    This again?
    People think nintendo fell off or became suddenly evil but it was always like this, its a corporation focused on getting money, just like any other. You can argue about morality but nintendo like many other gaming companies don't care about all that if what they're doing is legal. Its not the first time s*** happened and it wont be the last. If i have to be honest i dont care about melee so i wont take a side, and about the etika joycons, i remember back when etika died people were selling t shirts with all the revenue going to charity and it was fine, even now if the joycons didnt have switch logo and the other copyrighted stuff and instead something like just the etika logo it would've been fine. Either way, its bad publicity from nintendo and they need to do something about it cause everyone is pissed.
    With that being said, liking a company =/= liking the games a company makes. I wont act like Nintendo is the worst s*** ever when my fondest gaming memories came from the games they made but regardless i can still criticize a company for the bad decisions they make

    Also about Silva gunner, his videos always get claimed, its been like that for years so bringing it up now makes no sense imo, its basically a routine

    Never understand why people defend multi billion dollar corporations over what’s basically pennies to them

    without Nintendo the first 3 games i ever played never would have happened, Super Mario World, Zelda ALTTP and Donkey Kong Country

    their IPs are the reason for so many things in my life

    and because they remained vigilant in the way they handle their property, you expect me to just start slandering them? lmaoo ok

    you can criticize without it being attacking

    doesnt mean im attacking it just voicing an opinion

    yeah i can admit they are doing some next s*** that i cant agree with but thats where it ends

    Nintendo didnt do s*** this year though, they released Animal Crossing, Xenoblade DE, Paper Mario TOK and Hyrule Warriors 2

    covid happened so i can see the 90 day delays realistically and then Nintendo letting next gen drop so it can be all about the games in 2021...smart

    Nah, Nintendo are scummy as f***, they have been for a while now, I'm glad people are seeing it more and more
    But I'm not gonna pretend like I wouldn't cop a BOTW2, Odyssey2, a Zelda collection, etc. day one
    I don't give a f*** that much

    cognitive dissonance

    if all u do is say Nintendo is scummy on a forum but u still give em hundreds of cash, seems like u dont really care bout the scummy

    if we cared about the scummy we wouldnt cop upcoming releases

    I mean, I guess you can say it's cognitive dissonance, but I think we all have it a little bit. We're all hypocrites in one way or another, in the end.
    Like, I think no one likes the fact that Nike or Zara or whatever are using sweatshops in Bangladesh or wherever, but that won't stop us from coppin their stuff
    Same with Nintendo or Sony or whichever company you wanna name.
    I'm just glad Nintendo is getting flack for this s*** cause they're still my favorite videogame company in the end, & I'm hoping some of this s*** gives their PR enough trouble that they might change their ways, at least a bit.

    Game Awards tomorrow night. Europeans taking the L time zone-wise. Now I’m not expecting anything from Nintendo that I personally care much about, but if wake up Friday morning and find a new BotW Sequel teaser that would just be such a nice treat

    But I’m really not expecting it to actually happen.

    From what I hear, Sony and Microsoft have mentioned/tweeted about the Game Awards but Nintendo hasn’t said a darn thing yet. Perhaps they are ghosting us completely tonight.

    Did they say anything the past three years when they showed stuff?

    They have, these are their tweets from 2019 and 2018:

    Why they so quiet now? I'm certainly not expecting anything major if they don't promote the award show.

    Lowkey kind of sad that we got spoiled what was coming instead of that something was coming. Joker coming out of nowhere was absolutely hype in 2018.
