Anyone still buying Nintendo products at this point isn't paying attention.
I see Nintendo emulation / mod chipping / console hacking I support it. Toxic company deserves a return in kind for its abuse of its fanbase.
At this point, I guess they are either ignorant, unethical, or they are just lying to themselves because they can't resist the temptation to play their games.
Look I don't fault developers for kissing the ring. I know and have spoken with multiple devs at different Nintendo affiliated companies and they don't enjoy it either but it lets them make the games they love for the people that they want to entertain.
I can't say I support hating a full group of people because that's not great either. "... except for the Amish but it'll never get back to them" - John Pinette
In my case, I don't hate them. I respect those devs, people have to put food on their tables somehow, and this way isn't one of the worst... I just believe that by doing so, we are helping to perpetuate vicious corporativism.
Nintendo isn't just the nestle of companies to users... they are the same or worse to their own.
I've seen people lose teams over errant comments about a novel idea for the IP they would love to see happen, or maybe even be developing as a passion project, purged for the notion that they were anything more than drones.
It's a disgusting work culture taking advantage of bright eyed developers that grew up with fond memories of the brand. I genuinely love some of the IP and worlds made by the developers - but I will never, ever, spend a fucking penny on that company until it is changed.
I‘ll still buy their controller because you can‘t sue Chinese companies either so what‘s the difference? However I‘ll use it for PC gaming. No way I‘m going back to their ecosystem. Those days are gone.
Anyone still buying anything they can get for free at this point isn't paying attention.
