Parsec? It has virtual monitors.

I watched a youtuber that was using this, and the cost to print something was pretty high. Like a 2 inch by 2 inch tile with a little depth was like $2 USD for the ink/resin alone. A larger board that looked like it was about 1 ft by 2 ft, with a single layer of print (no depth), was about $25, IIRC.
It's beautiful, but so expensive to run, IMO.
Those "former marketing leads" are former for a reason then, I guess. There's absolutely no way that Nintendo is going to "eat the cost" on this.
For one thing, the Chinese tariffs are more than 100%. They are certainly not going to pay to ship their console.
But they've been pretty clear in the past that they aren't about "loss leaders" and will charge what the console is worth.
I'm not sure who needs this advice. The game was designed to be played without it, so that's good.
People that need the feature will use it, of course. For whatever reason.
Everyone else has a choice: Mindless running through the wilds to get where you're going, sometimes seeing something interesting on the way... Or just letting this thing get you there, without the "follow the white line" minigame.
The people who are going to use this were already using in-game features to do it as much as possible, but with a manual component that irked them. Asking them not to use it isn't going to improve their game experience.
Anyone who roams without the white line isn't even in this discussion. They would never use this feature, so the advice doesn't change their mind at all.
I've played Genshin almost since the start (took a break for a while) and it's had daily tasks the whole time. You earn gems and other in-game rewards every day for it. There's also an additional web-based daily checkin as well.
