Yeah well, everyone else is copy and pasting their terrible games, so I’ll take Nintendo and Sonys output over Ubisoft, Microsoft, TakeTwo, Bethesda, EA, etc any day.
Nintendo doesn’t develop Pokémon. That’s Gamefreak. I agree Pokémon games are shitty games, and I don’t understand why people buy them. But most games made by Nintendo is usually quite good. You might not like the genre or whatever, but Nintendo games are usually pretty bug free with decent performance and pretty good gameplay. Personally I feel like Nintendo does deliver on quality most of the time.
And yes, Nintendo are greedy like all public companies in a capitalist society. They have an obligation to shareholders to earn as much money as possible. And if they don’t make money doing something, they will stop, because they are not making games out the goodness of their little hearts. At least Nintendo doesn’t try to make every game into some micro transaction hell like Ubisoft, EA, Blizzard, Epic Games.
If no one bought PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo games they would eventually just make those exclusive titles into PC games. They aren’t going to toss those massive profits from IP.
Exclusives don’t exist to make money by themselves, they exist to make the platform more attractive. The real goal is the 30% cut they get from game sales on their platform.
So if people didn’t buy PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo games, Sony and Microsoft probably wouldn’t invest nearly as much into their gaming divisions, and Nintendo would probably turn into what Sega is today.
Well, there is if you want to play exclusives legally.
And support development. Somebody has to pay for these Zelda games if we want more of them.
Fuck no Nintendo’s the richest company in Japan and they’ll copy paste BotW again and release it as a full priced sequel when it’s just BotW 1.6

I don’t really get your point… do you think Nintendo would make new games if nobody bought them?
Pokemon is the highest earning franchise of all time. We do pay for it. Now, where are the Pokemon games? I don’t see them.
And by Pokemon game I don’t mean scarlet/violet/Arceus, those are prototypes that are lower quality than single-dev indie games.
Nintendo has more than enough money for developing games, everything else is greed.
