  > Just stop giving money to companies that disrespect you, it is that simple, you DON't NEED the latest slop in your life Well I agree, you don't! Unfortunately, Nintendo produces not slop, but some of the most outstanding games I've ever played (plus a fair bit of slop too). Myself I don't mind to wait a few years and play on an emulator :)

  You don’t NEED video games at all, so it’s kinda moot to say that you don’t NEED the newest “slop”. It’s 100% an entertainment device which is completely unnecessary to life, just like computer games and phone games.

  Nintendo has the best 1st party games. They care a lot about making games that are just fun. What does Valve have? Lootbox, gambling ridden, addictive dopamine juicers. Their offering sucks compared to Nintendo.

    Portal and Half-life series will forever be some of my all-time favorite games, but yeah their newer stuff does seem to be not that great, though I'm very much a "play local" kind of guy

    Of Valve's offerings, I like Steam the most.

    No one is gaming on PC because of "first party" games, and Valve's offerings are literally the whole of Steam with more excellent games you could ever possibly play in a lifetime. Then there's GOG and the other stores. Hell, there are many great games outside any of the major stores. This flimsy excuse only has any sway if all you want to play is the next Mario or Zelda slop, but even then there are emulators.

  I bought a digital only PS5 and bought like 6 games for it. I went into it understanding the limitations and like not having to swap out discs. PS5 is just a tiny sliver of my life which is busy and complicated and I’m paying for the simplicity. I’m ok letting go of such a small amount of control.
