> Same argument can be used against you

That’s false equivalence and I think you know that.

For that they are. But for everything else they’ve pulled (and continue to pull to this day) they deserve scorn, ridicule and, perhaps most importantly, financial troubles.

Microsoft likes to dig its own graves and bury its own products through series of baffling anti-consumer decisions, and given the state of Xbox currently, there’s not much left of it to bury anyways.

But Nintendo? They deserve every single attack aimed at them. Go look up some of the tactics they continue to employ (some dating back to the 80s, mind you) to stop game preservation, meddle with fan games, and just all around do everything they can to ensure the only way to play a Nintendo game is by paying full price for it (regardless of the game’s age and quality of emulation).

Nintendo and Microsoft do not deserve pity.

Yeah, Nintendo AND Microsoft of all companies really do deserve all the pity they can get, seeing as they’re such pro-consumer, fan-friendly, not-at-all monopolistic, completely altruistic entities. Right?
