All the more reason to push the industry away from online, or at least towards a model where players can host shit themselves.

Or maybe force consoles back to couch co-op only.

Guy, we can't even convince people not to pre-order.

We most certainly can, but how many people can we reach out of the total number of normies buying games? People in our immediate bubbles might hear us, but otherwise we're basically shouting into the void or pissing in the ocean.

What, you mean like players were doing for years before the advent of "queue-cringed matchmaking"? Never going to happen since it makes it harder for developers to sell overpriced cosmetics.

It occurs to me that most gamers aren't old enough to remember being able to download dedicated server software, released officially by the developers, for use on your own LAN or even made open to the internet.

It will be as foreign to them as actual freedom.

Online gaming probably makes more money in just a few dozen games than the entire rest of the industry combined.

This isn't a winnable fight because, unlike the woke battle, this is us trying to argue against the ones who actually put their money down and make these companies billions.

I don't like it one bit, as I hate just about any form of multiplayer or online content in gaming, but its a lost cause until literally every black dude and every guy in Central and South America stop buying video games.

IIRC at least on switch I have seen you can play games online via emulator so I guess there's online emulation for Nintendo games, don't see why I couldn't for the 3ds,with custom firmware easy to be installed why not?

Almost all Nintendo consoles are so easily to create a working emulator for, and then re-enable basically all their functions (and many extra ones that weren't even available) that its basically a joke.

Like, while Playstation emulation is spotty until you reach the 90s and Xbox is basically nonexistant, Nintendo emulation is dropping current gen consoles with better graphics and running ability.

I'm not sure what Xbox games aren't available on PC, but my guess is they're not compelling enough to make people want to emulate the Xbox. Maybe an old one?

The original Halo games aren't available in the form most people want to play them. Only the MCC versions, which has a lot of changes that are not all received well. Including using the shitty original Halo PC port as a base to build from, which was controversial even at the time. Far as I know, the original Halo 2 PC port isn't even playable and barely was even on release and they never ported any others until a decade later. So 3-5 of the biggest reasons to ever own an Xbox right there.

But the real reason is likely because Xbox is pretty good about backwards compatibility across the console generations, so they need to develop an emulator (which has proved quite difficult from my understanding) wasn't as high as others, who quit doing BC back in 7th gen.
