Nintendo is an outlier in another sense too. They straight-up do not understand the internet and customers. This is evidenced by how very long the 3DS account system had games you bought online tied to the physical machine, instead of the account you used. They're not strict. They're just helplessly ignorant.
- Zikes 11y agoI think it's a bit of a culture clash. Nintendo of America seems to do what they can, given the short leash Nintendo of Japan has them on. There seems to be something about Japanese culture that is fundamentally incompatible with the "share everything" West.
- Laforet 11y agoThey just don't buy into the subscrption model at all and it is not limited to just games. A lot of major Japanese music labels pulled their titles from Apple Music lately because they worry that it competes with the sales of physical albums, without realsing that the market has been in decline for at least a decade.
