    Nintendo are the biggest cunts. Possibly the worst video game company. They consistently take the route of evil scumbag, even when that would take more effort and waste more money than just doing nothing.

    How can I make Nintendo lose money? I don’t want to play any of their games.

      Stop playing triple A games all together. They are all shitty companies who mistreat their employees.

        Well that’s pretty easy to do. Most games I play are indy games or from smaller studios. They are objectively better anyway.

          Are there even any worthwhile games on it? I mean other than Nostalgiabait Racer #328.

          I don’t think there’s a lot that could’ve prevented most of the current Switch 2 users from buying it. It’s pure zealotry. There was an argument for Switch 1 since it was the only “big” handheld console at the time, but the Steam Deck threw open the market for better, more versatile, more powerful handhelds.

            Probably not, but I have kids and even though they’re very understanding I’d still like to provide if alternatives allow.

      Possibly the worst video game company.

      microsoft aids israel’s genocide and ubisoft management protected serial sexual abusers…

        I can only assume that people who think Nintendo are somehow worse than the likes of Sony and Microsoft have never looked at a single thing those companies have done that isn’t directly related to video games

          i think it’s a combination of two things:

          1. these people had an emotional attachment to nintendo and it’s games growing up, or knew someone who did, so thought very highly of it. when faced with the reality that nintendo is just like any other corporation, aka they only care about their profits and nothing else and will act accordingly, the fall from heaven was brutal.
          2. the main targets of nintendo’s shittiness are its own customers and fans. microsoft may be helping mass murder of people in Palestine, ubisoft may have protected the sexual abuse of their employees by management, rockstar may do union busting… but gamers are none of these people. gamers are “consumers”, and highly lacking in empathy. so, in their eyes, nothing is worse than being “anti-consumer”. like, ask any gamer if they like ubisoft and, if not, why. they won’t talk about the sexual abuse, or crunch… they’ll talk about bad overpriced games and microtransactions.

            Let’s hope it encourages a few people to think a bit more critically about other companies too, even if some others don’t get beyond “this directly affects me”

      I get banned if I suggest the appropriate uprooting answer.
      Too many cowards in the internet
