This is a bad REALLY take IMO. I’m mad at GF/TPC too, but they’re nowhere near as bad as EA or Blizzard

ILCA may be in charge of home but GF/Nintendo project manage the brand. They are the ones who take the top decisions on what happens when. The bit I can’t get my head around is the “early 2023” for home connectivity, releasing a date, then backtracking on it.
S/V thematically and in terms of the gameplay before the postgame are one of the best Pokemon titles we’ve had. But issues graphically, bugs, and the tera raids being generally dreadful have really hampered the fun we normally all have with these games.
I played Pokemon Red this last week. It’s an original Japanese copy I bought. The original game still holds up beautifully even in a different language!
I couldn’t help but think a simpler time when Pokemon was for the portable console and the main console encompassed the stadium battling still feels overall more meaningful than the postgame of recent games.
I wouldn't mind the delay for Pokemon home if it wasn't also functioning as the GTS (global trade station). A function that was at one point standard in games (while it wasn't perfect it did generally work) . Sure there are ways around it to trade in-game but personally I prefer to be able to just offer up a specific Pokemon for another Pokemon without having to interact.

I'd like to also add that instead of adapting to the gambling laws of the Netherlands in regards to the EA lootboxes, they have chosen to sue the government of the Netherlands in an act of strongarming them to legalize lootboxes. This is a SLAPP suit: one that isn't designed to win, but to drag for years and years and drain the other side of money. In the meantime, per Dutch law, their lootboxes will continue to be allowed until the lawsuit ends. In other words, EA is willing to crash the economy of a developed nation to sell their lootboxes.
No other company in any industry does this, not even Disney, who is notorious for manipulating laws via lobbying. (And these lootboxes had put Disney onto bad terms with EA.) The only other organization to practice lawfare on this scale is a certain religion founded by a science fiction novelist, and they do so only to individuals and small groups, not to an entire country's government.

okay here's how we can get the game corner back
Jokes aside I knew EA did some very anti consumer stuff but I never knew it got to the point where they sued an entire government over lootboxes, yeah I get being mad at the fact that they got the wrong date but in no way is that comparable to EA or Blizzard

I agree. People make mistakes and the mixup with Home isn’t worth getting so mad that you compare GF/TPC with a developer that has bought several studios that made successful games and then shut down said studios and canceling all games that they were working on. And SV was the first time GF worked on an open world game of this size. I know Legends Arceus is technically the first open world game in the series but its world map is smaller and has a lot less to generate on screen.

Well,
1. Game Freak and The Pokémon Company are two separate companies, ran by two separate groups of people. While Game Freak owns TPC, they do not operate it.
2. Game Freak's only real crime is not taking enough time to develop its projects. That doesn't necessarily make them a bad company, especially if fans still enjoy the games.
3. Electronic Arts. The answer is Electronic Arts.
HOME connectivity was never stated to be in "Early 2023". That was being able to view the battle ranking for SV, which we did get. HOME connectivity has always been Spring 2023, of which we still have ~30 days.

Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet will be able to connect to Pokémon HOME in 2023.
This update to Pokémon HOME’s Battle Data feature—slated for early 2023—will let you check out handy battle data and enjoy Pokémon battles in these titles even more.
Compatibility between Pokémon Scarlet, Pokémon Violet, and Pokémon HOME is slated for spring 2023.

I know the difference between spring 2023 and early 2023. The Nintendo advertising on this has been pretty explicit despite being somewhat vague (!!!)
Fact is, summer is next week. Spring is nearing a distant memory.
I’m not so annoyed about the home connectivity as I am about the events this weekend. It’s sad I know, but despite disliking the Tera raids I have enjoyed catching the different strong ‘mons that come with them. Getting online with people and battling is more fun than always solo’ing it.

Worse things have happened than TPC getting a date mixed up. In fact, nothing has been worse than Dexit.
If we can get passed that, we can get passed anything.
Technically, summer starts June 21, at the start of the Solstice.
"Early 2023" can be anywhere between now and the third week of June.
Yeah, this is one of my more hated business calendar lingo.
The vagueness of "Early" is annoying enough as it's left to individual determination, like if you are supposed to arrive somewhere by 8 pm and get there exactly at 7:59:59 pm you are still technically early. Same with ordering an early copy. You can wait until the last possible second to get the item and still be considered early so long as you finalize the second before it ends.
While I tend to agree that June 20th would not be "early", it still qualifies through technicality of semantics of the definition.

Mid or late 2023 in this case.
