I wouldn't dream of sending a tip to Nintendo or any other large company, but I did send a tip to SureAI (game devs, nothing to do with the bullshit we're currently calling 'AI') after playing Enderal. One of the best games I've ever played, zero ads or microtransaction BS, completely free. It was literally just a passion project by an indie dev crew. $60, cuz it's as good as any AAA game I've played. They earned the fuck out of every cent.

Thanks for making me aware of Enderal. It looks absolutely awesome.
I'll try it out and if it's half as good as you say, I'll tip them twice what I paid for Skyrim (which won't be $60 but I've never paid that much for a game).

If Ice Pick Lodge did this they'd have funding for Pathologic 4 in about two minutes.

The 15 is typically an 18.

There's at least one die hard Nintendo fan out there that's gonna custom tip $100+ because being a Nintendo fan is their personality. Nintendo should be selling them special loyalty edition consoles for $10k or something and give the rest of us a break.

[–] superkret@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

The loyalty edition is just a standard console with a sticker on it.

[–] proper@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

is that 25% on top of tariff or msrp?

I really don’t understand the anti Nintendo thing. They want money? So do all game companies. They sue people pirating? So do the others. They are all corporations, none are your friends. The weirdest thing is the steam people who are convinced that THEIR corporation and THEIR billionaire Gabe is the only good billionaire on earth. He’s not.

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 2 points 1 day ago

I will keep giving money to companies that select good policies and praxis. It is alarming that it only happens when companies are young and that they turn into multi national demonic entities when they grow past a certain level for some reason, but at that point we can only sigh and but a rubber band around the growth and start cutting off the oxygen supply so we can saw it off

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yeah. Valve's 30% cut is greed. So is their (alleged) anticompetitive behavior of forcing price parity with other stores (aka devs can't price things cheaper than Steam elsewhere).

I mean, I like their store. I like most of their behavior, but I am also waiting for the hammer to drop, and everyone should.

[–] Lightor@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The force streamers and people who cover Nintendo to pay them, because word of mouth isn't enough. They need money.

They have and continue to directly or aid in the effort to patten basic game mechanics.

They refuse to participate in cross play functionality often.

They kill fan projects because fuck you for liking our games and bringing more attention to them I guess.

They lock games away forever, not rereleasing and killing mods aggressively. Actively killing gaming history.

A company doesn't have to be my friend. But when they are actively attacking people who express love for their product you eventually stop loving the product.

As long as there's no micro transactions then yeah that makes sense pay a premium for premium games cuz Nintendo makes really good games. My problem is that they almost never have sales when they do they're like 10% off if that and the price never goes down for their older games or they don't even sell their order games that's the issue
