Yeah I gave up on them for the multiple DMCA and copyright bullshit they keep pulling. I'm not really a console guy, but my friend gave me a Switch 1, and that was wonderful at a time I was in the hospital. But ever since then they've just become another rentier trading in their games, but attacking users and fans over and over. Screw em. I wish more people understood and felt like that, but most people don't care about the politics. They just want another Mario game for their kids.

The sad part is I would gladly fork over money, the new Zelda looks really nice, but, I'm not that desperate. I'll pay for another yacht for Gabe over Nintendo these days.

It’s funny that in gaming circles, the sentiment is the exact opposite: in the time of live service games, microtransactions, pay-to win schemes, premium currencies, gacha games is Nintendo taken to be one of the last big gaming companies that will sell you a complete, single player, physical game made as a labor of love for the craft.

wdym ever since

this is like their entire business model since they started selling console games
