It's actually insanely based that people are playing Ocarina of Time for free 2 days after launch. It's Nintendo, they don't need the money

They don't need the money, but they certainly deserve it

By definition they do not. Some poor family out there NEEDS money, as in money to live, and Nintendo does not. If a kid in that family decides to play Zelda for free, Nintendo does not suddenly deserve claim over that family's money, because Nintendo doesn't need it and that family does.

Money is a tool to exchange one commodity for another and not some divine arbiter of goodness, where the more you have the more good you are. To say some corporation deserves money when they have all the money they could ever use is so ridiculous to me. "Yes, we have made hundreds of millions, but poor little old us deserved billions!"
