[QUOTE="Jaysonguy"][QUOTE="meetroid8"] You believe you're entitled to free software...?meetroid8
That's absolutely not what I said
Early adopters got promises from Nintendo that the console would have games, TONS of games. Working with third party teams and indie devs and then their own stable.
Nintendo failed with the Wii U though and had no games. Their incompetence made big publishers make console specific games multiplats and made other big publishers leave the console altogether. They chased away indie devs with ridiculous stipulations or lack of support, and they failed to bring their own software around in a timely fashion.
Their online infastructure is still broken, they went the longest time ever with no games for the console, and most of their games they're saying wont be here until 2014 or later.
There was no benefit at all of being an early adopter because everything that Nintendo said was coming never did.
All right. That's all true. I'm just not sure what any of that has to do with being entitled to having software available on the system. Anyone who bought it could have researched the lineup beforehand. They knew how dry it was, and they knew there was no guarantee that it would get any better. Research had nothing to do with it
Nintendo said third party devs, they left
Nintendo said indie games, they left
Nintendo said just regular *#*(@# games, they never came
Nintendo was the one that said the console would be full with games to play, they were working feverishly to get as many games as possible. Remember during all their press conferences they'd have that entire wall of companies and dev teams that were working on the Wii U? That never turned into anything.
This isn't a case of people buying into a system misinformed, it's a case of Nintendo promising things that they failed to do. Nintnedo actually failed to follow through on every single promise they made.
Nintendo thinks that an "I'm sorry" is good enough and for Nintendo fans it is because honestly I have no idea why they tolerate it. For everyone else WITH standards these are the kinds of things that make people not support a company in the future.
