I don't know why Nintendo feel the need to get so overly protective over displays of their games (streaming, competitions, so on). There's been so many games I have bought because I saw someone play it on a stream or something and thought it was neat. What are they even losing out on? They are just shooting themselves in the foot here.

The more I hear about nintendo fighting their fans the more this feels like an abusive relationship and I am only with nintendo for the drugs.
During a good sale Steam can sell you so much more ~~games~~ drugs. $80 a ~~game~~ hit are you kidding me? I have a Steam library full of hundreds of ~~games~~ drugs I've scored for pennies.
Donkey Kong was 90€ if I would have bought it from Nintendo directly
can Nintendo just stop sucking ass for one goddamn second
People keep buying their games no matter what, surprisingly.
Because the vast majority of people don't have any idea about Nintendo's litigious nature.
It's easy to assume that the general population has the same knowledge you do, but just by being on Lemmy you're likely way more informed than 99% of people.
I see this mindset in the IT world all the time.
unsurprisingly you mean. gamers are the least principled, and an even less disciplined customer base, barely ahead of hard drug addicts.
edit: the downvotes made me realize i was wrong. i take it back.
wait lol no i don't
Chill the fuck out Nintendo. Money hungry weirdos
Yo ho, yo ho...
