I really don’t understand the anti Nintendo thing. They want money? So do all game companies. They sue people pirating? So do the others.
They are all corporations, none are your friends. The weirdest thing is the steam people who are convinced that THEIR corporation and THEIR billionaire Gabe is the only good billionaire on earth. He’s not.
It’s the way they go after fan projects like rom hacks, the way they continuously rerelease 30 year old gameswith minor tweaks for full price, their obsession with destroying emulators, the fact that all of their IP is exclusive to their console, their games rarely go on sale, and their prices are far too high considering their hardware is like 3 generations behind the curve.
Yeah. Valve’s 30% cut is greed. So is their (alleged) anticompetitive behavior of forcing price parity with other stores (aka devs can’t price things cheaper than Steam elsewhere).
I mean, I like their store. I like most of their behavior, but I am also waiting for the hammer to drop, and everyone should.
The force streamers and people who cover Nintendo to pay them, because word of mouth isn’t enough. They need money.
They have and continue to directly or aid in the effort to patten basic game mechanics.
They refuse to participate in cross play functionality often.
They kill fan projects because fuck you for liking our games and bringing more attention to them I guess.
They lock games away forever, not rereleasing and killing mods aggressively. Actively killing gaming history.
A company doesn’t have to be my friend. But when they are actively attacking people who express love for their product you eventually stop loving the product.
