The only reason I can think of why everyone gives them slack is nostalgia. But if that really is the case, then I can't help but ask: are y'all stupid??
They're making you buy the same hardware and the same games with a new brush of paint over and over, and once they're done milking your wallet dry, they stalk, harass and intimidate anyone who dares to mention their name publicly.
@saagar @siguza I agree that they could be better working with the modding and competitive community to incorporate good ideas into their games. E.g forcing closure of fan run competitive smash tournament or aggressively pursuing modders is lame and often counter productive.
But a lot of the piracy and leakers I think are free game for lawyers.
Regardless, I will be playing Tears of the Kingdom :)
@saagar @siguza also I think the DLC thing is industry wide, not just Nintendo.
The selling multiple versions of a game has gotten annoying (and profit hungry) but the original idea Pokémon Red and Blue seems to actually have come from a genuine feeling of hoping for social interaction through link cables with a friend who has the other version.
