        Nintendo could literally kill everyone's grandparents and puppies and you'd have even online leftists coming to their defense.

        The shit they get away with is insane, especially considering their target audience are fucking gamers, who complain about everything.

          to be fair; I don't care much about puppies, and my grandparents were, on balance, complete fucking monsters.

            this is exactly the response I'd expect from a leftist on their way to defend nintendo lmao.

                I think its a bit, about how insanely laser focused some fandoms are, in defending terrible treatment of fans

              okay but like... how much to travel back in time and kil 3/4 of my grandparents? I feel like some serous damage could be prevented here. I'd accept a LOT of shit from nintendo if they did this.

              and again, killing puppies isi... I guess there's carbon emissions? but live dogs also do that so IDK what ends up being better on balance.

              don't needlessly gender the leftist nintendo-apologist please. their fandom is notably less (publically)gender segregated than most mainstream gaming companies.

                Sorry! That's embarassing, I don't tend to gender things like that and I'm wondering why I did it. I guess cause despite being one I have a really negative opinion of gamers and their propensity to whine incessantly, leading me to have a certain image of your average gamer as some sweaty, grimy, neckbearded bigot.

                These are also coincidently the same type of people who can never muster a single bad thing to say about nintendo

                  no i absolutely picture a certain very unflattering mra "type" when I think 'g*mer' but it's not universal, and shitty nintendo fans are a slightly different breed.

      Them and all of the other console corps. There isn't even any work being done by the money paid, it's just rent.
