    Is that the button that does online shit?

    If they’re charging for online shit then the button that does online shit is t gonna work unless you paid to have online shit.

    I don’t think online shit should be $40 a month like psn is but having a button that does online shit require that you have the online shit subscription to work is a nothingburger.

      No it’s not. It’s a baked-in way to manipulate people into paying for their stupid online. Its mere presence is vile. Easily could have been put inside the home button’s menu/UI.

      I’m also imagining accidentally hitting it with my palm and getting really annoyed at it pausing my game.

      other consoles have done kinda similar shit with “social” features but this is such a blatant way to trick some kid into setting up a subscription service with their dad’s credit card coz they tried closing mariokart and opened up the store page instead
