Everyone had always assumed that Disney was going to buy Pixar.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
Danish from eXputer: "Nintendo has historically gone against player-made content and emulation of its games. This has done much to harm the company's image."
They need to stop announcing these mods and fan remakes until they're finished. Finish it, upload it, and then if Nintendo dmca's it tough shit. Once it's online, people can share it around, even if the original download gets taken down.
This is all coming from the mouth of short-sighted fandom and grifting madness.
No.... it wont. There is a clear defined reason why they don't. This is nothing new. Make your own shi7 from your own original ideas especially if you are trying to capitalize of it it. Duh.
Yeah, hire people that have zero respect or understanding for an established process. Wow. Yep. Totally makes sense.
I don't think it would be smart. Nintendo it's not only about its long cast of characters, which would be the main reason of the purchase but it's also about hardware and software. Disney would need to participate in the tech panorama more than never, Nintendo would still need to produce consoles as always because otherwise the purchase from Disney would be a huge waste of money and resources.
The company would also need to compete with Microsoft, Sony, Google and Apple in the race to appeal the casual market.
I don't think anyone wants Disney to buy Nintendo
I definitely don't, let Nintendo be Nintendo
Oh, Polygon...
I thought satire had to be marked?
put this into perspective everyone Disney bought Marvel and lucas films for 4 billion dollars each, and Pixar for 7 billion dollars. so clearly Polygon is using their ass to talk again cause that would mean is Disney buy's Nintendo they would end up spending more buying them then they did Pixar, Marvel, and basically FREAKING STAR WARS!!!! combined. I doubt Disney will want to spend that much money. kind off topic though i guess seeing how much Disney bought those guy's for and how much Nintendo is worth does show just how big the video game industry since one company alone is worth more then two of the biggest pop culture icons in the world Star Wars and Marvel combined.
Since when does Nintendo need saving?
