So X is shorthand for Nazi right?

Heck - even the letter is just a sans sarif Swastika.

I'm not a gamer or a xitterhead but what would these consoles do with xitter integration.

For uploading game clips I'd assume

For Nintendo, it was the only way to upload your screenshots to the internet if you don't have a PC or phone with an SD slot. The other consoles have other integration you could use for images (and they all have YouTube for video) so this kinda sucks for Switch owners that have literally no other way of getting their screenshots online.

Now if only Hello Games would drop it too.

And 1000 or so other developers.

Are they going to integrate mastodon instead?

They'll make their own fediverse. With blackjack. And hookers.

Nintendo: 🙋‍♂️

Fine, Nintendo, you don't have to have the hookers.

Nintendo: 🙋‍♂️

No, you cannot dress Pikachu up as a prostitute.

Miyamoto: 🙋‍♂️

You can do whatever you want.

They all have ways to send screenshots to the mobile apps if I’m not mistaken and with Twitter jacking up API prices since Elon took over, it makes perfect sense just to discontinue support

I would be interested to know how much of Twitter's use was from these integrations. This could be an absolute drop in the bucket.

I used this exclusively to get screenshots off my switch easily. Still very happy about bigger companies cutting ties with the muskrat.

They should add Mastodon integration instead.

[-] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 9 points 3 months ago

No one will make money from that, so they're not going to do it.
