adult males (not men) playing games for literal toddlers
>>747351374nta but hes talking about Palworld; the game that nintendo is currently suing
>>747351374The schizo who posts that "fanbases that need their own containment board" pic hates Palworld because it's more successful than any Pokemon game ever and it's just the start of the franchise.
>>747346316>thriving in their Golden AgeOP is underage
>>747351460>>747351536oh. the fact op is this assblasted about a small literal who game is a very poor look on him
Actual non-drone Nintendo fan here, this isn't a golden age for them by any stretch of the imagination and you have too much penis in your mouth.
>>747351197>look bro it just HAD to go away bro, we all know agenda 2030 is the future so just give up bro, youll own nothing broCultists everyone
Tendies keep flip flopping between "PC and Nintendo are best friends" and "PC is dead, only Nintendo is good, PCsnoys should die". I guess it's supposed to make us angry, but I'm just confused, much like a man insulting me, but he's ESL and his insults don't make sense.
>>747351598People who console war in fucking 2026 is a poor look on anyone
>>747351441zoomers are buying StarFox and posting about it on tiktoks
>>747351779it's literally one dude falseflagging
>>747346607>>747346672They won.
>>747346672>steam machine price literally laughed at>steam deck pulled
>>747351779Switch + PC was my combo last gen and this gen it's switch 2 + PC.The only game I ever caved to was GoT making me buy a PS4. Never again.
>>747351779>PC = Valve red herring
>>747346316Swap Steam and Nintendo and only then is it accurate.
nintendo didn't get their brains blown out cuz they have no brains to begin with
Out of all recent platform-exclusive announcements, only Metroid: Hungry Bird and Kirb: Breath of the Odyssey got me somewhat exited. But then there's Zelda: Nintendo Hire This Man, which is laughable, so Switch 2 still isn't a worthwhile purchase. I really hope Metroid: R is at least as good as Dread.>>747351536Come on, man. Pokeniggers eat literally anything pokeshit-related. No way Plapworld could beat even the worst selling mainline pokeshit.
>>747352149My post didn't mention valve, though.
>>747352238OP didn't mention PC
>>747352216No Pokemon game has sold 40m ever. Palworld has.
>>747346316>Nintendo is the only company that's actively thriving in their Golden AgeThe golden age was the NES and SNES, we're in like the bronze age at best
>>747352379>players
>>747352379what about pokemon go
>>747352359His arguments against Valve encompass all of PC, though. Like one of his big arguments is "you don't own your digital games, they're just rentals." And this applies even if only buy from GOG. Having total ownership over your installer without needing a third party launcher means nothing to him, unless you have some plastic you can put on a shelf.
>>747352490See >>747352149
>>747352472Pokemon Go is F2P. If you bought your copy, you've been had.
>>747352569yeah, they bought it for free
>>747352516So he wouldn't use those arguments for piratechads or GOGchads? And he won't throw a shitfit if someone implies that the SOH port of Zelda is superior to the outsourced OOT jeet remake?
>>747351779Agree, tendie are super embarassing. Everyone know PC like us side with Sony Chad.Really, I am notice Nintendo fan are acting very cultish lately. Anyone else noticing?
>>747346554>>747348348you failed to make “cubie” a thing, Sandalfag, what makes you think OoTsnoy or cubesnoy is anymore likely to stick?
>>747346316Steam should also be looking at the rest. They haven't done anything special one way or the other, which quite frankly is a miracle these days and it's already a pretty good service to begin with. Anyway, nintendo and a PC remains optimal.
>>747352216metroid being Press X to Glory Kill and combat being filled with corny-ass soft-cutscenes turned me off right away
>>747352669I have no fucking clue who you're talking about
>Don't spend literal hundreds of millions of dollars in every single game you develop >Don't treat your developers like cheap whores that you can easily replace>Don't chase the live service slop train>Make a relatively affordable console>Consistently put out games of high quality with different scopes so you don't get droughts that last months>Don't overpay the fuck out of your CEO and reward your employees instead when things are good *cough*Activision*cough*It's that shrimple.
>>747352705nigger castrate yourself
>>747352803Snoy
>>747352705>siding with sonyno.>>747352765Just to fill you in, OP is the same guy who calls people PC vegans and says that "digital doesn't confer ownership". Note that he doesn't differentiate between steam or GOG or other storefronts.
>>747352852>OP is the same guy who calls people PC vegans and says that "digital doesn't confer ownership".No because that's me, and I'm not OP.
>>747346562He said Nintendo fans, not fans of just Mario and Smash.
>Pocket Pairobsessed
>>747352727Delusional cultist, valve allow literal malware on their store and they have the steam leaks recently. Malware makes you the worst store
>>747352705>I am noticeDO NOT REDEEM
>>747353016idk what the fuck you're schizoing about, I've never paid over $15 for a game on steam and haven't gotten malware ever because I'm not a retard so they're great for me.>achievement leakscould not possibly care less lmao
>I can't believe people criticize Valve when I worship them and ignore all their flaws
>>747353190>it doesn't affect me personally so it doesn't matter!!!lmao what a piss poor argument, guys malware is ok as long it doesn't personally affect me!
