Oh what a return for the widespread disgust. No such thing as bad PR right guys? lol
No such thing as bad pr when your company has millions of brainwashed fans who have literally never played any other games.
I know a lot of people including me that haven't bought a switch 2 after owning every nintendo console released in their lifetime because they're disgusted with with Nintendo's behavior. I'm sure some percentage of them will cave eventually but it's definitely a non-zero amount of money they've left on the table by being like this
Hey that's me and my pokemon/Zelda/monster hunter stories obsessed daughter! Fuck you Nintendo, you used to be cool. Well...you used to pretend to be cool. Well...we used to buy your games and not think too hard.

I'm in the same boat.
You're already not considered the average consumer by using lemmy
I haven’t owned every Nintendo console, just Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Super Nintendo, Game Boy Advance, N64, Wii, New Nintendo 3DS, and Switch. But yeah, all the shit they’ve done recently means I’ll never buy a Switch 2, or whatever comes after it.
This right here 1000%. Nintendo used to get a lot of my money. Not anymore, screw em.
That's okay. Youtubers still buy the new Nintendo games and consoles day fucking one all in the name of "cOnTeNt". (RTGame, Poofesure, and others)
So basically good fucking luck trying to get anyone to change when you have people advertising for Nintendo basically for free.
Oh no like 1000 people buy them
Or we can watch those YouTubers to still partake in Nintendo games while not buying anything.
I watch maybe 5 minutes of any of those Nintendo game videos because after those 5 minutes it becomes incredibly stale and boring looking at the same bright colors and round shapes all the goddamn time.
Also the fact that almost all Nintendo games amount to what is essentially a fancy arcade game with not a lot of depth to them.
