    It’s just Nintendo’s turn to be in the spotlight for being crappy. Most game companies, especially if they’re big enough are crappy in different ways from each other.

      Nah. Nintendo has been a shitty company for the last 10 years at the very least. They make good games, but as a company they should fail and go out of business. They are extremely litigious, shutting down many fan projects simply for existing, which apparently is enough to have a chance to hurt their profits on decades old games. Their services suck as well, overpriced and lacking. They close down their online store fronts before everybody else, case in point, the xbox 360 online store was closed down recently, at the end of last year, meanwhile, the Wii has been dead for 6 years already, and it was a console released a year after the 360. There are many other examples on why you shouldn’t support Nintendo, a 15-minute search on the internet will give you plenty.

        Just as there are many reasons not to support Microsoft, Sony, Activision Blizzard, Bethesda, Ubisoft, and so on. None of them is off the hook and they’ve all been under the microscope as well. I wasn’t saying that Nintendo doesn’t do crappy things, but that most game companies do crappy things and they tend to get heat for the crappy things they do almost on a rotation based on what gamers are focusing on.
