Weird sales pitch. I’m not sure who he is trying to appeal to here?

Do you have a link to the archived screenshot?
If they stole the code that would be copyright infringement.
Wait… How do Trade Secrets work?
I thought that the individuals might be in legal trouble if they violate NDAs or No Compete clauses but that once the “secret” was out it was fair game.
QUByte Interactive is publishing Glover on Switch, Xbox and PS.
I agree, but I can’t see them pricing the launch model of new gen lower than the current price of any of the gen models.
Of course they could drop the price of the Switch one models to maintain a price ladder.
But the inflation adjusted launch price of the Switch 1 in 2017 is equivalent to au$587.26 in 2024, so the Switch 2 looks like it would fit pretty nicely placed just above the current prices.
The OLED is currently retailing at au$540 here so I would expect the new one to round up to au$600.
“detachable metal shrapnel”?
There is an interesting list here;

Nintendo includes sales numbers for their successful games in their financial reports so they are well represented but wikipedia also includes 3rd party figures when the publisher has released the numbers.
The top 5 3rd party titles*:
* I have overlooked titles like Pokemon and Hyrule Warriors as they are published by Nintendo in some regions.
Its just a warning, if the game is still active people can still access it.
IIRC for the N64 controllers the Australian Nintendo Store couldn’t keep them stocked for more than an hour every 6 months or so from when to first released in October 2021 to when stock stabilised in June 2023.
From what it hear it was similar on many other regions too, I don’t think it had the effect they were hoping for.
Nintendo Doing Everything It Can To Prevent Scalpers
Last I heard that the N64 controllers were limited to NSO subscribers. :/
Not really, my reading is that they want it to bypass the battery when docked.
Their take is that the battery power is irrelevant once it has an external power supply.
You’d have to sacrifice too much of a capacity to prevent it so it’s easier to just try no to go below 20% of charge.
But that’s the thing, you are sacrificing the capacity its just that you are being asked to make that decision manually each and every time. They know how the drain/recharge cycles effect the battery so they could set the main/max cutoffs to optimum values.
For SSDs we expect them to over provision the storage and consider the increased longevity a measurable benefit. I don’t see why batteries should be any different.
if you go that far you’re damaging it.
If that’s true to any significant degree that’s an even bigger problem.
The device should be switching off with something to 5% charge remaining to prevent battery damage.
I think Sims 1 was physical only.
As a digital product EA halted distribution of the Sims 2 with very little notice:
On July 16, 2014, Electronic Arts announced the end of support for The Sims 2. As a response, The Sims 2: Ultimate Collection was released at the same time as a limited time offer. The game became available for free download from Origin exclusively following an announcement by EA that they would no longer be supporting the game. This offer ended at 10:00 PDT July 31, 2014.

Oddly it looks like Mac got a version via another distributor not long after ?!
My experience with earlier GDQuest content has been pretty good in the past but the new courses are pretty pricy.
I feel like I’ve been hearing this since odyssey.
