And THAT’S because, say it with me now folks! Japan has actual pro-consumer laws in place to protect people from companies doing this evil fucking shit, whereas the U.S. has none, because NOBODY in the U.S. actually wants pro-consumer laws to be passed/enacted, least of all American

New MKW Knockout Tour rallies today!!

Nintendo has its own anti-competitive, anti-preservation, and anti-labor practices. But they are marginally better, yes. Don't forget about Valve.

The bar may be in hell, and nintendo may do plenty to piss me off too, but for all their eccentricities and idiosyncrasies, I get the feeling they don't want to collapse the industry for the sake of short term spreadsheet gains like MS and Sony.

*looks at the quote-tweets* oh, right Bluesky

Also, we added stuff to Mario Kart World and didn’t charge for it.

and not to be outdone. in the middle of the night they announced they're adding more routes to mario kart world

It's important to take the positive stuff wherever we can find them

They plainly understand the assignment in a way the weird tech/finance people running their competitors don't.

I know who I'm choosing

Valve: hehehe cube (don’t think about the price we didn’t want this either)

Nintendo isn’t perfect (game key cards), but warts and all they would still be a console I would still buy. I’m just so attached to their IPs. Couldn’t say the same for the other two, on top of their boneheaded decisions.

They also raised their base pay by 10%

Also Nintendo “we’re giving everyone a 10% raise” ZAG WHEN THEY ALL START ZIGGIN!!

I know it's not what you said, but I read it as the "Bob Loblaw" and that's how I will think of it from here on.

Didn't Nintendo also announce a 10% raise across the board this week, or am I misremembering?

Also Nintendo : Oooh, didn't you read the terms of use ? That's too bad. It says here you can't back up your legally acquired games, or you go to jail forever. Oh, and we also desisted the tournament you asked us for permission 6 months ago at the last minute, so you have to pay the venue anyway.
