Nintendo creates games I love. All the bad stuff is so insignificant in comparison. It’s like hating your own mother because she refuses to bake your favorite cake the way you like it. Nonsense.

Maybe if you view your relationship with your mother with the same lens as a business transaction. Otherwise, it’s not.

Not the OP, but I think the point is that it's just not a large enough issue for me to care about given how much I like what they produce. Honestly, I just really don't care. I don't like it, but there are a lot of things in life I don't like. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this view.

I do care (and steadfastly refuse to play newer pokemon/animal crossing due to the save shenanigans), but not so much that I didn't buy a (used) switch with the top games (Mario odyssey, Mario kart, breath of the wild, smash) on cartridges.

I am super sad that there's no easy way to run Android (for steam link) on it, but I understand (if not agree with) Nintendo's position here. If I could play all my steam games on my switch, I'd never buy switch games except exclusives (which is most of my library anyway).
