Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console
carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 months agousing last-gen hardware in their consoles
I mean there’s nothing inherently wrong with that (if only they charged last-gen prices as well lol)
but anyways here’s a bunch more shit they’ve done:
- killing emulation projects
 - patenting basic gameplay elements
 - sued a man so hard he was forced to pay them part of his income for the rest of his life
 - charging full price for basic rereleases
 
and for a few older ones, just to show that they’ve been shitty this whole time, actually:
- attempting to kill game cheating devices (like the game genie)
 - preventing 3rd parties from releasing games on competitor’s consoles, essentially giving themselves a monopoly
 - attempting to kill video game rentals

I wouldn’t go as far a stating that it’s mainly a systemic problem. Individual choices also matter to some degree.
