People should realize though that Red Note has actually been around since 2013 and is not a new app. WHat might be new is their owners may be more dedicated to replacing TIktok due to what been happening to TIktok in the u.s of late.

I been on the Fediverse around 2-3 years(closer to 3)

and, even still am trying out Fediverse platforms I hadn’t got into as much as others. Such as Pixelfed.

As a supplier I can see that. But as a game developer on top of being a hardware manufacturer. Still seems like there would be some kind of counter of interest to their game selling potentially less copies to Sega’s to an extent. Many do just buy Nintendo’s games anyway. but what if that wasn’t the case one day.

We might be seeing some growing signs of that today, with many opting for games like Fortnite over Nintendo’s own games. Cod, wasn’t really competing on Nintendo’s console at the time when it was ported to Nintendo platforms since it was mainly driving people to other consoles with the better experience. (according to the fans of cod.)

So even if you look at their game platform like that, it’s not 100% the same since they also make content of their own. They are still competing with 3rd party games for profit.

Yes, of course it was up to Sega whether they wanted their game on another’s console at any time. My point mainly was that Nintendo didn’t block a competing game. While yes, Nintendo would profit from a console sale over a 3rd party game. Yet, seemingly not just from a 3rd party game that sells. As, I’m not sure if Nintendo would get a percent of a 3rd party devs profits. If that was the case that does sound about right. But not sure if that was the case.

last year I went cold turkey on video games for about a whole year. This year I started playing video games again, but started making better choices on video games not designed to addict me into playing repeatedly for days, weeks and months online.

Even Nintendo allowed Sega’s Sonic Heroes to compete with Super Mario Sunshine on their own game conosle back in the day. What Meta is proposing is just restrictive censorship of the open internet and on creativity as I see it.

and don’t think they won’t start blocking mentions of Mastodon. unless, they won’t since Mastodon is just known for being a Twitter alternative.

Make Mastodon known for replacing any and all corporate social media. That’l get em.
