They will turn off the live service and make it work offline?

I don’t understand. Industry bootlickers told me it was impossible and would cost billions to implement, hurting small indie studios the most. Yet, Nintendo does it voluntarily with seemingly no difficulties.

Nintendo refuse to ever be predictable

You don’t get it bro, Nintendo decimated half of their net worth pulling off this miracle!!! ^^^/ ^^^s

Don’t worry they’ll do a C&D sometime soon to make up for it

Nintendo doing something good consumer-wise for once and not being a dick? I’m conflicted.

Nintendo might be seeing the writing on the wall and looking to see how much profit they can make with this. If it goes well, we might see more of it. Corporations hate regulation and sometimes try and head it off long before it is coming.

This is… kind of weird, no? Like why would they pull the plug on an app that keeps the microtransaction money rolling?

CosmoNova ,

I recall Nintendo claiming they wanted to move away from mobile again a while ago but I didn‘t really believe it back then and I‘m still skeptical now. They‘ve received more criticism for their predatory mobile games lately so maybe that got something to do with it or it‘s simply not making enough money anymore to bother with it and they‘d rather get the devs working on something else.

Maybe Switch 2 will be announced around than with a new AC as a launch title?

Chozo ,

I have to imagine the game is no longer making enough money through MTX to staff a dev team anymore.

This seems like a pretty good way to end a live service game, though. This way your game doesn't just disappear into the ether completely.

That was the most logical answer I came up too. Its just crazy to do the right thing and make if work offline instead of just binning it like so many other live service games.

This is the future StopKillingGames wants us to live in.
