      I bought a shit ton of games from Nintendo until their legal department went rabid.

      Untouchable companies do fall, when they manage to alienate diehard fans, such as myself.

          People keep claiming this, yet I’ve never seen numbers to back this up. I’m pretty sure the core Pokemon fans are Millenials and older Gen Z’s, not kids.

          My boycott pretty naturally applied to my kids.

          We were day one buyers for multiple copies of the last Zelda game, and the last couple Pokemon before Nintendo legal went foul.

          Now no one in my family has a Switch 2, and my kids are begging me to help them spend their allowance on Palworld.

      Doing well, even exceptionally well, doesn’t mean that it’s the best possible scenario. Nintendo is leaving billions of dollars on the table due to their cultural obstinance.

        They occupy a pretty unique space both economically and socially. It would be an mba move to have them try to diversify too hard. Getting them up to date on certain coding practices feels closer to helpful, from my pov
