Nintendo’s been comparatively more evil than most other companies for a long while now.

Most other major game publishing companies are lumbering goliaths that destroy good things because they’re out of touch and apathetic about the customer as long as they get their money. They waste huge swaths of money on live service garbage because they’re like obese stupid short sighted gambling addicts.

Nintendo is like a vindictive sociopathic crime syndicate that punishes its enemies for little actual gain because its already sitting on a throne of money and a steady stream of fanatics that will always buy their shit. Nintendo wants you to understand who is boss and to know your place. Nintendo will cut you.

Nintendo is still stuck in the 80s (or more accurately, what Japanese call the Showa era due to it being heavily conservative), especially for its heavy-handed proprietary business practices where they use buildings full of lawyers to protect its intellectual properties as sacred objects. They’ll have little to lose because they weaponized nostalgia to keep a lot of fans and mostly casuals paying for their products, even as they crush some fanworks as inimical to their profits.

software patents are bullshit

There go my dreams of making Dog Fight Simulator 2029.

Michael Vick better start sweating.

Fuck Nintendo.
