Other big companies offer bigger free upgrades for years without demanding more money from who already bought game (Minecraft says hi), indie developers have less sources of revenue and lots of them still offer updates for longer than even a console life cycle - and neither are tying the updates to buying a brand new console.
Someone giving something away for free doesn’t mean other have to. Different companies can think what’s best for them independently. They don’t owe us anything because we live in capitalism.
That’s fine, avoiding things you dislike is very healthy. I question the actual dislike with the number of people pirating Nintendo stuff though. Not liking business decisions of a luxury toy maker doesn’t really give anyone right to just take it without asking.

It’s exactly because we live in capitalism that, as consumers, we need to punish greedy behaviour.
