    Dude stop. There’s no ethical consumption in post-/late stage capitalism. Nintendo is no worse than Microsoft, Sony, Steam, I could go on and on. Let people play their fucking video games—it’s one of the only nice things about living in this modern day. Fucking sheesh.

      But that statement is incorrect. Nintendo does too much to harm game preservation, much more than any other company.

      Microsoft and Sony aren’t currently trying to sue other developers into the ground. Nintendo is.

      Fuck Nintendo and quit licking their boots

        [citation needed], because given their size this feels more than just unlikely.

          Are you literally asking me to provide proof that somwthing isn’t happening?

          You can’t prove a negative, dumbass. The onus of proof is on you

            You can’t prove a negative

            *blinks*

            You are calling me the “dumbass”, here? 😅 Both logic and philosophy say this perspective is wrong, and also, funnily enough, if this were true (as in, it’s not possible to proof a negative assertion in a burden-of-proof scenario) then that very claim could not be proven either? Because “You cannot prove a negative” is, in itself, a negative assertion.
            Luckily for us this is of course wrong, and you can prove a negative. Especially in matters of fact, since you could find a list of current filings of Microsoft and hence show that no, of all their ongoing lawsuits, there are none that are targetting developers (which is not the case, it was easy enough to find two cases without digging any deeper).

            And I mean, this doesn’t do shit to exhonorate Nintendo here, but let’s not pretend Microsoft and Sony aren’t constantly running hundreds of legal cases and multiple will be targetting developers of all sizes. They’re just avoiding big press about most of them.

              If you’ve ever taken a philosophy course you’d know you’re completely full of shit.

              Your whole comment belongs on r/okbuddyretard. Not that I should have expected any better from a Nintendo bootlicker

        Being mildly excited for new announcements = licking a company’s boots and “prostating yourself at the altar”

        Log off already.

          Hey man if you enjoy being ripped off and shilling for a trash company that sues everyone and their mom for making a cookie in the shape of mario, then maybe you ought to log off as well. Maybe get some perspective and evalute some life choices.
