I get that corporations are all ultimately after your money and nothing else, but I’m curious why Nintendo is on here. As far as game companies, the only thing I really see from them that’s kind of ass is their hyperprotectiveness of their own IPs. It sucks, but I don’t need a battlepass to get the full experience of the next Mario game. Zelda doesn’t require an always online connection. Metroid Prime 4 is actually gonna be finished on release instead of just shipping it in a terrible state
I mean, that’s fair, and super fucked up. I have a lot of issues with that, including the cultural ramifications
Still, it seems a different caliber to being actively hostile to players in the game design department. Nintendo games aren’t the ones using psychological manipulation to give me a gambling addiction
That’s fair, though. It’s hella fucked up, and I’ve been wary of Nintendo’s approach to this stuff since way back when AM2R was coming out

Nintendo has the worst price policy out of all publishers. Their games never drop in pricing
Nintendo is too litigous, and just successfully sued a switch emulator out of existence.

They’ve also stolen code from emulators (who I think they also sued).
