Well, I guess this cinches it - I'm never buying another Nintendo product.

I was already on the fence, as I still wanted to support innocent developers who happen to be part of a shitty company. I even bought a Switch and every game I pirated so I could have a clean conscience when playing them on my Steam Deck.

Not anymore! I'm putting Nintendo squarely in my list of publishers to ignore. It's a small gesture, meaningless to a megacorp like them, but it's enough for me.

Fuck you, Nintendo. You used to be cool.

Fuck you, Nintendo. You used to be cool.

Nintendo have always been like this, even as far back as the NES days. They were super protective over who was allowed to make and sell cartridges, and repeatedly filed lawsuits against companies making unlicensed carts.

They’ve always been ultra-protective over their IP and hardware, and will happily sue fan projects and emulation into oblivion any chance they get.
