I guess the Medieval 2 time period sells because Christians can play crusades and Muslims can play jihads

Who doesn't love a good Crusade? Thats one of the reasons why I love Crusader Kings

Crusader Kings is an incest simulator, but I guess that it was fun as a Reformed Nordic to do crusades and war 24/7 against the rest of the world. Seducing all the queens/princesses of your enemies counts as a crusade?

Watched the first fifteen seconds, and my response as someone who has to work with sales and marketing professionals is 'market saturation'. Drop the price 25% and watch the sales rebound for a bit. Promo the shit out of the unit in the run up to Christmas and watch the bounce. But I don't see anything here that would cause me huge concern if I were working for Big N.

Nintendo Nostalgia Nerd discovers Marketing...
Also this dude has done nothing but complain about the switch 2 since it was announced in its direct.

personally i'm having the time of my life with my new Switch 2. just beat the trial of the sword in botw (in master mode no less, yeah i'm a gamer). and there's still so much i have planned: playing the virtual console fire emblem games, the welcome tour, new pokemon in october, throwing it through panzerkampfwagyu's window at 3 a.m., zelda echoes of wisdom, etc.

Nintendo games are like sport ones: they were released last century but they get paid patches every few years and Link still hasn't learnt to talk. Change my mind.

Guys, did you know that Ubishod did not do nothing wrong? We are the problem it turned out.

I'm glad to be a problem for them !

My wallet too !

Gaming is such dog soup. The only games doing well are remasters and sequels because Nostalgia has already peaked.
There are some crumbs Indie developers made that get cloned to hell(I.e Among us, REPO) but they’re not million dollar efforts we used to see. Square enix almost peaked, but they suffered from success and too many hands in the cookie jar. Look at the Admin hell they went through with 13. Too many shaky hands.

Now gaming has shifted to competitive shit and esports and early release, then slowly roll out the content. Everything is done so halfassed because of imposters in the scene. It’s just nuts, am I the only squirrel here?

tldr: only the classic are still worthy of playing /w a few rare exceptions

It sucks that we're never getting a Titanfall 3, but it sucks even more that if it did come out it would probably be bad

I feel you on that. Everything has become so rotten, and the few good apples get picked very fast.

Mobile games and the lack of ambition is also another thing that has plagued development of interesting games.

Too many of these “ambitious” people simply want to clone a game and put their spin on it. (Fortnite, Minecraft, etc.) and so many of these mobile app games are infantilized for the iPad kid generation.

I HATE hustle culture and feel like gaming is just treated as another get rich quick scheme instead of something built with passion.

Let it rot

I love a good Chess play. The game of Kings.

Maybe, just maybe, if they paid Mario Segale his due money, God would bless Nintendo by the cardinal virtue of Justice.
