yes lets bloatware our games with even more DRM and instabilty so they get few extra copies sold, fc5 had like 3 layers of drm aids and still it got cracked, if its made by man, it can be cracked by man, instead of trying block it just accept some people are not going buy it, and work on better ways to entice people to buy and not pirate instead of punishing legit players with this garbage within there games

kevnb2611d ago (Edited 2611d ago )

I don't think the drm earned them a whole lot of extra sales, pirates all know it will get cracked eventually.

cleft52611d ago

Exactly right. Besides, several of the best selling games only have one thin layer of drm and was cracked before the game even released. I am talking about Skyrim and Fallout 4. Oh and the Witcher 3 is one of the top selling games and it has no drm if you buy it on GoG.

Instead of wasting time, money, and resources on drm that just makes the game run worse, invest in making the game more appealing to consumers. Its like Publishers look at games like Skyrim, Fallout 4, and The Witcher 3 and just gloss over the fact that if DRM meant a damn then these games would not be selling so well. DRM literally made Assassin's Creed Origins worse and that game was amazing.

These Publishers are so concerned/afraid of their game being pirated that they forget that if they make a great game then people will buy it. Far Cry 5 in particular should have double down on Arcade mode and mods. But no, instead they slap on draconian DRM, that of course gets pirated, which makes the game run worse on PC.

These Publishers just don't get it, you can put Denuvo 1 million on your game, eventually it will be pirated. Oh and guess what, that DRM doesnt make anyone new go out and buy your game. People who had no intention of buying Far Cry 5 still didnt buy Far Cry 5. Instead of trying to strong arm people into buying the game, just make an amazing game with the freedom to grow. Do that and it will sale. Yes, it will be pirated but it was going to be pirated in the first place. Nothing you as Publishers can do will ever stop your game from being pirated. Simply because their are people who have ZERO intention of ever buying your game in the first place. Those same people may pirated the game and like it enough to actually buy the game on sale or for full price. Oh and people do have consoles, its not exact the hardest thing to rent a game, borrow a game, or buy and return a game. Their are no shortage of ways for people to get their hands on any game they want without ever paying a penny for it.

supersonicjerry2611d ago

But the game is good. no matter what they do to entice people there will always be ones that will pirate

Servbot412611d ago

A proper online co-op mode goes a long way in preventing piracy, and most games stand to only benefit from it. Far Cry 5 almost did it right, but the stupid player tethering and no progress saved for player two really sucks.

Prince_TFK2611d ago

Even if it takes very long to crack, pirate can still buy denovu game very cheap elsewhere on a pirate site (believe it or not, FC5 costs around $5 there).

Drm (and Denovu for that matter) isn’t an effective way to stop pirate anymore.

TheDreamCorridor2611d ago

We need one of those super hardcore advanced AI systems to create anti-piracy.

Then no one will be able to crack games.

Just buy the game you cheap bastards

TheDreamCorridor2611d ago

All games should just be console-exclusive.

PC gaming is trash anyway.

nowitzki20042610d ago

I bet you dont know a thing about it

Doughhead2611d ago (Edited 2611d ago )

Piracy is the thorn in the side of the developer. I hate it. To those that spend all this time cracking DRM, you suck. I have a great idea for these cracked copies of the games, they can tell who cracked the game or who has a pirated copy, just make it so their entire game is littered with the words "Cheater, Kill me" or "Pirated game, Kill me" over their characters. They wont have a moments peace when playing online.

I know it wont work for all games, but it would be hysterical to see it with the games they have to be online for.

I feel this is just a stop gap until their own dedicated portable, or the release of their next console/PC.

"I feel this is just a stop gap until their own dedicated portable, or the release of their next console/PC."

Indeed.

Xbox, PC and Playstation in the palm of your hand!

I can´t wait!

ravens5212h ago

... You don't have to wait...They have devices capable of this already...

azedean14h ago

Too thic for me, I'll wait until we have that power on a more handheld console not a transportable one.

