        Also, they don’t really do proper adult games like Elden Ring. If you love Zelda I understand but it’s time to move on.

        In the context of the first sentence, the second sentence seems to imply that Zelda isn’t for “proper adults”. Even if it wasn’t meant like that (I can’t see how else it can be meant), who is OP to tell people to “move on”.

          Fair, my phrasing was probably too saucy there. Drunk post, my bad. I would still call myself a Zelda fan, even though the last one I played was Twilight Princess. It’s one of the all-time greatest series and the titles nearly always score 9/10 everywhere for a reason.

          But I’m still going to say to “move on”. Not because of Zelda, no. There’s no real substitute. Rather, move on because Nintendo is scummy and doesn’t deserve your money when plenty of other publishers are making fun and creative games and working hard for it instead of suing their own customers.

      That’s true. I wouldn’t expect someone to play games that aren’t fun to them.

      But you’re not exactly helping the gaming industry improve if you’re regularly giving money to douchey companies rather than more open-minded publishers. I think it’s pretty simple to argue that you’re endorsing the scumbag behavior if you help finance it.
