So, because of Nintendo's actions, that gives third parties the right to give their audience the shortest end of the stick?
You mean the audience that wouldn't buy third party games on Nintendo systems in the first place, as you and many others have argued? Yet if they do, they're then bitched at for not going all the way?
It gives them the right to give Nintendo the shortest end, absolutely. If Nintendo's going to put in a half-assed attempt to cater to what third parties wish for, then why should third parties be expected to wholeheartedly support that in turn? The state of their games for Nintendo is perfectly reflective of the effort that Nintendo has put in to accommodate them. Nintendo loves to act like they're an island unto themselves, like they exist in a vacuum, like they "don't care", without seeming to realize that there are other companies who are making multi-million investments that require certain standards to be present. Nintendo does it own thing, great......and this is the price for that. They can't have their cake and eat it too.
So they are the ones giving its consumers the short end of the stick by not enabling third parties the ecosystem they desire. Why should third parties be expected to step into an environment that is not conducive to profitability? Just to be nice and not shaft the consumer?
