Software Engineer here. I don't work specifically on games, but I think I can offer some insight about why online game launches are never smooth. Without getting too deep and technical, there are basically 2 major factors that come to mind: 1. Honestly, I think the main reason is $$$. No company is ever going to pay for more servers than they need. They'll always err on the side of having too few servers. Especially because they know the number of concurrent players will drop dramatically after a little while, and then they'd have a bunch of idle servers that they're paying for. 2. Bob kind of touched on this. It's actually really difficult to replicate real-world usage and parameters during QA testing. Even if you do have the time and resources to do proper load testing, the one thing you can't account for is how users will interact with your software. They'll probably do some weird stuff that you just didn't account for that puts extra load on the system.

@cargath Год назад

Sure, but modern server infrastructure can be scaled up and down dynamically. They don't need to pay a bunch of unused servers for months, they can pay for all the servers for a few days, then scale back to whatever they actually need.

@Tonytyga88 Год назад

@cargath I actually agree with your thought, and would love to see some sort of work to the system at hand but unless a conpany has its own servers, in house (and I'd assume some large companies do), many games will probably only be able to do one month agreements with the hosting company... and some games' concurrent player counts can drop off in a week... which means they will still err toward "minimum viable" value as opposed to "maximum possible"

@thinkhector Год назад

@@cargath I don't think that's true at all, and I'm just an outsider. I'm just observing. Look at happened when Falls Guys laughed. It was too popular and they didn't have enough servers. It took WEEKS to fix the problem. If they could just scale up or down easily as you think they can, than what couldn't they? It makes me think the problem is different.

@tony_0088 Год назад

@@thinkhector I'm also a software engineer and we work with a suite of products that are cloud based. The cloud service providers can indeed scale resources up and down based on load if your subscription plan allows for it. So, what cargath mentioned is mostly true, but it is limited by the quality of the provider they are using as well as the plan they pay for. If I had to guess, I'd say they have their own local infrastructure and they aren't using any provider that can scale resources dynamically.

@thinkhector Год назад

@@tony_0088 If companies can scale up and down servers there isn't any evidence of this in the video game world. Look at how many free 2 play games are being shutdown because of "server costs." Well if the cost of the server is scaled to the number is uses then it should be completely feasible to make money even of a small to medium player base. The markets just don't bare out what you are saying.

Referring to the free game on Wii u, if you bought Mario kart 8 they would give you a code for certain games including Pikmin 3. I remember Scott The Woz talking about it...

@zeikjt Год назад

18:18 What? I know some gift cards can start draining value after a year, but I've never seen any that expire outright before years and years have passed. And even then, you can usually call the card company (phone number / website on card itself) and they'll literally mail you a new card with the remaining value on it. Rewards stuff from companies like Nintendo and such, that's a different ballpark but also is usually a year or more of time to redeem.

@Widgerber Год назад

I assumed this was an American thing. Here in Canada there's legislation to essentially ban gift cards from expiring.

@mattsessions27 Год назад

Even with the Gameboy, it's still a ripoff. I've kept PS+ since day 1, i reevaluate if i should reactivate switch online each month. Been out for 6 months now

@cargath Год назад

I guess i'm pretty alone with this opinion, but i _like_ that Nintendo doesn't provide built-in voice chat. If there was built-in voice chat, you'd be expected to participate in it. And i don't need 12 year olds screaming at me when i want to play a few casual matches of Splatoon. And if you're playing with friends, you're probably using some other form of communication already anyway.

@glitchasaur Год назад

On the pokemon games conversation, I want Nintendo to add pokemon red/blue/yellow and pokemon gold/silver in pokemon stadium 1 & 2 in gameboy tower and enable online multiplayer. That should be a n64 experience everyone should be allowed to experience online

@jordankoss6081 Год назад

I think it's ridiculous that if I buy a physical Nintendo Switch game that's been out for a year or more I can't get gold coins for it even though I spent my money on it.

@Moonlighter_TV Год назад

The voucher thing just isn't that complicated. Buy the voucher, save it for 2 brand new $60 (or $70) games you don't want to wait for a sale on and you save $20. They basically reimburse your $20/year NSO sub. It's not amazing but $20 is $20. I preordered TotK with it so I guess that's $30

@ThePhil-Osopher Год назад

Yeah but if you’re getting online just for the voucher you’re wasting your time.

@Moonlighter_TV Год назад

@@ThePhil-Osopher yeah definitely, but that's not the point. It's basically saying "as long as you have 2 full price Nintendo exclusives you want we will give you a discount the same cost as a year of NSO so you get the games you already wanted and the NSO is free

@lawrence703 Год назад

You’re right, it’s definitely a saving. Or, if you don’t mind waiting to save more, all Nintendo games go on sale for 33% eventually (well, they have done so far here in UK)

Nintendo switch online is definitely the weakest out of the three online services but I am extremely happy with it. It is the cheapest and also has been increasing in value. I originally signed up for it because of the Mario kart DLC and I was debating on, just purchasing the DLC it straight out. Luckily, I signed up for the extension pass, which I would end up getting due to game boy advance be on there and N64. So overall, it’s probably worth the value now if it wasn’t before.

