EA gave away a few <10 year old games for free and sold some others in $1 bundles.
Meanwhile, Nintendo charges $5 for 30 year old games. How do you justify this?
You can't.
>ea gave away a bunch of shit games no one cares about
>nintendo charges only 5$ for one of the best of all time
>wah im too poor! nintendyearolds will defend this! fucking shills!

EA destroyed every developer I cared about.
>>320258256
Yeah, because an NES platformer totally holds a candle to the likes of Dead Space or Burnout Paradise. Yep, absolutely. No fanboy bias here.
>>320258256
You've obviously not seen the games they're giving away.
I hate EA as much as the next guy but they were giving away some cool ass games

Nintendo is Japanese EA
>pic related
all my free shit from origin
>>320258396
more or less this.
>>320257881
Because there are enough people who are willing to pay for them, simple as that.
>please pay $30 for a game that came out over two decades ago
Nintendo actually gave that game away for free a a few years ago for Christmas.

wow its literally nothing

enjoy the spyware
>>320257881
Because Nintendo games are still good.
>they gave me X
>but they didn't give me Y!
So what?
>>320259353
>thinking i give a shit
>Meanwhile, Nintendo charges $5 for 30 year old games. How do you justify this?
It's 5 bucks. I don't need to.

One has a pretty bad reputation even among the general gamer base and is trying to get people to switch over to their DRM service.
The other is Nintendo.
>>320258351
I think its more representative of how they treat their franchises. EA only gives those games out for free because they think the franchises are worthless pieces of shit that they can close the development studio at any time they want because they only care about the games launching the current year.
I mean look at this >>320258947 and see how many came from studios EA killed off.
>>320258947
And free spyware!

Fixed.
People are willing to pay for it, much to your dismay.
EA giving away free games or selling them for $1 is more of a marketing strategy than them trying to profit on old games. Don't EA's free games require an Origin account?

>Implying that general games don't like mahrios and their zelders.
>Implying that people aren't eating up amiboos and other skylanders garbage.
>Implying that most gamers give a fuck about XCX and Fatal Frame being censored.
>>320257881
And if nintendo was giving them away the response would be;
>Nintendo is so shit they have to give their games away.
Don't like it don't buy it. Emulation and piracy are options.

fanboys
>>320258540
no one mentioned graphics you mongoloid.
>>320258256
Who's that girl?
See, I've been wondering now if that claim that Nintendo can go so many decades not making a profit and still survive, is only because of their high prices on just about anything they shit out - and more specifically the fact that prices never drop. I was trying to pick up Pokemon Sapphire for the 3DS and it's still $40. I bet if Nintendo begun sales and discounts like Microsoft, steam, even Rare with their Replay bundle, they wouldn't last a year in the current market
>>320258256
why does she have lotion on her face?
>>320262347
Possibly. If that is the case it shows that nintendo's strategy is working in that area.
>>320262347
>Nintendo can go so many decades not making a profit and still survive
>3DS is selling like hotcakes, Wii, GBA and the original DS sold more than 100 mil units each
Also if I remember correctly, nintendo doesn't sell their hardware at a loss like sony did so they make money of consoles and software.

Fanboys would buy physical.
Digital is for normies and casuals.
