EA has suddenly and permanently changed the prices for Command and Conquer (decreased prices, close to historic lows) (www.pcgamesn.com)

Old meme, EA hasn't been half-bad for years. Ubisoft, ActiBlizz and Nintendo are the current worst.

I get that corporations are all ultimately after your money and nothing else, but I'm curious why Nintendo is on here. As far as game companies, the only thing I really see from them that's kind of ass is their hyperprotectiveness of their own IPs. It sucks, but I don't need a battlepass to get the full experience of the next Mario game. Zelda doesn't require an always online connection. Metroid Prime 4 is actually gonna be finished on release instead of just shipping it in a terrible state

Nintendo is too litigous, and just successfully sued a switch emulator out of existence.

I mean, that's fair, and super fucked up. I have a lot of issues with that, including the cultural ramifications

Still, it seems a different caliber to being actively hostile to players in the game design department. Nintendo games aren't the ones using psychological manipulation to give me a gambling addiction

That's fair, though. It's hella fucked up, and I've been wary of Nintendo's approach to this stuff since way back when AM2R was coming out
