If it takes you two minutes to hit mute on your headset, I damn sure don't want to play with you online.
Everyone keeps looking at this from their own personal perspective. Wahhh.
Nintendo doesn't have lawyers to look at it from your perspective. They are looking at it from their own. And from where they stand, a few people whining about no infinite XBL-like breadth isn't worth the hassle.
Instead, they've got millions of people up on the DS wifi within a few months, few complaints from the majority of their userbase, and the ability to stop lawsuits dead in the tracks.
You need to quit assuming everyone out there is a logical minded gamer. An 8 year old doesn't even know what mute means probably, let alone how to work such things. And parents are too lazy.
If you want to be mad at someone, blame all the useless people not doing a damn thing to help themselves, but want to cry wolf and bitch and moan and try to get payouts from big corporations purely based on their own ignorance. And then blame the justice system that allows that kind of bullsh*t to go down.
If we weren't in this situation to begin with, Nintendo wouldn't do it. BUt guess what, we are. It's like when you can't buy fireworks because some idiot kid blew a finger off a few towns over.
Same idea here.
I didn't mean it takes me two minutes to push a mute button,I mean actually installing it into a headset.
I also agree with you that Nintendo is in this situation because of parental laziness and ridiculous litigation.My point was that we as gamers shouldn't have to have these limitations because of a few idiots in the world.
I just personally believe that this type of system limits the formation of a solid online community.As an example,how good would the community on this board be if we could only discuss things with people we've exchanged forum codes with beforehand? I think these boards would probably be dead if that was the case.
