-the free game a month is exactly like PS+. As long as you download within that free month it's yours to keep as long as you're subscribed.
Should've sourced that Reggie quote. In case anyone wants to make sure for themselves. So basically, this interview is just stuff we already knew with a bit of misinformation thrown in. Disappointing. :'/
You can't possibly believe this developer over Nintendo themselves. Come the fuck on.I cancelled my pre-order based on Reggie's response to this very issue during the Wired.com interview!
As high as he sits within Nintendos corporate ladder, how does he NOT understand how his own online subscription service works?
Welp, the hunt for a new preorder begins anew...
How can Dev not know the difference between analogue and digital?

"You'll have the opportunity to buy it"...so tell me, what part of that quote confuses you? We'll break it down further if need be.Reggie's response could mean exactly what this dev said tho.

He literally says "correct" when asked if you lose access to the game after a month. I'm running out of gold medals for all these mental gymnasts.
What did you fix, exactly? Why are you altering what I said to begin with?fixed it for you
Honestly I don't know who to believe. I do wish Reggie's responses were as clear and concise as this Devs though...

I'm done.At that point he could be already talking about after said month ended.
-Motion tech is on par with Oculus Touch and Vive controllers. Very accurate. Way better than Wii motion plus and PS Move controllers.
It's not that much of a leap. He could have interpreted "access" as availability on the service. As in, he could have been clarifying that the free games do not accumulate on the service, that is to say new subscribers will not be able to access all past games. Just like PS+.He literally says "correct" when asked if you lose access to the game after a month. I'm running out of gold medals for all these mental gymnasts.
That's because it is.I'm calling bullshit on this

The main stretch here is interpreting his "buy" as purchasing (for free) on the store for that month. I've certainly seen that terminology being used for PS+ before.
I'm done.
It's crystal clear. People are just in denial because they refuse to believe Nintendo would have such a backwards policy in response to PSN and XBLA.

Q: Nintendos online service for Switch will charge a monthly fee and one of the incentives is one free classic game per month. Does that mean you lose access to that game after a month?
A: Correct. It means that essentially youve got access to that game for a period of time, and then after the month theres a new selection. Youll have the opportunity to buy it, but [after] that month weve moved on to another game.
Lol, multiple things wrong things in OP + that tag.

Question: Does that mean you lose access to that game after a month?
Reggie: Correct
Thanks baeThe word "dev" doesn't mean anything in a Nintendo context. Anyone can become a Nintendo developer. There's nothing stopping you from signing up and selling Unity sample games on Nintendo's online network.
I can't see "you'll have the opportunity to buy it" in that quote referring to anything other than the free purchase, because that's before he says they then move on to another game the next month.This quote is crystal clear.
Reggie would have to be one of the biggest PR failures in corporate history with one of the worst commands of the English language to mean what people are claiming he meant.
Ok?
I couldn't care less about that, apparently it's not possible to have a real discussion without people starting to make "funny comments" to appear smart.
At that point he could be already talking about after said month ended.
Read my other post again, he could mean that you lose access to adding that game to your library. There's no need to try to be funny with that "gold medal" line.
I'm not saying he means that, I'm just stating that it can be taken both ways, not doing any mental gymnastics. I'm most likely not gonna get this service anyway unless it's super cheap.

Everything in the OP reads like she's talking 100% fake insider bullshit.

This feels like the definition of playing semantics when that quote seems so incredibly clear to me.I can't see "you'll have the opportunity to buy it" in that quote referring to anything other than the free purchase, because that's before he says they then move on to another game the next month.
I say either reading is valid, but we need more clarification.
The discussion you are wanting to have is ludicrous and to take it seriously would require someone to divorce themselves from reality and common sense.
Please enlighten as to how clear this "opportunity" statement is. It sounds like a limited window, unless he thinks after the game is gone then buying it as usual is such a great opportunity. Which could be, but the way he says they "move on" after it makes me think otherwise.This feels like the definition of playing semantics when that quote seems so incredibly clear to me.
Given what Reggie has said himself, there is indeed no discussion to be had until he comments again.Ok, I see you are still in need of making those "smart comments" at the end of your sentence to be funny. There's clearly no discussion to be had here.
That's exactly what it is. "Opportunity" sounds like classic PR trying to make it sound like Nintendo is doing me a favor.Please enlighten as to how clear this "opportunity" statement is.
