Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

The market conditions are nobody kicking Nintendo's lawyers in the teeth and telling them to piss off... regardless of jurisdiction.

Follow that up with the consumer base clamoring for a gimpsuit shaped like the switch 2 and you get this result.

"Yes corporate daddy, punish me harder"

Edit: it would appear some people are unfamiliar with Nintendo's rather questionable actions. Or their lawyers are on Lemmy. One of those.

No dude your comment just makes no sense.

I can break it down:

Why is this happening to us (the consumer)?

Asked by the consumer who has broken records buying the switch 2 with the batshit insane clause: "We can brick your console for any reason and are denying your rights to how and where you can sell your purchased games."

That'd be the gimpsuit.

Shall I detail the number of times nintendont has overstepped it's legal rights and trampled on those of developers, consumers, and frequently their own employees?

Nintendo's lawyers know no boundaries. They frequently get apologists making excuses for them while they force their will on whomever they please. What they need is a solid kick in the teeth and to be told to fuck right off.

Why are they jacking prices up? Why are they inserting assinine clauses in user agreements?

Because people just love the abuse apparently. That's certainly what the market appears to be saying: "Yes daddy N. punish me harder."

I believe that summarizes the intent of my original statement sufficiently.

I didn't think it required that much thought... but apparently I was mistaken.

When all you end up posting comes off as nonsensical ramblings, yeah explanation is needed so people can actually understand you. Otherwise it just looks like nonsensical ramblings.

Agree to disagree, I suppose. The OP could use a colon and perhaps a small edit for clarity. That's a far cry from nonsensical ramblings. But I cannot speak for your ability to digest a post made quickly - so if that's how it was received: I imagine the explanation should have been sufficient. Your response suggests otherwise. My point was made, and clarified, which to me is sufficient. If you can't work though it - that's unfortunate but acceptable.

No, the original comment just did not make any sense to begin with.
