    It’s surprising to me how many gamers out there believe deep in their bones that Nintendo is complete assholes while being completely blind to how just-as-evil Microsoft and Sony are in their console dealings.

    All three can be (and are) simultaneously evil, if different flavors. Nintendo’s litigious. Microsoft’s got all the bullshit in the OP. And Sony does that thing where they sell you a disk but what’s on the disk doesn’t work and they make you download the whole game after you put the disk in your system.

    (Bonus: Nintendo marketed BotW – though not by name – as a WiiU exclusive title before they even released the WiiU; and then they proceeded to dual-release it for WiiU and Switch. I’m still salty about that. Microsoft cut corners, causing the red ring of death thing. And Sony did that thing with the PS3 where they announced they’d support Linux and reneged after selling it to people. And all these examples are just what I know off the top of my head. And I’ve never had any Microsoft or Sony systems except the XBox 360 and PS2, both way after they were EOL.)

      Are you my brother/sister from another mother? Everything you talked about was why I switched to PC gaming.

    It’s like that one episode of Daria, where the school needs funding desperately. So, out of desperation (and greed), the principal signed a deal with the cola company, Ultra Cola, which looks like mountain dew. Near the end of the episode, almost everything is Ultra Cola branded, even the curriculum has the branding and slogabs in it. The principal is so desperate for the money, she goes total meltdown from drinking the soda, even chopping the soda machines placed everywhere in the hallways, with a fire axe, and ends up having a mental breakdown.

    This greentext gives similar amount of advertising vibes to that episode

      I know this is Daria, but all I see is a South Park puppet attacking a soda machine in the most South Park puppet way possible.
