FWIW Nintendo, I refuse to give you guys any support after you went after Bowser. I genuinely found that to be awful behavior

Probably not worth losing lifelong customers and PR over piracy concerns.

Yep, similar. Was big into Switch 1, but have moved on permanently from Nintendo.

Same here. The switch 1 will be my last nintendo console.

Yeah I gave up on them for the multiple DMCA and copyright bullshit they keep pulling. I'm not really a console guy, but my friend gave me a Switch 1, and that was wonderful at a time I was in the hospital. But ever since then they've just become another rentier trading in their games, but attacking users and fans over and over. Screw em. I wish more people understood and felt like that, but most people don't care about the politics. They just want another Mario game for their kids.

The sad part is I would gladly fork over money, the new Zelda looks really nice, but, I'm not that desperate. I'll pay for another yacht for Gabe over Nintendo these days.

I thought they have to protect their IP or risk losing the ability to defend it later.

Went after Bowser? Isn’t Bowser like the central villain character?

Yes, same here.

I have absolutely no sympathy for Team Xecuter. They knowingly bricked consoles, misled customers, stole GPL software and shipped buggy software leading thousands of users to getting banned. This goes way back to the Gateway 3DS days (same team) where they did the same shit.

And the people before Bowser didn't bother you?

I mean 6/7 right? What do you expect? Nintendo never allowed it, always went for these 'projects'.

I don't think Nintendo lost any lifelong customers because lifelong customers don't need what Bowser and co did. so