DivineHand12513h ago(Edited 13h ago)

With it's light weight version of windows, ergonomic controls, gaming performance, and open system with multiple store launchers, it may be the best handheld on the market. This device is more pro consumer instead of a handheld that just plays Xbox games.

If my cash wasn't so tight this year I would be looking to pick up one at or around launch and I have no issues recommending it to any gamer as long as it is within their price range.

PapaBop13h ago

Pro consumer? Have you seen the rumoured price for it? At that price and using an LCD panel, pro consumer is not the words I'd use to describe it.

DivineHand12512h ago

So for you if it had an OLED screen but stay in a closed walled off software ecosystem, that would be pro consumer?

This is for the people who want an ergonomic handheld with as much power they could possibly get without compromising the battery life. It also gives you the ability to connect to your own display or an external GPU for those with the budget. What I love about it the most is that you have multiple competing store fronts so you can shop around for the best prices for your games.

BeHunted11h ago

Agree to disagree. This would open up a new era of Windows Handheld gaming devices: a cut down version of Windows with no bloatware, with hundreds of gaming clients.

crazyCoconuts5h ago

"cut down version of Windows without bloatware"
No such thing exists. Temper your expectations... Windows launching straight into the Xbox app.

mkis00712h ago

It doesn't play all xbox games though. It plays pc games, meaning if you don't have play anywhere titles, you have to buy them again.

DivineHand12512h ago

Right now that is a small inconvenience as the play anywhere program is not perfect.

You have to consider that it is offering something that no one else is doing for a large number of titles. That small nitpick should not count against this device and we as gamers should support moves like this.

crazyCoconuts5h ago

Would you still consider this pro consumer if you learned this is just MS' way of telling you there won't be any more consoles, just PCs?

Nintendo Switch 2 sales shatters records, most-sold console in 24-hour period

The Nintendo Switch 2 has set a new record by selling over 3 million units within 24 hours, tripling the PlayStation 4’s previous launch day sales.

Crazy. Switch 2 is going to do very well.

darthv721d 16h ago (Edited 1d 16h ago )

No doubt, but.... the current price is out of the realm of the average parent / kid to buy like the SW1 was. So this launch achievement is from those of us with more disposable income.

The number of SW2 specific titles pales in comparison to the variety of SW1 games that get a performance boost right out of the box on this. And like the SX and PS5 before it, you can bet the majority are going to be using it as a means to better enjoy their existing titles that can benefit.

This may have been quick out of the gate... so was the WiiU. I quite enjoy it for what it is, but am keeping my expectations in check.

GenoPurpel1d 15h ago (Edited 1d 15h ago )

The Switch 2’s price point is great and fine and it’s still cheaper than the current gen of consoles aside from the Series S.

The only place I think they will fall short is their software sales, which also in turn may affect the hardware sales but not significantly. Parents will be fine paying for the system for their kids, but one look at an $80-$90 price tag for a single video game, that is where a lot of people will draw the line. Maybe not so much the people who are in the “willing to pay because I buy deluxe editions anyway” crowd, but for parents specifically, more sacrifices are gonna need to be made in their choices of gifts for their kids.

OtterX1d 14h ago

As a parent of 3 with a very modest income, it was very affordable bc I already had an immense library of games, and the Mario Kart bundle came out to only about €50 more than a standard bundle. Both Zeldas were upgraded w Family Expansion Pass that I already had. Many games were upgraded for free. The only additional game I bought was Fast Fusion for 14.99 which was a great purchase!

Killer2020UK1d 14h ago

People seem to forget that the Switch was $299 at launch which in today's money is roughly $400. That makes the Switch 2 a $50 increase when inflation is taken into account compared to the original.

Yes, people have less spending power on average compared to 2017 (Switch launch year) but this is not the MASSIVE price hike that people are making out Nintendo to be doing.

raWfodog1d 10h ago

“No doubt, but.... the current price is out of the realm of the average parent / kid to buy like the SW1 was. So this launch achievement is from those of us with more disposable income.”

