Isn't Pokemon like... The biggest IP ever? Way bigger than Star wars or marvel or pretty much anything else? Not sure they're actually hurting. At all.

Nintendo is doing and will continue to do gangbusters. They’re the Apple of video games. They aren’t screwing themselves, just you.

Thats me. Pokopia looks so fun, but I can barely afford a PC, which I can use for other things, no way in hell that I am buying a switch.

Yes. I was a huge purchaser of both Steam games and Nintendo exclusives on Switch (as long as they got great reviews).

Then Nintendo's legal team went crazy, attacking emulator developers and suing competing game studios over bullshit "patents" on game mechanics.

So it's time to starve that beast. No more Nintendo games, for me.

Nintendo’s target audience is the mainstream casual gamer. That market has never heard of Palworld. Nintendo is doing fine they don’t care for the pc gamer crowd, since in Japan casual gamers don’t own a gaming pc. And with current hardware pricing and the weak yen the pc gamer market will barely grow in Japan.

Just goes to show, game exclusivity on a shitty overpriced portable console is a bad business practice.

Does it? How? This is a meme about Steam which has nothing to do with Nintendo. How would a PC game even compete with Pokemon at all when that franchise is only sold on Nintendo hardware but more importantly Pokemon is mostly about merch and trading cards anyway. How many trading cards has Palworld sold?

I have dozens of hours in Palworld and don't see much of a resemblance to Pokemon anyway.
