While suing nonprofit fan projects and streamers into oblivion, ignoring hardware defects, and keeping their game prices artificially high, unavailable, or both. Man, they make it difficult to be a fan...

I'll bite, what hardware defects are they ignoring? Surely you can't mean the drifting, because they replace them for free.

Also doubting about nonprofit fan projects. Usually Nintendo leaves them alone until these fans start earning money with it.

As for the prices, yeah, I agree.

Yeah, after literal years of pretending it wasn't a thing, they'll quietly fix it. Did they solve the underlying problem? I didn't think they did...

In 2020 they acknowledged and apologised, but yeah, that was 3 years after launch.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 2 weeks ago

They apologized? I honestly don't remember that. Good, that was overdue.

Good. Now let us emulate and mod your damned games in peace.