It could also be many people rushing to buy to avoid any possible tariff hikes in the future, but I think it’s still a good sign that many people still want physical consoles. Congrats to Nintendo! I’m not getting one at this time though (unless I get it for a Xmas present for one of my kids).

Congratulations Nintendo on finding the happy medium between their weak console and their invincible handheld plus learning from Sony and clearly defining the new console from the old unlike their Wii and Wii U just add a higher number simple yet effective 👍👍

victorMaje2d ago

Are people that keen on $90 games?
Is it true some remasters will also be $90?

DankSinatra1d 18h ago

Tell me you don't research without telling me you don't research.

victorMaje1d 10h ago

Nope. I didn’t research, I don’t own any Nintendo consoles and I had read on here something about $90 games on switch 2, so I guess it’s good now, people can calm down. Have a nice day :)

1nsomniac1d 16h ago

I bought the Switch 2 I won’t be buying games at MK prices. I don’t ever pay over £45 for my games. Even my Nintendo switch exclusives I never paid more than £33 for.

franwex1d 12h ago

I think the typo you put was meant to be $80.
Anyway, the answer to those questions seem to be yes.

victorMaje1d 10h ago

Looks like I’ve been enlightened about the amount. Happy to see it’s not $90.

Sgt_Slaughter5h ago

Don't get your news from clickbait TikTokers/YouTubers, only go to the source (Nintendo) or reliable new outlets like IGN.

No game is $90 on the Switch 2, and they will never go there. Most games will be under $80, too.

cool
wasnt expecting it not to sell well

Profchaos1d 21h ago

Its crazy that it's both the highest selling console on day 1 and people can walk into a store and buy it with no pre order

Ashunderfire861d 19h ago

Yup while I was waiting in line from Best Buy for Switch 2, like I did for Switch 1 back in 2017, every waiting 12am was going to get a Switch 2! I was in the no preorder line too!

My friend manage to get 4 Switch 2s at his GameStop store, that was lowkey not busy at all. Got them all for himself and his family. Super easy to get a Switch 2 over PS5.

Profchaos1d 18h ago

The struggle to get a ps5 was real had mates wait over 2 years for stock i got lucky and got it day 1 but still

Ashunderfire861d 12h ago

I know and I also struggled getting a preorder for the PS5, when Walmart, Best Buy among other retailers open their preorders a day early before most of us realize it. I got my PS5 launch day thanks to YouTube Live Streamer Jake Randell. He helps people get preorders and launch consoles.

Neonridr19h ago

the PS5 also released during a global pandemic.

Ashunderfire8615h ago

It’s funny how I got disagrees for speaking the truth for what I experienced getting the Switch 2. Nintendo had more copies of Switch 2 than Sony for the PS5.

Don’t be butthurt about this very fact. People on here disagreeing with crazy reasons lol

Doesn't that mean Nintendo made sure they had plenty of stock available at retail.

Profchaos1d 18h ago

Yeah it's nice to see they prepped for it

adamwparker1d 16h ago

Yeah, I remember reading an article over two years ago with Nintendo stating that they were going to do all that they could to make sure their next console didn't have the PS5/XBox reseller swiping /no stock fiasco happen to them.

Looks like they made sure production met demand. Refreshing to see that the reseller thing didn't trend and I hope a lot of people who bought multiple units for the sole reason to resell then at $1000 are now stuck with them.

jznrpg1d 10h ago

It also means there isn’t a chip shortage when PS5/Xbox came out during pandemic

gold_drake1d 18h ago

to be where fair, we had a current gen come out during covid ha

repsahj1d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

I remembered I tried 7 pre-order events during the PS5 launch. I gave up and ended up buying 1 from a scalper. But now, I already secured 1 pre-order Switch 2 unit in my country very easy and without problems.

Neonridr19h ago

kudos to Nintendo for ensuring a healthy amount of stock.
