    Nintendo is an awful company, but it isn’t nearly the same level as the other ones

        Hey, Nestle may have murdered a bunch of infants in Africa in the name of profits, but that’s nothing compared to charging $80s for Switch 2 games /s

          Do you not remember the time Shigeru Miyamoto destabilised a small African nation in order to send in send in his private security force (they have little goomba helmets it’s adorable!) to overthrow the government and take over under the guise of being a “peacekeeping” force and then proceeded to force all the inhabitants to work in their factories making Amibos, or tortured the most agregious dissenters by forcing them to work as game devs??

          It was pretty big news at the time.

        Yeah, fuck Nintendo but please explain to me how Nintendo is worse than a company that used slavery, a company that destroys the environment, and a company that destroys the economy.

      Making me pay $80 for Mario Kart World impacts me way more directly than a company exploiting public water resources, ergo Nintendo is more evil than Nestle.

        I think their active work against unions is the big one for me.

        2022 NLRB complaints accuse Nintendo of America (and staffing partner Aston Carter) of firing testers after union questions, coercing workers, and treating long-term contractors as second-class citizens. Multiple former employees confirmed low pay, isolation from benefits, and retaliation fears.

        Nintendo never told third world mothers that their own breastmilk was dangerous for their children. Nintendo never funded paramilitary groups to protect their hold over slave labor.

        Nintendo did not produce MULTIPLE Riddick movies

        Nestle. A little child labor never hurt anyone, but an $80 Mario game!? Fuuuuccccckkkkk!!!

        Seriously though, fuck all of them. Nintendo is an excessively litigious piece of shit company.

    Ok, be real here. What kind of lobbying work are you actually able to accuse Nintendo of?

      They are testing the limitations of patent law as we speak? In a case that’s not getting nearly the attention it should for the precedent it could set
