Most anticonsumer, anticompetition developer on the market

Really? Even more than those gacha / loot boxes heavy gaming-as-a-service companies?

What an ironic point to make with 0 context.

Nintendo is the original gacha / lootbox developer. You must not remember their original big money maker was selling randomized packs of collectible cards to children, a practice they are still perfecting to this day.

Nintendo has 10x the market share of any other gacha game too, so even if others are more exploitative, they aren't causing as much overall damage due to market share.
