It sure as fuck was. Half of the Nintendo community knows about this situation, and unless for some reason they still have respect for this evil company, they will now freely play whatever switch games they want without giving Nintendo a dime.

I'm sure most Nintendo "fans" aren't a fan of the company itself, just the games

I think you underestimate the level of fanatism of many of those fellas, they would give Nintendo their first born if they had one.

I think you over estimate it. I have loved Nintendo games since I was five, but absolutely fuck the company for doing shit like this.

Yeah it doesn’t take a genius to hate Nintendo for simple things like artificially limiting amibos stock to make more money

It genuinely surprises me the amount of diehard nintendo fans who will defend the corporation's heinous acts tooth and nail that there are. They make good games, and they were my childhood, therefore their wrongs are excusable (or not wrongs at all)!

I think being a fan of any company is weird. I mean products, sure, there are good ones, some are definitely works of art. But companies?

Yup. I like their games and hate their business practices. Also been pirating their games since the 90s.
