Yeah well, everyone else is copy and pasting their terrible games, so I’ll take Nintendo and Sonys output over Ubisoft, Microsoft, TakeTwo, Bethesda, EA, etc any day.
If no one bought PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo games they would eventually just make those exclusive titles into PC games. They aren’t going to toss those massive profits from IP.
Exclusives don’t exist to make money by themselves, they exist to make the platform more attractive. The real goal is the 30% cut they get from game sales on their platform.
So if people didn’t buy PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo games, Sony and Microsoft probably wouldn’t invest nearly as much into their gaming divisions, and Nintendo would probably turn into what Sega is today.
Well, there is if you want to play exclusives legally.
And support development. Somebody has to pay for these Zelda games if we want more of them.
Pokemon is the highest earning franchise of all time. We do pay for it. Now, where are the Pokemon games? I don’t see them.
And by Pokemon game I don’t mean scarlet/violet/Arceus, those are prototypes that are lower quality than single-dev indie games.
Nintendo has more than enough money for developing games, everything else is greed.
Fuck no Nintendo’s the richest company in Japan and they’ll copy paste BotW again and release it as a full priced sequel when it’s just BotW 1.6

I don’t really get your point… do you think Nintendo would make new games if nobody bought them?
