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

I'm surprised that Nintendo lets people share screenshots and videos, given how eager they are to issue takedown requests at random whenever any of their properties is shown on the internet for whatever reason

Perhaps they thought it would be an extra source of revenue to make it easy for kids to post shit online that Nintendo can sue them for. Maybe they disabled it because they realized that gamers aren't ready to accept that at this point so they'll circle back in a decade or so.
