Nintendo really does know how to make children laugh and cry with good games and horrible policies.

I forget which game it was that the official release had actual malware in it and people had to get third party/pirated copies to avoid infecting their PCs.

Let's not forget that Nintendo used to be a gambling company. Yes Shigeru Miyamoto talks a good game (pun intended!) about how he loves making games and entertaining people, but at the end of the day they are a company that wants to make $$$$

other people like Reggie and Iwata in Nintendo liked videogames and not just money, also Sakurai still is making games he cares about

But now Nintendo is owned by two business dudes with no interest in games who hired this guy (not that he lasted very long)
