And the Nintendo of my childhood was responsible for pretty much every anti-consumer practice and cultural trend concerning videogames during my childhood:
Inventing the idea that videogames are toys only for little boys only for marketing purposes. Betraying and exploiting established relationships with developers. Screwing over partners on disc technology and reversing course to limit technology to be under their control. Supporting Jack Thompson throughout his campaign to ban all videogames with any adult content at all. Lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit to hold the entire industry back. The list goes on.

you forgot:
- making it mandatory for any 3rd party game to stay exclusive to the NES for 2 years, essentially giving themselves a monopoly
- suing to make cheating devices like the game genie illegal (they failed, thankfully)
- suing to make game rentals illegal (they also failed)
- introducing the lockout chip, normalizing walled gardens on consoles, as well as region locking

It’s always been this way with Nintendo, even way back. I did a backlight mod to an original DMG-01 Gameboy yesterday and they used tri-wing screws to secure the case, those things suck and are only used to keep consumers out.

Yet another reminder of the superiority of the Steam Deck and PC as a whole.

The more they think they own the console after I’ve purchased it, the more resistance I have to getting one.

Same always bought my kids Nintendo. I am resistant to the switch 2 and rather proudly my teenager came and told me they are not impressed with Nintendo's practices and does not want it.
This console is gonna be a hard no from me. If I can’t own my stuff they don’t get my money.

Why? At this point, I would throw all Nintendo hardware in the garbage. Let it stay unbanned than support such a shitty company.
