With the implementation of Patch v0.5.5 this week, we must make yet another compromise. From this patch onward, gliding will be performed using a glider rather than with Pals. Pals in the player’s team will still provide passive buffs to gliding, but players will now need to have a glider in their inventory in order to glide.

How lame. Japan needs to fix its patent laws, it's ridiculous Nintendo owns the simple concept of using an animal to fly.

and none of it matters, cause they have literal legions of fans that will ride their ride, no matter how much it costs, no matter how poorly made it is, no matter how much nintendo spits in their face.

So Nintendo sees no significant economic repercussions from their behavior, and thus has incentive to change.

I was one of those but they were losing me more and more every year... But 3 years ago it became way too much, and I got off the bandwagon. Screw that lol.

I hope they don't make as many sales as they expect... But you may be right, too many people who will buy their crap however expensive and how much they're being mistreated by the company.

and for every one like you.

Theres people who buy multiple of the console.

One person in my family bought 4 of the Nintendo Switch. One for him, his wife, and one each for each of their two grand kids.

and they also buy multiple copies of games, so they don't have to worry about wanting to play a game someone else is already playing.

and I would not be shocked at all if they buy at least two of the Switch 2 the second it becomes commonly available.

Lemmy constantly falls into the same social trap as reddit: that we think we're some monolith of consumerism and when we believe something we think everyone else will be on our side.

Go on YouTube and look up the hundreds of videos from the past few months alone of scalpers and other Pokemon buyers getting into actual physical fights, buying literally 10+ of those huge box sets, and camping out at those vending machines and buying literally everything in them the minute they restock.

I'm a vendor at comic and anime conventions here in the US. I did a show last month that was literally 99% Pokemon cards and merch, and everyone was buying that shit up regardless. There were actually maybe five booths including my own that weren't selling just Pokemon stuff, if at all.
