I stopped pirating games and music when I got a job. The other main issue was ease of access/purchase. Now that I can digitally download anything I want, it's easier than pirating.

This is why I stopped pirating games too. I kept stealing music until the streaming services hit, since "pay a monthly tax and you get basically everything" is hard to argue against.

And if there was a reasonable way to watch them that was even twice as hard as pirating them I would absolutely use it for any reasonable cost.

Someday they'll figure out that 999 services is them all getting the entirety of a tiny pie when they could make more getting a little slice of one big pie. If there was one or even two Netflix/hulu/amazon/HBO/CBS/Disney streaming services that encompassed everything, they would have insane subscription rates. Instead every little content producer wants you to pay for their poo poo separately. loving YouTube Red.

I pay for Netflix and will probably get the disney one, but gently caress. The music industry has largely figured this out. TV will hopefully follow kicking and screaming.

Some outfit needs to come around and just bundle all these content provider subscriptions together into one thing and present all that programming as one big pot. They could even include the set top box in the subscription and just have all that programming, with frictionless jumping between outlets, presented in some kind of overall guide and oh gently caress I just invented cable

The Kins posted:

The Steam Controller setup system actually has a checkbox to use either the Nintendo or Xbox layouts for face button placement on the pro controller, so you can have the Y button either be Y or X depending on what your muscle memory thinks the left face button is.

Is that something that translates to actual gameplay, or just the Big Picture interfact?

Do you look at the controller while you play?

If a game tells me to Press X to Pay Respects, I'm going to want to press whatever X is on the controller I'm holding. Sorry I'm weird, I guess.

PC games could do more to be gamepad agnostic, hopefully they get with the Pro Controller program in the future.

Wouldn't you be able to extrapolate the numbers from the Wii U sales to get sort of a prediction of how well a Switch version would sell though? Since I'm pretty sure the Wii U version did pretty bad even in comparison to how many systems were sold

No, not really? CoD's in a different place, a hypothetical CoDBlOps4 is a different kind of product than an after-the-fact BlOps port, the Switch audience is probably a fair bit different than the WiiU audience. The WiiU sales don't really tell you much that is useful here.

A former Nintendo employee says he was fired from the company after appearing on a podcast where he spoke openly, and perhaps indelicately, about the company's products and localization efforts.

Chris Pranger, who worked in Nintendo's Treehouse localization group, appeared on the Part-Time Gamers podcast earlier this month where his frank comments garnered attention on sites like NintendoLife and the NeoGAF forum.


I remember listening to that podcast and thinking it was really candid and interesting, but also that there was no way he wasn't getting sacked afterwards.

Yea, that dude gets fired from basically any company for that.

Provided no price difference you should just go with whatever you like better, and the way you phrased that sounds like you already have an opinion.

I'm on the boring greys because I preordered my Switch the night preorders went up and I was assuming they were gonna sell out in minutes and didn't notice they had the neons up, but I quickly came to realize I don't really look at my joycons while I'm actually using the console so I've never had the urge to replace them.

I mean I'm leaning toward boring grey but I'm interested in people's thoughts on red/blue. I realize it's an insanely low-stakes question.
