In another bullshit move by Nintendo this time around.

    using last-gen hardware in their consoles

    I mean there’s nothing inherently wrong with that (if only they charged last-gen prices as well lol)

    but anyways here’s a bunch more shit they’ve done:

    • charging full price for basic rereleases
    • removing reviews from the switch eshop
    • killing emulation projects
    • patenting basic gameplay elements
    • sued a man so hard he was forced to pay them part of his income for the rest of his life

    and for a few older ones, just to show that they’ve been shitty this whole time, actually:

    • attempting to kill game cheating devices (like the game genie)
    • attempting to kill video game rentals
    • preventing 3rd parties from releasing games on competitor’s consoles, essentially giving themselves a monopoly

    (also they’re partly owned by the saudi government, so, there’s that)

    (and pls remember that, despite all of their shit, nintendo is far from the worst. it’s a systemic problem, not an individualist one. remember that ubisoft covered up sexual assault for years and that microsoft is literally engaging in genocide. the problem is that capitalism lets these companies get away with it.)

      I wouldn’t go as far a stating that it’s mainly a systemic problem. Individual choices also matter to some degree.
