Unpopular opinions with video games

is there some reason Nintendo couldn't have released FE character's in STEAM as normal decently priced DLC

like seriously

The problem with amiibos also amplifies with the stupid godforsaken shortages of them

Like, GOOD LUCK finding Little Mac, Rosalina, Pit, Marth, Villager, Wii Fit Trainer etc in the US without spending overly inflated prices online.

being fair most of these being hard to find are due to scalpers and stuff

it's actually somewhat amusing when i see people (not talking about you but in general) who want to collect amiibo and stuff but have never collected things before so the whole concept of "there are people that will literally buy tons of these things that they know will be desired specifically so they can sell it for inflated prices"
 
I don't even go to collect too many Amiibo. I may pick one up if I see a character I'd like to have for the heck of it if I can just get it from a nearby retail. No way am I going to look to buy an Amiibo that's being told for twice or more of the retail value online. I only have 4 (Mario, Luigi, Pikachu, and Sonic). The first three were impulse buys. Sonic's was the only one I really, REALLY wanted. Got all of them at retail value.

I know they're not that useful in most cases, but they're also nice little things to display. Unlike the Skylanders stuff the Amiibos are usually official merchandise of some Iconic Nintendo and a few legendary 3rd party characters. If I don't get anymore I'm pretty satisfied. I have the Mario Bros. for the first gaming series I was into, Pikachu for when I was once a huge Pokemon fan plus before Sonic came into SSB, Pikachu was my #1 Main in SSB64 and Melee. And of course Sonic for a series that I've come to love on an equal level with Mario (And of course my #1 Main in both Brawl and Smash 4)
 
Mario Party 10's amiibo party mode is an insult to the fans of classic Mario Party. Because it's basically that, only with soulless statues moving around the board.
 
I hate how video game consoles are acting more like cheaper PCs than a video game console.

Also I do not consider DVD playback to be a deal-breaker.

I really don´t see a problem in increased functionality, as long the main objective (games) isn´t affected.

Increased functionality jacks up the price, that's why some of us are a bit miffed that the Xbox One and PS4 (to an extent Wii U) has a bunch of useless features that are already in your TV or computer
