The NES required companies to have nintendo make the cartridges for them and approve of games before doing so. You can say it improved quality over other systems but its still heavy handed and shitty from day one.
I love the games and consoles over the years but fuck nintendo all the same. They are capitalist greedy pigs like every other big game company.

Mmm stonks is more about shareholders demanding faster returns. This isnt a cut and dry supply and demand thing (markets havent been supply and demand since the stock market started), its shareholder feelings and ai investment shit.
Would love for any of it to have a shred of logic in it, but if games were for gamers and not stockholders IaP wouldn’t exist etc

The strong feedback from them is that elements of the game are very likely AI-generated and thus has caused extreme damage to our brand and our company reputation.
These are not the words of a company who didnt know about the ai use. They hired them because they were gonna use ai so it would be cheap to produce, fans were rightfully upset to be fed slop, publisher backpedals so hard they close the studio.
You think if they didnt use ai here they’d do all that? Or would they instead say “we are sorry the quality doesn’t appeal and we will work on it” not this

MS doesnt do “cool”. They have been desperate for years to try to capture it and they never have any idea what cool looks and feels like so their adverts for their shit is always so dorky and uncool.
Also they never support anything long after it comes out because the only vision they have is winning sales
This gonna go with all of the unused nvidia cards in the corner until they can find enough electricity?
