Funding came from sony, yes, that means they are investors and publishers, not the developers. Sure they probably have more direct input on first party titles, but I don't think that means they made them.
Nah, that's Sony through and through. The company was created and owned by Sony from the beginning.
If you're interested in playing TotK, it runs just fine on PC via emulation at 4K 60fps. I got a few friends playing through it that way. You'll get a much better experience than on the console itself with the low dynamic res and the 30fps with drops below. Even some mods to improve some things, from what I hear. I don't know the specifics. I wish I had waited to play BotW via emulation (although I borrowed the game on Wii U so it was no cost to me), and if I eventually do play TotK, it will definitely be via emulation. Same goes for when I played WW HD and TP HD. I played them on Wii U but those who played them on PC got a better experience.
Sometimes it feels like their main business is suing people, and developing games and consoles is just a side business. They have especially been a bunch of *ssholes when it comes to ROMs and game preservation. Tired of their games never having decent sales either. That's why with Nintendo systems you usually have to roll with a soft-modded system. Really sets those systems free. Been having a blast with my soft-modded 3DS XL. Also lets you properly back up your save data which you can't do on systems like Wii and Wii U without soft-modding. My bro and I each have a friend that has a soft-modded Switch, some nice shiznit there too.
If they don't aggressively defend their trademarked properties, they lose the trademark. Them suing is a testament to the property's popularity, where people in their zeal want to do whatever strikes their fancy with the trademarked property.
It and BoTW run ~amazingly~ well on Yuzu - even on Steam Deck. Or, so, a friend told me.
Live service games are the reason Sony acquired Bungie. They don't have the capital to buy a bigger publishing house like Activision or EA.
I heard this excuse before but no other company does anything remotely similar to nintendo and still they have their trademarks intact.
I agree, Nintendo is nutty, I love them, but they nutty. They started attacking over 'lets play' videos. I know they would either send take down, demonetized , or forced the money back to them ( how ever that works) don't know if they are still as agressive or if no one makes ' lets play' based on nintemo anymore.
Yeah, lawyers are expensive. Priorities, bro.
