    You missed the part “and didn’t become wicked greedy”. Nintendo is way shittier than any other gaming related company I know.

      I guess they might be wicked greedy. Far from the worst gaming related company I know though. I mean just off the top of my head, I’m still a bit bitter about “Overwatch 2”. Paywalling heroes and calling it fair. Terrible battle pass. And the whole bait and switch with Modern Warfare 2. Promise a two year call of duty then rug pull after they made their sales. And the buggy messes that all those games come wrapped up in. Plus the whole sexual harassment lawsuits, but that’s a whole separate matter.

      Maybe I don’t play enough Nintendo, but every time I’ve picked up one of their games, I don’t feel any pressure to spend extra on any microtransactions or pay more to get ahead of other people. I mean, I’m sure there are examples, but looking at other companies I’d say they’re decent by comparison.

        I don’t play multiplayer games, so I missed the cases you mentioned.

        And yeah, Nintendo isn’t shitty in that sense, they’re more like “we’ll happily ruin your life whenever we feel like there’s a copyright infringement”.

          Oh ya, I feel that. I casually follow the smash bros scene (mostly ultimate) and sometimes Nintendo confuses me from how hard they try to shut that stuff down. Going after Project M, maybe Slippy, melee, tournaments in general.
