No, completely understand that ofcourse. But Nintendo fans prove time and time again they are suffering from Stockholm Syndrome by talking down the people who’ve had enough of Nintendos bs and lovingly run back to purchase the next overpriced and underperforming console.
Dont get me wrong, i completely understand why non-tech people dont want to put up with it and that we techies are a minority. What baffles me is the undending devotion the Nintendo fans have for their abuser.
Im not complaining about people liking Nintendos games. Neither am I saying that other AAA studios are flawless. Nintendo more often than not release finished products, apart from others (and with a few exclusions such as scarlet and Violet iirc). Nintendo is not a good company, neither is most of AAA studios. I would probably be more likely to play a Nintendo game myself rather than orter AAA titles. If a person has brain cells enough to recognize Nintendo and the industries flaws they are not the target of my complaints. Im sorry there are people out there worse than me who would continue to shit on you even after provingly displaying insight on the matter. Yet my point stands, people oblivious to the situation who keep coming back to Nintendo, without calling them out and letting every poor decision slide are part of the problem.
I honestly dont know about how Nintendo treats their workers, and honestly, if a Japan-based company has better work ethics than the rest of the industry I am impressed. On the other hand the industry is so shit for workers it shouldnt be a hard thing to achieve.
My personal stance is that people who blindly follow anything are pretty stupid. Nature gave us a frontal lobe for survival - make use of it.