>>747353493This but unironically. Show me one game of note that had malware.
>>747346316what golden age? pretendo is on the brink of bankrupcy.
Has a valve cultist ever criticized Valve, even Nintendo fans are critical of Nintendo at times
>>747353680i like gacha, so i see no reason to oppose valve or EA on this one
>>747353680>shit only slavs care aboutI use Steam because it's fast, slim, and has every game. Show me a store that can compete on those terms.
>>747353596malware on your store is ok as long its not a game of note. And I get to determine what a game of note is so any answer I didn't hear about will be dismissed!
>>747353596>show me that game so I can dismiss that criticism using anecdotal evidence againNo thanks.
>>747353680
>>747354045everything on this slide is correct or at least an interesting idea. artifact's problem was just that the game wasn't fun to play
I don’t buy Nintendo games or consoles because I’m not a child
>>747346316>golden ageThey suck, but childless disney adults are spending all of their money on nintendo, theme park merchandise, and the occasional Dubai chocolate labubu.Occasionally playing indie games on your laptop is the only gaming experience worth having anymore.
>>747354137I disagree. I think a gaming corporation focused entirely on nickel and dime wealth extraction from their consumer base through services is a bad thing.
>>747354273i literally don't care one iota as long as the resulting game is fun, and i think it's unhealthy the way everybody is constantly searching for ways to feel victimized by the people selling them toys
>>747354207Good to know.
>>747346316Their console has games
>>747354329Thus we call you cultists.
>>747346316They always win. And steam is not a video game company but a jew pseud-monopoly store
>>747354447>only caring about the quality of the product you purchase makes you a cultistyou got it bruh, a cultist i am
>>747354502Correct, I still think you're a cultist.
>>747354628i literally just agreed with you so
>>747353680show me one time Nintendo fans ever criticized Nintendo, without other fans going ballistic.
>>747354647Thay was actually a sarcastic reply you made so that implies you didn't agree. Why do I need to teach you english to be able to communicate with you? Or are you just pretending to not understand anything, thus making discussion impossible?
>>747354850oh i was being sarcastic? really?
>>747354701Best I can show you is a valve fan going balistic >>747353190 >>747351779
>>747354502>only caring about the quality of the productYou must not like valve then cause they haven't made a quality product in over a decade
>>747354894Yup. So now that you just conceded that point and you weren't actually agreeing with me you derailed right here. >>747354628Your move.
>>747355076steam is a quality product
>>747355087no, that was a sincere question, i wasn't being sarcastic in questioning your assertion of my being sarcastic
>>747354628Hey random anon here. Idk if you owned him or not but if your goal is to make tendlers looks silly you're doing great.
why did somebody AI generate a fucking copy-paste fallenchungus meme
>>747346316they make video games
>>747354452consoles are monopolies by definition
>>747355153You're out of moves it seems. Let's end this chain. >>747355193>Hey random anon hereUh huh.
>>747355423i think you're being sarcastic
>>747355440I think you easily get frustrated and flustered when I speak to you so you do very uncharacteristic things, even for yourself.
>>747355557huh?
>>747346316They just make video games.The others don't make video games.
why do all nintendo threads look like they're full of people that sound like they genuinely belong in an asylumare mods such fucking niggers they let these psychos ruin this board undisturbed?
>>747355716>"but i don't want to go among mad people", said anon
>>747355716You can stop doing this every time I get on your nerves. Nobody is coming to save you. There are no onlookers. It's just two or three people talking.
>>747355716jannies protect and promote schizos because they're power users that make the site seem less dead, despite the handful schizos driving away all posters in the long run
>>747355896jannies literally hit you along with them just for replying to the real schizos, they are definitely not being protected
>>747354137I thought Artifact was ok. It could have been a great game if they had a real open beta and listened to player feedback. The problem was that it felt like a beta, but the asking price was ridiculous. It was something like a base $20 charge just for the privilege of getting to spend more money to open random card packs. And a basic deck would cost like $100 just to randomly get all the pieces. You can do a loot box game, or you can do a paid game, but those fucks got greedy and tried to double dip. People were calling it the first pay-to-pay game.
>>747356007i would have whaled if it were fun, but it was straight up not fun at any point. i was bored every time i tried to play it
>Every IP they have but Kirby is complete shit>We won! Nintendo cultits truly are special
>>747355716Engagement bait, my man.
>>747356007The 3 lanes were too much and ruined readability, plus all cards had very dull abilities. It stayed dead even after they made everything free.
>>747355105Thats a service not a product, also they allow tons of shit and malware
>>747356245are you saying that you have purchased malware from steam? seriously, you actually got tricked by an indian scammer? lmao
>>747346607>>747346672they lost
>>747356245it's impossible to guarantee no malware on PCthe platform simply doesn't castrate you like consoles so that's an unfortunate drawbackit's on you if you're stupid enough to fall for it
>>747353898>>747353941>so mad she's samefagging
>>747355423>I doubt youre a random anon Schizo flavored tendy.
