I can't believe anyone bought Black Ops 2. How many times can Activision sell the same game? This year's game will mark the seventh CoD 4 reiteration.  I understand that each game is thematically pretty different and that there are slight improvements to the engine and graphics. I understand that the formula is changed a little bit with each game. But does that justify another $60 purchase every year? I don't think so.

 

I suppose the same argument could be made for Mario games, but I don't know enough about that to comment.

I imagine the proposition was more like, "use Origin or we're not going to support your platform." I don't really care, I don't remember the last EA game I bought so it's not a blow for me personally, but for Nintendo it's pretty significant. 

I just joined today and this is one of the first threads I saw.

It is really discouraging to see that this thread even exists. I personally know very few people with a Wii U, so I came here hoping to find like-minded people who I could discuss Wii carp with. I tentatively join a community I know nothing about, and this is what I see. That does not make me want to become an active member.

The key to fostering any web community is growth. A community that doesn't change is a community that stagnates. A stagnant community is a community with nothing to talk about.

This is an important discussion to have; when you love a community you don't want it to 'implode', but having this carp on the front page is not a good way to welcome members, ergo not a good way to prevent implosion.

Hopefully, game prices will go down to compete with Steam and mobile stuff. ... Hopefully.

Welcome! I joined today too.
