Imagine there being a website so popular that game console manufacturers put a dedicated button on their controllers to take and post screenshots and then you fuck the website up so much that they disable it

) Nintendo of America @NintendoAmerica · May 9:

As of June 10, 2024, it will no longer be possible to post screenshots and videos to X (formerly Twitter) from the Nintendo Switch's Album, or send friend requests to social media users via the Friend Suggestions feature. Find out more: ninten.do/6010YVr2a

TBF, if it was because the site was so fucked up they would have left a while ago. No, it is because of Twitter attempting to extort even more money for API use. Playstation and XBox are also removing it.

There are no morals in these gigantic corporations, just ledger sheets.

The extortion for API use is how they are fucking it up, from the console manufacturer's perspective.

Isn't that the same thing Reddit did to kill third-party apps?

Except Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft were already paying Twitter crazy money for the API to begin with. Musk could have kept his mouth shut and kept that money but being a greedy asshole apparently matters when your trying to extort more money out of other greedy assholes
