Randy isn’t even an engineer, he just owns a train.




Depends entirely on the particular IP and what’s been negotiated.


then stealing isn’t piracy anyway.

Sometimes stealing is piracy, but pirating digital content is never stealing. It’s copyright infringement.


It’s pedantry really. No one thought they meant the devs just didn’t feel like optimizing it.


In other words, to take a shortcut to avoid expending resources at the cost of quality.





Which is not what the person I replied to was taking about…


That’s fine, all I’m saying is it’s not like it’s significantly more expensive or out of line price-wise historically.

More to the point, the article wasn’t talking about launch prices of consoles at all.


I mean, to pretend the Switch 2 is identical to the Switch 1 is pretty ridiculous.


I mean, historically it seems pretty in-line with Nintendo releases, adjusted for inflation:

  • NES: $582
  • SNES: $480
  • N64: $410
  • GCN: $362
  • Wii: $399
  • WiiU: $419
  • Switch 1: $396
  • Switch 2: $449

It’s only ~$50 more than the Switch 1, and they just raised the price of the Switch 1 by $50.



Sorry, I read it backwards – we agree, most Linux distributions do support Secure Boot



And if we take this as an actual attempt at a better handheld experience, then this is just further proof that competition breeds better products for consumers.


I can’t believe you’ve been doing this for over a year already.
