Opt in means they’re building up the infrastructure to make it opt-out when nobody is looking.

Video games, and Zelda especially, should only be for rich, privileged folk. Poor people need to work 3 jobs if they want to play games in all that free time they must have.
How much were they 8 years later?
If they owned Mario and Zelda, you can bet your britches they would be.
I bought a physical copy of BotW while I was living Japan. My Nintendo account is U.S. My copy of TotK is Digital to boot.
Fuck me, right? lol. What an ass hole I am!
I replay OoT and MM at least once a year. I can see myself replaying these new Zelda games at some point and enjoying them, but I won’t likely pay $90 for the privilege.
It’s the U.S. equivalent of cheap N. Korea propaganda videos.
I assume it’ll run Linux? That’s the thing I’m most excited for. The VR/AR enthusiast community will be able to contribute openly to the growth of AR/VR as a computing platform in a way that meta can’t bridle or control.
Well just end up back here begging consumers to please use specific, non-corporate distribution forks of Linux rather than just Linux in general.
I just wish I could have my own personal AI that I could plug into everything, so I don’t need to subscribe to a bunch of separate things that are otherwise stupid for subscribing to. Something I have complete agency over and can run offline.
The black samurai dude is already prevalent in Japanese pop culture. The folks going around saying that’s the problem are just confused and dumb. There’s no real issue there The issue lies in how things are portrayed that make the game look not distinctly Japanese, but more western “Asia wonderland”. I lived in Japan for over 10 years, I have Japanese family, so I pick up on some of this. It definitely gives the vibe of a Canadian studio did as much “Japan” (TM) as they possibly could without having to actually go there or consult genuine professionals on cultural nuance or visual identity.
I say this as someone who has only seen promotional materials and not the game itself, though. So the game itself could prove me wrong. And I don’t care if you enjoy the game or not, I’m just sharing why it kind of turns me off.

I’d rather ride an Airbus than a Boeing anyway. Boeing makes me nervous.