@Ramiryoooooooooo Год назад

Mah dudes, that Zelda game and watch had both Zelda, Zelda 2, and Link's Awakening for $50. There's no way Pokémon yellow is better than Zelda 🤣 if their Pokémon game and watch only had yellow it wouldn't be worth the same. They'd need to also add blue and red, and then it's worth $50.

@TheEclipsedLock Год назад

I will say that it is incredibly hard to get my friends to set up emulators and set up controls and then getting an online thing running so everyone can connect. I can definitely handle the setup process but trying to get other friends in on it proves to be a huge hurdle to get over, like spending an hour trying to get something working when we could have done something else Nintendo simplifying all of this so that we can just connect and play older games easily like mario party or potentially kirby and the amazing mirror is a *huge* selling point for me since I just wanna involve friends playing these. The $80 price hurts, dont get me wrong but if it lowers the barrier of entry so I can enjoy these with close friends in a more accessible way... I'll take it.

In my state gift cards are not allowed to expire. Many states have similar laws. So even after a year or two,if you end up finding an old gift card; they have to accept it. Most stores don’t expire them after a year anyway. Gift cards and vouchers allow companies to bring in revenue in the current quarter and also guarantee that revenue. Makes it a lot easier to forecast and budget when you have their money ahead of time.

For countries that don’t have the American discount, the vouchers are much bigger savings. For me it is 9980 yen, and some games on the list are 8500 yen. TotK is 7900 for reference. If you have the basic NOL subscription, the savings for doing it once is basically like getting your annual subscription price back.

The addition of Gameboy, Gameboy Color, and Gameboy Advance games was fantastic! As of now, the main things that stick in my craw with Nintendo's Online service are 1.)

If Nintendo could fix those two issues, everything would be just about perfect! Oh and Nintendo needs to add some kind of trophy system to the Switch.

@JosueRamirez18 Год назад

Most of Nintendo games don't have "servers" those are simply peer-to-peer connection...the only server interaction going on in the middle is the validity check that you are subscripted to the online service. But Splatoon specifically runs entirely on a peer-to-peer connection basis, no servers involved...that's why it sucks...previous games had better netcode 'cuz there were servers involved.

@delecti Год назад

You were worried people would call you out for being wrong, but honestly I think that even with GB/GBA you were too kind. The online in games sucks, and the online "around" games (chat, matchmaking, friends) would be crappy by year 2000 standards. The free games are good games, but barely anybody will play them on there for the first time, and anyone else could have been emulating them the whole time so easily. We aren't talking about the Gamecube and above generation that's tough to emulate, it's all stuff that runs great even on phones. The more time I spend with my Steam Deck the more I'm shocked by the audacity of the other companies charging for online (Nintendo's is the worst, but the other two aren't great offerings either).

@neonswift Год назад

They didn't fix the Goldeneye controls on Xbox, the default controls don't let you circle strafe at the speed you could in the original, plus really what the game needs is aiming with right stick when you're not cursor aiming, but then when you do activate cursor aiming its controlled by the left stick - left stick is what we all have cemented in our muscle memory on the n6, you could argue strafing with C is important but that's not as locked in as the game's main control mechanic which was the cursor aiming while on the spot!. You could get close on the Pro Controller on Switch by mapping the C buttons to the face buttons but they could have done so much more to make that game feel both modern and still work with our nostalgic muscle memory.

@ItsBeenTooLong Год назад

Are the vouchers limited time purchase? I see myself buying it when two games on the list are available instead of pre purchasing it. And if someone buys it for you as a gift, that’s free money the gifted usually won’t care how or when you spend it but you got a year to purchase.

Definitely not worth it just like the 3rd tier of playstation plus probably like another 2 years by now they’ll definitely be worth it but I could be wrong so don’t quote me

I want to get the family acct for Nintendo + expansion pack and pay for it monthly, just in case we’re not feeling it anymore. Not being able to pay for it monthly is a deal breaker for me

BOTW tears of the kingdom is on the list which is a $70 game so I bought the vouchers and saved $30

Can one share the voucher with another person within that Nintendo online family membership?

@jackalope8017 Год назад

Smash Bros Wii U had a voucher for a free game. I still have the Wind Waker HD downloaded from the offer.

Nintendo online is so focused on the past tho. I still dont think is worth it, still didnt buy. I want access to new games like xbox and PS do.

Here's a thought, if you feel like something is overpriced and not worth your money, you don't have to buy it. Oh wait it's Nintendo fans we're talking about, they'd buy cardboard boxes for 60$ if Nintendo was written on it.... Oh wait.
