I left a comment the other day about me loathing Nintendo nowadays and got downvoted. Well this is the kind of BS they pull that makes me hate them.

Suing people, getting fair use material removed from YouTube, fighting emulators and people who created them, charging ridiculous prices for old games... I'm pretty sure they are the bad guy.






They're one of those lifestyle brands, like Disney, which people feel personally connected to and personally attacked if you attack it.

Cool platform and fun games though. I'll keep buying their stuff forever and I think a lot of other people will too.

Yeah, for some reason, I still root for them (not necessarily in silly cases like these, just when it comes to being a successful video game company).

I have way too many fond memories dating back to NES, plus they still continue to make great games.

It’s hard for me to be mad at them.
