Arin was right.
“Nintendo targets free marketing that’s much more effective than their really, really weird ads featuring skinwalkers from an alternate reality attempting to appear like normal humans doing the gaming.”
Nintendo once again treats its fans with contempt and hostility. It’s not a good look.
If anyone was curious, Echoes of Wisdom is totally playable on the Steam Deck
Say it with me once again:
Fuck Nintendo.
They’re the Disney of the video game industry.
Yeah, I have zero desire to give them money. Luckily, there are solid options that aren’t them, notably the steam deck for portable gaming and pc/xbox/ps5 for home gaming.
Console Gaming is a lot less worse than Nintendo, but if you (or someone else) wants to be ‘pure’, they are also not recommended. Consoles are locked-down PCs controlled by the companies, not you, and they abuse their captive consumers by charging multiplayer online, having less promotions (and getting worse with time at that, by eliminating the physical disks), demanding subscriptions with ever more grades and higher prices, tying games to a digital account they can revoke, and not letting the users use the hardware as they see fit in general. PC gaming avoids most or all these issues, with steam excelling in everything (sans the digital license tied to the account, but even that is mitigated because their DRM is weak, and games frequently are found on the high seas if needed), and GoG (and itch.io, etc) respecting completely its customers (offline instalers, completely at your control).
F is for friends who say Fuck Nintendo
