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

One difference being that Twitter is not (technically) dead - Nintendo Is removing support for a service that continues to exist, presumably because they don't want to be associated with it.

Had nothing to do with association, unfortunately:

And it bears repeating that none of the console companies are willing to pay the $ 42,000 minimum of monthly access fee to Twitter’s API, when they used to use this functionality freely. Twitter is hard pressed to make a case for them to do so, especially given the platform’s own current fortunes

Thanks! Thank god Twitter is so dead set on killing itself it doesn't even need people or companies to make even the simplest moral decisions to leave it.
