the original Switch already had online subscription..

This was literally mentioned in the direct last week—the chat function is part of the Nintendo online sub. you also need to pay to be able to play online in the first place. Not defending Nintendo or anything but this stupid clickbait is stupid clickbait.

Man I can't wait to theoretically buy this console, be playing a game, and accidentally click that button when in the middle of something. I'm sure it minimizing what I'm doing and auto redirecting to the store page won't get annoying at allllll.

Then just remap it to something else...

You'll need to pay to remap obviously

[–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, it is. It's a setting in the accessibility settings.

Wrong. I don’t have to pay shit

[–] Comtief@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

How are you going to use the C button without paying?

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That’s the trick I’m not. Fuck the switch 2 and all of Nintendo.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

So explain how "You have to pay to use the C button" is a wrong statement.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world -3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Because no one is making me pay shit.

“You have to pay” blah blah blah. No Karen I DONT have to pay.

[–] Comtief@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

not "have to pay", "have to pay to use"

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world -2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

So you have a way of using the C button without paying?

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world -3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The C button is for chumps. C for chump.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That's not the argument. You said the statement "You have to pay to use the C button" is wrong. How is that statement wrong?

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world -3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The argument is what I say it is!

Bow to me!

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Wrong. I choose not to.

[–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

By remapping it to a different function, as stated in the accessibility settings.

[–] Comtief@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

True, true.

Nice nice I love extra features locked behind a paywall on shit that I buy
