      No other company has as much active distain for their fans

      Pretty sure Apple does.

        I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted here.

        Apple is the company that brought us:

        • Proprietary charging cables with DRM microchips.
        • The first flagship phones with the headphone jack removed.
        • The normalization of phones without expandable storage.
        • A phone where you buy the charger separately.
        • A walled-garden ecosystem without sideloading.
        • An OS that removed support for kernel extensions.
        • An authorized repair program that replaces instead of repairs.
        • A line of ATX-sized desktop PCs with storage modules that are only accepted if they’re the same capacity as the ones you originally bought the PC with.

        Their entire software and hardware is an affront to personal ownership, right to repair, and consumer rights.

          Honestly at this point I think someone’s got a bot farm rolling against the switch 2, and Nintendo particularly. It’s really not subtle.

      Worse than disdain, it’s hostility. Their family-friendly image is at odds with their actual actions. Going after streamers because they dare play (and publicize) your games…? What the fuck!? Their attitude literally makes me reconsider buying their console and/or games…

          They asked what’s different from the others, because Sony and Microsoft will also ban you if you try to go online with pirated games. This news isn’t actually anything new.

            Thank you. I didn’t even know about Sony and Microsoft so sounds like Nintendo actually isn’t even worse anyway?

              They’re much worse, for a myriad of reasons, but mainly because they are extremely litigous and overprotective of their IP to the extent that they regularly kill open source emulation projects that support games they don’t even sell, and also shut down any kind of fan-made projects or events.
