Pachter's quote in question "I don’t really understand the whole hybrid concept... I don’t think most people play it in both modes, I would say that maybe 20% of Switch owners play both modes; and I think most Switch owners play it handheld only. So I honestly don’t understand the whole point of the hybrid. Who cares? Play it as a handheld." "And Nintendo isn’t that smart," he continues, "so you never know what they will do next, but I think the smart thing would be to get rid of the Switch console and only have the Switch Lite, get rid of the docking station, get rid of playing on the TV; maybe offer a Fire Stick style dongle for those who do want to play it on the TV."

I missed out on VGM friday and I guess that is taking place here instead of the VG General thread. Here's my late contribution for the week.

For those who like their motivation just a bit heavier

I use it for both. It's extremely convenient at especially if my wife happens to be watching something that I just don't care about or being able to continue my outside on the go. I like having the option of both taking the option away from those who use it for both is dumb.

I hadn't even fully watched this vid and I still haven't at the time of typing this...but I got to the quote from him and the very first sentence of it...made me lose IQ points. 'I don't really understand the whole hybrid concept'. .....Why? I can't wrap my head around the whole concept of Pachter not understanding the concept. Who the fuck says something like this with this console dominating the charts for the past 22 months? I can't....I just can't compute. Edit: Holy hell there's a 2nd part to his quote? and what a fucking doozy start for this second paragraph 'And Nintendo isn't that smart'. What the fuck am I listening to right now? Yeah Nintendo makes some dumb ass shit decisions some times (case in point the whole Fire Emblem 20th anniversary digital limited release....smh) but this company has been making money hand over fist with this system SINCE RELEASE. It might not stay that way when the new consoles come out but people have been clearly digging what this system is and even more so during the pandemic. Has Patchter just given up on even attempting to be taken seriously? I feel like he's given up on anyone attempting to take him seriously now.

I mean...He didn't get completely washed like Lord Knight and he would have had 6 more opportunities for redemption since its round robin. Super shame really.

Yeesh...this guy. If anything that should make this dude shut up is Among Us. That game nobody was playing and then some streamers played that game and put it on the map and now that dev is making more money.

This place needs Playstation thread and an Xbox thread (need might be a strong word for this...prob should be a combo xbox and pc thread maybe) and then we'll have the big 3 covered on this forum.

This is...UNBELIEVABLY DUMB. This is actually even more dumb than the Super Mario 3D Allstars situation since there isn't a physical game involved that is gonna be put in circulation. I like FE but I don't like it enough to spend 5.99 on an old digital NES game thats going to support this tomfoolery. I was gonna buy the game despite probably barely being able to play it but now I'm good. Edit: The more I think about it the more dumb it feels. They spent time and money doing their own translation of the game...why in the hell from a business perspective would you not want to make maximum profit for your effort. Fuckin BLOWS MY MIND right now.

Wait.. FE isn't going to be available digitally afterwards? I thought only the limited edition was limited.

Is it on any streaming services? I'll check it out.

I don't know what movie that is from but considering what I'm looking at...might be similar

An unfortunate no lies detected post.

So...I thought this movie was dumb at first...but then as I watched the trailer I realized that it knew how ridiculous it was and was only pretending to be serious.
