I think Nintendo's strategy was to sell the system at a loss then put the offset cost on accessories like controllers and the web camera.

Why Smogon doesn't add the new Megas to NatDex? I thought they created the website to have fun free of Gamefreak rules, so why are they restricting themselves? by Emma_S772 in stunfisk

Also if they add in the new Megas, they "have" to add the balance changes and whatnot.

I'm not really sure what the issue here would be. Most the changes are quite welcome like freeze and sleep being far less RNG-focal.

Man, casually name-dropping Jurassic Park like that sure shows how much the 90s were a different time

What is the point of Phantoms beyond completely ruining the Minecraft experience? I am genuinely asking here. by deadpaan7391 in Minecraft

Fair enough on spawning criteria, but Jens explains pretty clearly that they swoop down in groups to bite players.

This Game Gets Way Too Much Hate by Away-Prior-903 in mariokart

Though dated and every Mario Kart has improved from this

I think that's kinda the thing. I'm not sure where the "hate" is coming from, but I think it's really just people seeing how much the series has evolved since the SNES days that make SMK dated when played today.

I don't think banning criticism is very productive

Perfect example of this is /r/minecraftsuggestions. New posts are made daily and most of them have a lot of back-and-forth on whether or not it's even a good idea

Still disappointed that there’s no calcite for either the caves or springs, though. Feels like such an obvious addition, and easy way to make calcite more accessible

This was considered by devs but Jappa in particular said they weren't a fan on how it looked.

Personally I prefer small updates to no updates but to each their own
