I am pretty darn sure that this subscription service is going to integrate into the Nintendo switch version of the game somehow so I wouldn't be too angry about this considering most Animal Crossing fans are playing it because of the social immersion that is much deeper than miitopia or Fantasy Life or even miitomo. The warehouse part really make sense for the Nintendo switch integration. And the free housekeeping is actually not too bad of a thing if the subscription is relatively cheap because not many people have time to play these games on their phone so paying a small fee to have someone collect fruit for you or whatever the game involves after the very beginning isn't too bad. I think the real problem with Animal Crossing is that a lot of people assume that it's a kids game but it was never geared towards kids at all. Most of the jokes are adult humor or even lowbrow humor. And I'm pretty sure the demographic who plays this game is either young adult women or hipster men and both demographics have a lot of money to spend as seen with avocado toast and the boom of Starbucks coffee pictures on the internet. So I think it's absurd to say that this game jump the shark when the truth is it is adding value to its targeted demographic. The same goes for Pokemon with their new Pokemon Bank equivalent, everyone knows that the person who cares about the old Pokemon are only the old people who remember those Pokemon. So what I'm getting at is everyone needs to stop whining and understand that Nintendo is going to Target whatever audience they believe their products are for and if you happen to not fit that Target that doesn't mean Nintendo failed at selling a game, it instead means that you are a niche gamer that Nintendo can't focus on because you are unpredictable based on the data.
