    I’m sure Nintendo still make great games, but that’s not enough anymore.

    One day I hope more video game embrace open source/free software values.

      Nintendo does still make good games, and they’re the only ones who seem to care about multiple people playing together while sitting on the couch, as opposed to focussing only on online multiplayer across multiple systems.

      Which is why it’s so annoying that they do evil shit on the side like this. Nintendo are litigious to an absolutely callous degree. Wankers.

        I feel like Nintendo has this huge army of full time lawyers who have to continuously find enemy to stay employed

          It’s the other way around. Nintendo is a law firm with a game dev hobby.
