    Now that Nintendo greed is fully out in the open I hope a lot of their fans leave. The relationship should be symbiotic, not parasitic.

    Nintendo being anti-consumer is no surprise, but it’s nice to see someone tried to hold them to account.

    So glad I personally didn’t buy a Switch 2.

      They want to eat their cake, and have it to. Will capitalism benefit the capitalists like it does 99.99% of the time? You bet your sweet ass it will!

      99.99% of the time, it works every time!

      Likewise. The Switch 2 is a very nice handheld, but it doesn’t hold a candle to having a never-locked-down x86 PC in your hands.

      the only console outside of my Steam Deck that i still occasionally use is my old Nintendo DS, because of it’s small form factor and my seemingly undying M3 card lol

    I never played more Nintendo games in a year and I didn‘t pay for a single one!

    The alternative being… not paying and still getting it, Nintendo??

    Or would you rather no one buy or play games from you? I stopped a long time ago.

      Nintendo had long since realized that their customers are kids who see Pokemon and Mario and scream at their parents until they buy it for them. They can charge whatever they whatever they want and those kids will still bug their parents until they get it.

      Everyone else that buys their products is just a bonus if they still keep buying even after the prices get jacked up. Nintendo made their decision about who to prioritize, and the only boycott that would work to turn things around would have to be orchestrated by all the parents of all the 6 year olds in the world, and I doubt that’ll happen.

    just my 2 cents: Nintendo did not raised the tariffs… and they neither profited on them…
