People need to stop supporting Nintendo at all. They're lawsuit happy assholes who have been doing everything they can to piss away any good will they might have had. They're the only game company out there who refuses to make enough of many of their products, like their mini NES and SNES, to meet demand because then its "exclusive", they are the only company trying to destroy all type of emulation for Nintendo consoles, and they're the only company who seems to actually want their older games to disappear into the ether. Edit: Oh and they fucking refuse to put their games on sale or lower their prices years afterwards. BoTW is still 60 bucks even though it's 7 and a half years old. Fucking insane.
Fuck Nintendo.
Only emulation used by others. They're happy to kang all' the ROMs and emulators off' a site before destroying it for everyone else, then not even sell most of the damn things. Absurd. There's nothing good about that, not even for Nintendo themselves.
If this kind of thing bothers you, you need to stop gaming altogether. All consoles and developers.
Absolutely not true. All the console creators, sure, but not all developers. There are so many good developers, especially indie.
There's issues with purchasing anything in capitalism. We have to deal with that as long as that's the case though. It doesn't mean Nestlé isn't significantly worse than other campanies though, for example. There are different degrees of bad, and Nintendo is basically the top for gaming.
Have you been lobotomized or do you just work for Nintendo?
The rabid insanity towards such a non offensive post... You ok guy?
He’s just a generally shitty person in every thread he goes into.
It's so surprising from an account named nuke the whales
I first read it like a sonic character name and thought wtf you were saying. Its less cool now.
Not sure why you got downvoted, you're absolutely right. While Nintendo is prolific in this subject, they're far from unique.
There are many developers (indie, AA and even AAA) who don't engage in this BS. They focus on ... wait for it ... making good fun games that sell well!
Imagine that!
Far from unique is irrelevant.
How many of those developers are also hardware manufacturers, though? Because that's what we're talking about.
The Big Three all do this.
From the relevant thread comment:
Valve to my knowledge doesn't engage in patent trolling and so it's not all hardware manufacturers.
And even with Sony and Microsoft? Do they engage in bottom of the barrel patent trolling? If anything MS has definitely been on the receiving end of patent trolls. Do they go after people who stream/make video content with their games?
Don't get me wrong, I am not defending Sony or Microsoft. But it's a bit strange to engage in volunteer PR for a company just because you're a fan of the Mario series (not saying this applies to you, but this is not an unreasonable statement with respect to Nintendo fans in general).
