There are very few companies that are able to reach my only if used or stolen classification. Nintendo has managed to reach the not even if used or stolen classification.
Yeah, I have Nestle marked as "die before using their products".
And that's why I quit buying and playing their shit. They're so shitty they don't deserve my money. 🖕
I dream of one day Nintendo going bankrupt and being forced to sell their IPs to the highest bidder.
Which to Nintendo, wouldn't matter a bit.
The assholes managing these megacorps are in it for the buck. When they squeeze the final scraps of profit, they go do it somewhere else, having padded their bank accounts and their resume with tales of how they are able to extract maximum returns...
Honestly, I think we are entering an era where via a prompt you will be able to ask AI to make you any experience, show, game, book, VR, song etc etc. I say this as someone who is a VR developer and knows my days are numbered. So are Nintendo’s.
And this Nintendo is why people pirate your shit... cause you're a shit company.
I was recently thinking about buying a Switch since I wanted to play a couple Nintendo games, but after this most recent bit of bullshit they're pulling, in conjunction to all their other bullying, im not buying another Nintendo product again. Why would I support this shit company.
Emulator on Steamdeck is unironically the best way to play Switch games. I say this as the owner of multiple Switches.
Buy a SteamDeck and emulate instead lmao
I skipped the new Zelda for this kind of shit.
I have owned every title since the late 80s, purchased limited edition games when possible, limited consoles, etc.
I’m done.
It bums me out. This wasn’t hurting Nintendo. It isn’t like someone will load up Garry’s Mod and decide, “well, gee wiz, I guess I don’t ever have to buy a Nintendo title again!” It wasn’t hurting them at all.
This move right here has cemented it for me. I am done with Nintendo. I have purchased every console they’ve ever made in my lifetime, stating when my parents got me the NES. I won’t be buying any more. I’ll find something else for my children to grow up with and later be nostalgic about.
Just get a Steam Deck, install EmuDeck, and run Ryujinx or Yuzu. It runs like a dream on the SD. Like it literally runs better than the actual Switch, with options like unlocked frame rates, mods, and cheats.
I say this as someone who owns two Switches: Just get a Steam Deck instead.
Question for those that do: do you also pirate indie games? I am also inclined to just pirate Nintendo games as I already do on my 2DS, but I'd kinda feel bad about not giving money to actually good developers like Supergiant Games
Edit: Not sure about the downvotes. I'm asking a genuine question

It's Nintendo. I'm not shocked it happened... just that it took this long. Its fairly common hear about some fangame or mod via gaming news, and then two weeks later see the headline, "Legend of Mariotroid has been DMCA'd"
Nintendo isnt a company at this point it's a mafia of below average games.
Nintendo really doesn't know how the Internet works, do they?
I've just assumed they don't care. They've done scummy shit for years, and it doesn't really matter because they'll still sell massive amounts of their first-party titles. So any bad faith they garner with a subset of their audience or old fans is just dust in the wind since it won't ultimately impact sales.

They keep doing shit that makes me want to mod my switch.
You should do it anyways
I haven't touched mine since I got a Steam Deck, so much better!
I haven't played on my Switch or really touched in in a few months now, since around the Yuzu news. I'm too disgusted by them to want to do it, and shortly before that, I had decided to mod it and not buy their games again. Now I'm 100% certain I'm going to do that. If I really want to give money to some indie game I like, I'll buy it on Steam.
Wow, Garry is a real person?
God that makes me feel old. Yeah, Garry's Mod is literally named that because it's his mod. He started making it as a teen, released it for free for a long time, and then leveraged it into a job and company (FacePunch, they also made Rust a lot later).
I think Garry's Mod 10 was the first paid release, and he and his team have just been updating the paid version since.
The game's official site used to just be his blog, and I believe he still posts semi-regularly about game development, running a company, and life stuff. Always seemed to be a real stand up guy.

Man, did they recently hire a bunch of Disney lawyers or what?
They've always been like this, just ask an emulator developer
Or fan game developer. Or data miner. Or gaming youtuber. Or game tournament staff. Or the former actors of their various official "news" video segments. Or former American contractors for them (lots of "fun" stories from the 90's and 00's).
And how can we forget? Their 11th hour backstabbing of Sony on the planned CD addon for the SNES, choosing instead to go with Phillips to make the CD-i, is the whole reason Sony even entered the console wars. Out of fucking spite. The Playstation was originally planned to be a SNES addon like the Sega CD.
So I guess that's one upside to their shittyness.
This. Look at their recent move against the Smash Bros tournament scene.
Look at their love/hate relationship with Splatoon and how their lies and abuse have killed off a once vibrant community and budding e-sport that at one point had several major tournaments.
Or rom sites. I think it was Nintendo that had Emuparadise shut down.
Emuparadise just got cold feet after another one bit the dust, it's why they are still up, just not hosting roms.

It’s hilariously pathetic that a bunch of lawyers convinced the people at Nintendo to waste their time doing this shit.
There is zero percent overlap between janky Garry’s mod custom assets with Nintendo sales of their polished AAA games except to probably drive sales of Nintendo games to a degree.
I think the issue is Mario being used with guns and other stuff, it’s detrimental to their image.

nintendrones are the most brainwashed corporate bootlickers I've ever encountered
Do GMod servers work at all with 3rd party asset providers, or does everything have to come from the Workshop?
