I don't understand how the world seems full of Nintendo apologists. Not in this discussion, I mean across the greater web. They seem to get churned out of the same factory that produces the Apple apologists.
I'm not sure I've ever seen someone who's an apologist for Nintendo's constant C&D requests.
If you're talking about their games, then... yeah I mean they're basically the only AAA studio that's put out pretty reliably high quality games for the past 30-40 years. People want to play fun games and Nintendo provides them.
Just like how people like Apple because they make good computers, phones, etc. We don't all make our tech purchases based on protesting the company's usage of US legal system.
They're not usually here, but they're on so many other websites. Often parroting the "emulators are illegal" nonsense Nintendo puts out. Whenever Nintendo hits the news, the fanboys seem to be all the comment sections.
Same people as the Valve fanboys. If you like something you'll blind yourself to the red flags. It's practically human nature.
See here how people are upset that Valve more or less didn't pick a fight over this for what would 100% be a moral/ethical debate. Meanwhile we see how Epic tried this 5 years ago and they became the internet's worst enemy. All a matter of PR.
Apple and Nintendo "apologists" are cut from the same cloth: they're people who understand how business works and reject notions of having one's cake and eating it too. Personally I hope we get more of these people in the future.
