[QUOTE="naughty_cat, post: 7177457, member: 342105"] I believe the term "Anti-consumer" pretty much hits the spot... It's not just Nintendo... Anti-consumer maneuvers have become a trend amongst large video game corporations in recent years. Putting it that way: "how they purposefully withhold supply to meet demand to artificially stimulate demand" pretty much outlines the development history of games such as MGSV. The difference is that most of the successful gaming coportations would usually do their very best to hide their tracks... Others such as Nintendo and Konami have been becoming quite vulgar about it... EDIT: I for one believe that Jim's (somewhat offensive) comments about BOTW might have been a lot friendlier had Nintendo followed a different, more friendly supply-and-demand policy along the past few years. I also believe that he might have actually given it a slightly higher score had it been developed and published by some kind of 3rd party game developer or something (and to clearly illustrate this analogy, I'd have to imagine that we're living in an alternative universe where it's the exact same game, but doesn't have the title "Zelda" and has no predecessors :D) [/QUOTE]
