First off, the relationship between customers and businesses is asymmetrical...
See, that's true until you started pushing the loyalty card which I'll get to in a minute. All the things you're saying Nintendo should be doing, they ARE doing. You didn't get 3 games and you're acting like a spoiled 7-year old girl who didn't get the pony she wanted. They have only "failed" in meeting the very specific demands on the very few. No company in the world can please their entire customer base. That is literally impossible. They're bound to disappoint someone somewhere in some way.
Secondly, I've never expressed an interest in every game Nintendo has ever made, so why would it be a double standard anyway if I didn't buy them? The Operation Rainfall, yes, I am interested in those and I would buy them. If they came out and I didn't buy them then and only then would I be a hypocrite and guilty of a double standard.
You're the one thumping the loyalty card. However, loyalty is a two-way street. It's give and take. You're promoting a double standard because you expect preferential treatment without doing anything special to deserve it. That's not loyalty. That's entitlement. That's having unrealistic expectations because you bought some **** at some point. That doesn't make you special. That makes you
every other consumer ever. The vast majority of Nintendo fans are okay with not getting the Rainfall games. Most of them will NOT buy Xenoblade now that it's finally coming to NA and never planned to anyway. Some will. Collectively, they make up the group of core gamers that Nintendo caters to because they're the ones who are demanding but aren't impossible to please, not the tiny subset stomping their feet in a corner that you belong to. Nintendo can't (and shouldn't attempt to) please you without falling into financial ruin because this doesn't begin and end with the Rainfall titles. You complain about a lot of things. You call for Reggie's head when he's the best President and COO that Nintendo of America has ever seen. By far. It's not even close. There's a reason why he's running NOA and you are not.
So, tell me, what exactly sets you, a supposed "loyal customer," from the rest of us "normal customers?" Certainly, you must be doing something the rest of us
norms aren't doing since you're putting yourself on a pedestal as a special case that Nintendo must grovel to. If you are demanding that Nintendo cater specifically to your needs and wants by releasing every single game without regard for profitability as proof of their undying love for you
Oh Loyal Customer, then, yes, to prove your loyalty in return, you must be going above and beyond everyone else. Otherwise, you're just regular ol' customer like the rest of us.
What sets the Operation Rainfall games apart from most of the rest of the Wii's lineup is these are top notch high quality games which THOUSANDS of people have been petitioning and demanding to be released.
And not MILLIONS... There's your answer.
