Well at least someone isn't anti-consumer.

Also, f*** whales.

Funny, because everyone complained about having to buy that game outright.

You can't save people from themselves.

People think they are entitled to free things, they'd rather let people with addictions go broke then to pay things for themselves.

People are stupid.

SM Run is a regular game. It's got a demo attached.
But it's just really a $10 Mario. It's got about the same amount of content as any other Mario too-- it's pretty good for a $10 game.

FE Heroes, is a standard Mobile game. It's pretty generous for what it is, but it's still got all of the trappings of a regular Mobile "Strip you of your cash" game-- the same toxic anti-consumer pro-business model that lead to the Konami s***storm. The same s*** that's being a literal cancer in the industry.

And it's very refreshing to see Nintendo effectively say "f*** off" to the microtransaction model in favor of full price "buy once" games.

Freemium isn't free. It's a trap.

it doesn't seem like they're saying that at all, so much as "FE has many waifus so we'll exploit people there, but we can't really do that with the rest of our franchises"
