There's this strange thing that happens with Nintendo which i don't think i've seen with any other gaming company, where the company gets treated as some legitimate institution. Like, there's this special status to a product being 'officially licensed' and anything else is bootleg, as if it's a government giving developers a permit to make a game for their systems. The way this poster writes about "kotaku being blacklisted by nintendo!!!" feels like they think nintendo is some international organization that is going to place sanctions on them or something... i dunno, it's weird
