I used to love them. Really I did. Under iwata the company was truly something special for a while. But as with all companies, the fall from grace has been hard. I don't know a single person with a good opinion of Nintendo anymore. Even a surprising amount of irl people who are not in the know about a lot of piracy and modding stuff seem to at least know enough from recent events that Nintendo are beyond irreparably evil.
Nintendo: great games, terrible company. So yeah, I play their shit, but I don't give them any money.
I know a person who still unironically defends Nintendo and thinks they're in the right doing what they do. I consider them a lost cause. 🤷
I never understand somebody just simping for a corporation like that. You can be a fan of their stuff and dislike how they run the company. Being a Mario or Zelda fan doesn't mean you have to stick up for terrible decisions made by suits.
It's consistent if they depend on copyright law to make money.
