Well, that didn't last long did it. After a first release, GitLab have already pulled down the Nintendo Switch emulator suyu project, due to a DMCA hit as a result of it being forked from yuzu which Nintendo shut down.
I’ll probably buy their next console, but I’m not going to be buying nearly as many games as I otherwise would. Basically, if a game is available literally anywhere else, I’ll buy it there instead.
Also, if my console dies, I’m not buying another and will instead emulate the games I’ve already purchased. That’s just how I do things, I buy for the console while it’s relevant, then emulate for nostalgia.
I haven’t bought anything from Nintendo since the DS. I never believed their consoles to have the quality, performance or uniqueness to justify their prices. Exclusives is just a money-grabbing FOMO practice that I have never deemed justifiable either.
However, I never actively chose to stand off on purchasing their products until I heard about how they treated the Smash community and literally shut down their tournaments as well as how their fantastically buggy releases of certain Switch Pokemon games.
They have proven time and time again to not only not care about their consumers or community but to actively seek them out and piss in their mouth whenever they can.
Yeah, I absolutely disagree with their community interaction, but they’re fantastic for what I want them for: fun, family friendly games. I have young kids, and their games are a lot of fun to play together.
If it weren’t for my kids, I probably wouldn’t buy one since I’m more than satisfied with Steam. But games like Mario Kart and Mario Party are just a ton of fun to play together. I honestly haven’t found another studio as dedicated to making great games for the whole family to play together.
So that’s why I buy Nintendo games and consoles. However, because I don’t like their community interaction, I limit myself to only those games, whereas I’d probably but a ton more games from them if they weren’t so hostile.
I understand your situation. If you do want to dodge Nintendo however you might be able to get a similar experience by emulating a Switch on a Steam Deck.
