      More like, if only they’d be PC friendly. I’m tired of consoles.

    Nintendo is dead to me after the ROM/emulator bullshit and their refusal to fix the Joycon drift issues. Steam Deck ftw!

      Yep. Fuck Nintendo. I don’t care how good their games might be, they’re not getting another dime from me for as long as they’re hostile to their community and customers.

    If Miyamoto is succeeded by someone with Gabe’s pro-consumer philosophy, Nintendo could dominate.

    Sony and Microsoft are too busy doing the private equity playbook.

      That’s unlikely since they’d still be Japanese most likely

      Nintendo’s especially strict content creator and fan game creator practices stem from Japanese Copyright law encouraging IP owners to be waaaaaaaay more aggressive about protecting them than in most other IP markets.

      Like I’m pretty sure the concept of fair use isn’t legally recognized in Japan.

    Cool, Nintendo, now stop hindering them with piss-weak hardware and pissing off fans with your anti-fan behaviour

    I mean, neither of those bother me anymore now that I exclusively pirate from you, but for other people

      they may make slow hardware but like every one of their consoles last forever. I think my n64 was like nokia level murder proof, i remember a buddy powerbombing his while we were playing wrestling and it didnt even hiccup.

    Don’t forget the lawyers. Where would Nintendo be in 2024 without those guys and gals?!
