I read everywhere only big studios and not even all of them are getting devkits. Just forget it if you are an indie dev and your studio is not Team Cherry.
What the fuck are they waiting for?

The Switch eShop was full of garbage because of gaijin with no taste or sense of restraint and they want to limit that now

The switch 2 is backwards compatible you fucking idiot. Whatโ€™s to stop people from making slop and just keep releasing it since Nintendo is too cheap for quality control?

Who cares? Open the doors to the slop, and let the audience decide.

indie devs just pump out slop that will make the system look bad
it's better nintendo builds up a strong library of 1st party and major 3rd party content first before letting the average indie shit all over the eshop

Nintendo is market leader and makes way more money than Sony does, they make so much money with first party so it doesn't matter if they hold devkits back a bit. It's probably also a trust thing. But the direct haven't happened yet so we don't even know right now which companies got devkits

or they could only allow decent projects to get a devkit and blacklist all pajeets, coomers and asset flippers if they even dare to ask for a devkit

Unironically you can probably blame CH for it with their attempt at backstabbing.
They likely would have sold the devkit on the black market had they gotten one.

Supposedly it was because they wanted to have as much units as they could for launch, so most would-be devkits were for the consumer. If so thereโ€™s good intention there, but if picrel is anything to go by it may backfire

Compile heart. That anon is deranged and assblasted, trying to scapegoat a dev whose games Nintendo has been banning and censoring, trying to pin the blame on them for anything and everything now apparently.

if other studios don't get devkits soon they won't bother
