I hope everyone isn't too scared to make an emulator for it because yuzu and ryujinx got shut down. If emu devs could learn to use a VPN and not dox themselves then nintendo wouldn't have any names or addresses to send legal threats to.

a 300 dollar game console is nothing compared to a 600 dollar ps3 at launch. i think the whining about the price of the console is astroturfed, either by competitors or people who want to stir up economic fears.

expensive consoles are nothing new, however, paying 70 dollars for a game which is not even on the cart/disc ie paying for a product key is insane.

>because yuzu and ryujinx got shut down.
ryujinx got shut down???
>yuzu
I thought yuzu got fucked because teh retards started doing some sort of monetization out of it or something else that was stupid, not just by being an emulator of teh switch. As far as i know it can't be shat down if it's 100% free and does not distribute roms, keys, etc.

I think teh main complains are about teh games and not teh console
But i can see teh console price complains being cuz already expensive console + overpriced gaems

I'm just glad Nintendo is doing all it can to justify piracy even more than it already is

pretty much no one bought the PS3 at $600 and Sony spent the entirety of that generation playing catch up internationally lol
they made it in the end, after a lot of cost cutting

also, honestly, most people I've seen don't give as much of a shit about $400 for the machine (people would easily pay your stated $300) as they do about $80 per game - yes, some NES, Genesis, and N64 games were about that much, unadjusted for inflation even, but in every one of those cases, a third of the price was the physical cartridge ROMs or expansion hardware
eg, shit like FF6 and Phantasy Star 4 being $85-90 on launch because those were big 4MB ROMs with save RAM in 1994 (contrast pretty much every PS1 game because it cost like $1 to manufacture a CD), vs switch 2 games on a glorified SD card (or worse, straight downloads)

but also no one wants to support that shit and I sure as balls don't
prices are set by what the market can bear, and if the market is a fucking bitch, they will just roll over and pay despite that
and if the market isn't a fucking bitch, it won't accept it lol

IIRC, Nintendo had an actual case with Yuzu that ended up being settled in court with a major payment and I suspect things might have gone badly had yuzu tried to fight
while Ryujinx folded immediately once asked and it never hit the courts or anything

I'm pretty sure Nintendo can't do shit to emulator devs who aren't accepting money and aren't attentionwhoring, but it seems these days that anyone who's doing anything has to also be doing one of those two things. ┐(ﾟ～ﾟ)┌

it's not 300 dollars, though, it's 450. and of course we have those 70-80 dollar digital games, 80-90 dollar physical games, and we have online subscriptions, and we have paid upgrades for older games, and we've got expensive controllers, and my money is on DLC becoming more common and more expensive for their future games, too. (´～`;)
other consoles may be worse, but I don't play on those dogshit systems. I'm just disappointed that Nintendo followed those other companies into the shitter (starting with the switch 1's online subscription and only getting worse).
my switch 1 has been collecting dust, and none of the switch 2 games look like must-plays, so I think I'll stick to PC this gen. ヽ(´ー｀)ノ

>pretty much no one bought the PS3 at $600

yeah.. haha.. who would buy one at launch that would be crazy... t-those dummies...

I bought a PS3 at launch

i bought my first ps3 one year ago

Steam deck is more customizable and supports piracy

>>140757
care to say why?

Demon's Souls and Valkyria Chronicles was fun... ( ´ω`)

>>140799
nta but teh PS3 is extremely cheap plus easy to jailbreak. It has some exclusive gaems and its genuinely better than teh jet engine ps4 and useless ps5

>>140799
to play ps3 games

i bought a ps3 at launch for this, and only this...

the ps3 has the ORIGINAL neptunia kusoge and that's all that matters
