1. Did you know that you don’t own your Splatoon game? And no I’m not just talking about owning the game outright. When you play a turf war or a Rank battle players cannot vote on stages, every couple hours the stages change (called rotations.) The game auto picks a stage between a limited set of 2 stages per rotation. This is intentional to keep you playing. You’l never get bored playing even without updates, because, “omg, *that stage is now in rotation.”

  2. You can’t just get all the money and ought right buy all the items in one big swoop and be done. (with in-game currency.) The item shops have a similar rotation for the in shop items. this I believe is intended to keep even the best players to keep subscribing to switch online for some time. If you didn’t get it yet Splatoon is designed to addict or trap you into staying subscribed to Nintendo Switch online. You can’t even access the game shops with your built in currency to buy the items unsubscribed to nso.

Splatoon is one of the worse capitalist traps on the planet, they get your kids hooked with the Woomy and the Veemo character sound effects, and the turf war mode itself. They’ll never want to put it down, they’l keep begging you to stay subscribed to switch online for them. Over time Nintendo will raise the prices for the switch online service, and the Switch consoles. It’s all connected.

I use to be a Splatoon addict, since the Wii U release in 2015, it was free to play it online. I played SPlatoon 2 and 3 but I finally jumped ship and said, I need to stop playing Splatoon, Nintendo is literally just creating this fictional universe to suck the money out of your wallets, and while yes the game is cute and made well, that’s the buisness model of Splatoon. Stay cute, addictive, and never let you get tired or to stop playing the game due to boredom. It might hurt at first but by quiting *this game you’re doing your self a favor.

  1. Every seemingly small decision such as not letting players pick maps on regular matches, ad the shops not being 100% access all the time to their entire catelogs. It’s critical to their business model. Nintendo getting your money at monthly rates and from dlc, and from raising the console prices like the Switch 2. Quit Splatoon today and quit the Nintendo Switch 2 today to avoid this capitalist leach, known as…

Nintendo.
