Glad this is finally being discussed instead of fear of losing a potential sponsor. It is a mild annoyance because it's not so many publishers but imagine dozens did this. Others have taken the bundle route instead which is better optics.

I think greed has a firm grasp on these publishers.

Red Deer is a sad case to me. They publish some great games, but they fill the eShop up with the same game over and over again.

Really interesting side of the gaming business, that I'd never really thought about...

Here's the bottom line. A game that needs so many releases most likely is garbage and shouldn't be purchased in the first place. True DLC will be just that, a DLC for the base game, and perhaps a complete edition bundle once all are published. I do own a few games, Syndrome and Circa Infinity, but these two titles are good, in my opinion, compared to what is being released in recent memory. I, for one, am glad something is being said about some other publishers. In the end, it's Nintendo's responsibility to control what is offered on their store. As consumers, we just don't have to buy it.

You've hit the nail on the head as usual. Red Deer do seem to be the worst at this, but as you say Qubic also spew out the shovel wear phone games at a prodigious rate and then sponsor channels to tout their near permanent "sales".

Super Cyborg is really good! Your gameplay video on it helped me out with a level I was stuck on.

Yeah, it’s a shame that RedDeer is a developer that I only know from articles written about their AAA Clock series and DLC rehashing, which fills their eShop listing over their actual quality titles. It’s too bad because some of the titles looks promising if they weren’t pursuing this exploitative method.

On point & you read my mind. Sadly money has more currency than morals. Gamergate needs to be for consumer and worker rights. Quality > Quanty = Equality. I've been meditating on my consuerism whom I give power to even this platform. Net neutrality was the first big hit now targeted and spamming of ads and shallow content is the next. Going to stop here because I can go on a rant. Thank you, SwitchStar for making content that's right there with our (the mature consumers) mind set. More power to thee & Goodspeed***

Thanks for covering this! :)

Yeah all the re-releases just cheapens the eshop and makes it feel less than.

I forget what games i got and enjoyed esp for the price....but i did notice going off their name when it came to giving a game a try bit me in the arse a while back.....and after that i dont even bother anymore with them.

I have to admit I like some titles from Reddeer and Qubic but I wasn't aware of this dodgy over publishing. I thought you were mad making this video but after watching I totally agree with your findings. Nintendo need to start monitoring the Eshop. They have a responsibility to protect consumers. Thanks for the video Lukey baby.

well argued.

I'm very disappointed about that moves.

i actually noticed this a while ago and have actively avoided buying anything from these publishers. it's a shame because many of the games made by the individual developers look interesting, but using a publisher that won't play fair is a big turn-off.

Too… Many… EDITIONS!!!!!

Nintendo needs to clean out their store, otherwise parents will avoid the digital store and everyone will believe that the switch is nothing but a shovelware platform and that REALLY drags down your reputation as a console maker; hello Atari crash 🤔

Thank you for this video!! Somekne at Nintendo needs to see this!!
