@@ChaseMC215 And yet, everything about this lawsuit goes entirely against how Nintendo handles their legal matters. If you do research and use your brain, it becomes extremely obvious that The Pokemon Company got Nintendo to file the lawsuit on their behalf.
Let's see here: - Glass Joe: Ubisoft - Von Kaiser: WB Games - Disco Kid: Square Enix - King Hippo: Microsoft - Piston Hondo: Nintendo - Bear Hugger: Valve - Great Tiger: Konami - Don Flamenco: Bandai Namco - Aran Ryan: EA - Bald Bull: Sega - Soda Popinski: Activision Blizzard - Super Macho Man: MiHoYo - Mr. Sandman: Sony - Donkey Kong: Epic Games
I dont know much about the game industry, so thanks for educating me! And the Von Kaiser one is so hilarious. Also I think that Valve and Steam could be portrayed by Bear Hugger, where the food represents the billions of dollars they get by doing almost nothing, the trees chopping down represents the competion making horrible decisions and losing money and the bear could represent the community protesting against Valve's laziness and encouraging them to do something.
It's really that easy to get money. Make some good games, invest into underage gambling, pretend to make something new, add a few more skins, give TF2 fans another false hope, make unnecessary changes to a beloved game, forget to let the fans of said beloved game to opt out of it, go to the Winchester, have a nice, cold pint and wait for yet another videogame crisis to blow over.
Yeah, it's gotten to 150 million units, surpasing the DS and on it's way to the PS2 The PS2 was presumably sold a lot cause DVD player, but switch is just a game console, so pretty good there

Minor (Circuit) corrections on the Nintendo sections: 1:06 Nintendo published and released far more than 3 games this year (I think around 10). The ones shown are simply the highest-acclaimed this year. 1:30 Nintendo doesn't "create games" for NSO. This is either about them further drip-feeding retro games or the free games they offer for a limited time (unlike with the Epic Games Store, you don't get to keep the games, though).

Gacha games being represented by Super Macho Man is painfully accurate. As good as Bogus Man is, he gets more negative attention because Asian free lootboxes games are bad, but apparently fully priced copy and paste EA lootboxes are fine and totally not predatory.
@JagGentlemann Yeah, sure. It's not like they were always getting called "predatory" for having a lootbox system, as if it didn't always exist in games before for over a decade by now. It's not like they get shunned for having OPTIONAL micro-transactions while full priced games have a lot of paywalls. It's not like they get shunned for trying to profit with their free games, while no one bats an eye to games like Fortnite who also have optional micro-transactions. Yeah, absolutely a free pass.
The game being free only makes it easier to enter their addiction Wonderland, and even then, just because there's something worse, it doesn't make the other one good. They are still able to do loot boxes without having to even hide it, do yes, free pass. I really don't understand how defensive people get on their anime slot machines, and I have someone close that is like that. But ooooh I play because I want, except that I have deadlines for events, but I do it because I like the lore! Yeah sure, whatever, it's your time, not mine.
@JagGentlemann Look, you can't blame your own problems on something else. The games are free, and spending money is OPTIONAL. If you can't control yourself to do the responsible thing and not spend any money, that's on you. Especially when these games never force you to spend a cent on them. Instead of blaming the slot machine, blame the gambler who throw away their money, who in return blame the machine, instead of admitting they have a problem. Spending money on Gacha games is something you do on your own will. And if you do, you take the responsibility for your actions. Not shift the blame and play the victim.
@@فهدالدوسري-ح6ض There are always huge incentives though. Pop-ups, advertisements, events, you name it. Not expending money on gachas is like going to a party sober. It's the dark side people often refuse to see. And no, being "free" doesn't make it any better. Spending just 5$ in a game you like and respects your time is already a good investment.
