There’s another option people dismiss in these conversations: you can just not play the game.
It is not a right for you to have access too it. This is optional entertainment.
I’m a PC gamer too. I don’t pirate. Can’t play a game I don’t own because I don’t have the platform? I shrug my shoulders and move on to the hundreds of other games I have.
But no, a great exclusive launches and the excuses come out to pirate it.
Literally you don’t have to play it. Your life will be the same.
Voy a decir algo que a muchos no les va a gustar: prefiero piratear Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake antes que comprar una Nintendo Switch 2 exclusivamente para jugarlo.
Y os explico por qué.
Soy jugador de PC. Tengo mi plataforma, mi biblioteca, mis periféricos y mi ecosistema de juego. ¿Por qué tengo que gastarme entre 400 y 500 € en otra máquina para jugar a DOS o TRES exclusivos y dejarla después cogiendo polvo?
¿De verdad os parece razonable?
Yo no tengo ningún problema en pagar 80 € por un videojuego. De hecho, pagaría encantado esos 80 € por Ocarina of Time si Nintendo lo publicase en PC.
Lo que no pienso hacer es pagar 400-500 € por una consola que no necesito, MÁS otros 80 € por el juego. Estamos hablando de una barrera de entrada de casi 600 € para acceder a un único título.
Y aquí está lo que las compañías parecen no entender:
No todo el mundo quiere comprar su ecosistema. Algunos simplemente queremos jugar a sus videojuegos.
Las exclusividades no hacen que automáticamente todos los jugadores de PC corran a comprar una consola. Muchos simplemente renuncian al juego. Otros buscan alternativas.
Y lo de Ocarina of Time es precisamente el ejemplo de hacia dónde está evolucionando todo esto.
En cuestión de horas hemos visto cómo la comunidad conseguía ejecutar el juego en PC mediante emulación. Y con proyectos como Lichii, las recompilaciones nativas y la ayuda de la IA, las barreras técnicas cada vez son menores.
¿De verdad creen que pueden mantener eternamente sus juegos encerrados en una plataforma mientras la tecnología avanza a semejante velocidad?
Yo prefiero pagar por un producto oficial, tenerlo en Steam, jugarlo en mi PC, utilizar mi hardware y no depender de comprar otra máquina para acceder a él.
Pero si me obligas a elegir entre gastar casi 600 € en un ecosistema que no quiero o buscar una alternativa para jugar a un título que me interesa, tengo bastante clara mi decisión.
Las compañías tienen que empezar a entender que queremos comprar sus juegos, no necesariamente sus consolas.
Y ahora quiero plantear una pregunta:
¿Defendéis las exclusividades porque realmente benefician al jugador o porque os habéis acostumbrado a justificar que tengamos que comprar varias máquinas para poder disfrutar de todos los videojuegos?
Porque yo tengo clarísimo que el futuro debería ser poder elegir dónde jugar, no dónde te obligan a jugar.
Ah yes, I'll just sell my switch 2 and buy a more expensive handheld that has a lower resolution and refresh rate just to play the same games I could already play on my switch but with a worse frame rate

So let me get this straight.... everyone complained about how weak the Switch 1 was when it was Nintendo's primary platform.
However, now that we have the Switch 2 (a much more powerful system), and that AI has cracked it, allowing people porting semi-playable versions of Switch 2 games to Switch 1, Nintendo is anti consumer for making exclusives that actually run well on their new platform?
Please... make that make sense.
You were mad the Switch 1 was weak and games were unoptimized for it, but now you are saying we don't need Switch 2 because you can play poorly optimized versions of Switch 2 games on a Switch 1....
Nintendo haters are exhausting with the goal post moving and contradicting themselves. 😅
just saw “hey so it’s a pretty privileged take to say small businesses shouldn’t use AI for marketing when they can’t afford to hire a graphic designer and have no design skills”
please, what did all the small businesses do prior to just TWO years ago, I beg you to remember just TWO years ago

"I just want to play Nintendo games at higher framerates and resolutions" same people are bragging about playing switch 2 games at worse framerates and resolutions because of the real reason...they didn't want to pay for games.
Robin giving the straw hats some love ❤️ pt. 2!! #ONEPIECE〜

“Not paying attention to politics” works when you’re a teenager, but it’s an embarrassingly privileged and immature stance as an adult. Grow up.

I've made my stance very clear repeatedly but I'm going to say it again
Serebii will never utilise AI on any element. Serebii being a hand curated site.
I have had so many problems with AI coded websites & apps just scraping from me, and some I see with such wild hallucinations
"These tools have made it very easy for bad actors to crowd out good information..."
AI fan wikis riddled with errors are muddying the waters of an already contested part of games culture

If your religion or political beliefs brainwashes you, to the point where you can’t enjoy fictional stories because it conflicts with your real world beliefs…
You need to reflect.

MVG did a whole breakdown and basically everything people are showcasing is Smile Basic dependant.
The second smile basic is turned off, all the "hacking." Stops.
So no actual breakthroughs, just AI code for Views & Clout as you've said.

This mentality is why AI is dangerous. Convenience and time saved being the thing that strips away your passion and accepting that IS the modern issue. This is why the speech in Digger is so accurate and important. This is why Wildwood is monumental. Protect human creativity!!
