        Its just 6 giant supervillains fighting each other over the ruins of tokyo. I think for a lot of people Nintendo is the favorite but if any of them win or if they stop fighting we all lose.

        This is just how giant corporations work in markets. Its when they start working together to destroy the city that things get really bad. (Look at what tyson and cargill did to meat prices in the US, for instance).

        And if you look at who is trying to do that, well which company has been buying up game companies with the hopes of corning the market on AAA titles?

      because it made them feel feelings.

      same reason anyone has any parasocial relationship. apparently people watch people stream or influence and develop feelings for them.

      i don’t personally expereince any of this so it bafflest he crap otu of me… but apparently that makes me mentally ill in the current technology economy where it’s considered ‘normal’ to gift people 100/1000s of dollars to listen to them whine online.

      at least with Nintendo I am playing for a console and a game to play. not for the experiencing of living viscerally though somebody else.

    I think it’s important to separate Nintendo’s legal department from product development. While the products are expensive, they are high quality and are generally enjoyed by their target demographic. Their legal department is a supervillain, sure, but that’s a separate thing entirely from the product development side IMO.
