What causes this phenomenon?

What causes you to waste all of your and everyone else's time with this garbage?

Do what?
Release a finished game then release another game on top for half the price?

How do you feel about a PC game like Dota 2, where every hero is free and will always be free and the game itself is free. Playing the game online is also free, unlike Nintendo's service. Are you willing to concede that Valve>Nintendo? It is objectively a better model for customers.

Foamstars failed because the characters weren't young enough for Nintenpedo tastes. Oh, and of course, it wasn't on switch. No normal adult plays Splatroon. Or Splagroom, if you will.

you may say all that, but the monetisation still on point. even if foamstar went the pedo route like some fate gacha or something, it would have the microtransactions and sell you the kid thongs for 30 dollars

Let me rephrase

bad game $80

good game $80

Which game had a DLC released that was like a new game but at half the price? Perhaps you are mistaking that for what happened with tears of the kingdom? It was 50% more game built on top of the original except it was full price and a separate game, not a DLC. Easy mistake.

Shittendo

Good games

50% more game

LOL

Don’t know about Shittendo games, never played them. But Nintendo continuously made great game hence why Switch outsold everything by a mile

I have always owned a PC and Nintendo since 1990. Steam licensing games never sat well with me so I pirated everything. I prefer to buy games that do not require internet access to function. I love Half-Life, GMOD, Portal, etc., but have the .exes on my PC without Steam. I like that my Nintendo games work without Internet and I can put them in the cabinet next to my 35 years of games stashed away. I don't think paying for Internet access justifies much, but luckily you can still buy your games and play them like you always have regardless. I am not the target audience for social games and always online stuff. Nintendo Online is a laggy mess. Playing as Kazuya vs Snake offline at 60fps with my friends? Great stuff.
