Thanks for the clarification B-Dubs. Appreciate the effort to find mods that also are regulars in the thread.
Also I did want to respond to something said by some posters earlier in the thread. It may not be obvious without context, but folks in these threads like video games, are curious about how they sell, and want them to sell well and be successful. The vast majority of us are not cheerleading any particular platform, but the industry itself.
Thus when posters might ask "why didn't release X on all platforms", it's because we think business-wise they may be missing out on a significant set of players on the missing platform. Rarely if ever do people seem to be pushing for exclusives (it happens occasionally, but it's rare). More often than not we just want multiplatform development, since that taps into all the potential player bases. We just want games to succeed, and thus think about ways that a potential title could have sold better. Sometimes it needs more marketing (see NEO TWEWY), sometimes it's leaving out platforms where similar titles have done well (Sakura Wars), and other times it's not appealing or it's super buggy (recent Marvelous titles). Just because we're critical of the business decisions made doesn't mean we hate the people involved or the company. We just disagree with the decisions, especially when it ends up with a bad sales result especially in Japan. Sometimes we end up ribbing particular individuals or companies, but it's largely in good fun rather than some malicious intent.
So when folks are asking "why isn't this on Switch", it's not because they're port begging, it's because the game is missing out on a huge traditional and successful userbase in Japan. When the recent baseball game from Konami came to Switch only, many people were asking the exact opposite question "why did they abandon PS4 already, they have a sizable userbase there". When Monster Hunter World came out and was quite successful (a slight decline in Japan and grew a ton worldwide), most folks didn't question the decision after the results, because clearly Capcom had a plan, the game was high budget, and they succeeded. They also even had a backup plan with Monster Hunter Rise, which shows Capcom had really thought things through. When Xbox does well, pretty much everyone cheers it on, because having more relevant players in the space indicates a healthier market. Just because the Switch is doing well and we're cheering it on, or PS5 software sales are poor atm and we point it out, doesn't mean we're "supporting" some console. We're stating facts as they are, celebrating successes, and bemoaning failures. When the Wii U flopped sales-wise around the world, Media Create made tons more fun of the Wii U with numerous memes, chalkboards, etc. Folks took it in stride. PS5 hasn't received half of that even though sadly the software situation somehow looks even worse than the Wii U.
Anyways, just wanted to put my thoughts out there. I agree with the mods message that we could be a lot more civil. If there are trolls or folks trying to agitate others, all I've got to say is report them, then ignore them, and move on.
