I have some fond memories of Nintendo games from my childhood, but I've basically sworn them off as an adult, due specifically to these kinds of abusive behaviors. I'd kind of like to play Breath of the wild, or some of the newer Pokemon games. But not enough to support this kind of nonsense. These days, most of my gaming happens on a PC, with a little bit on Android. If a game isn't available there, then I just probably won't play it. (I know there's emulation, but meh.) When my son got interested in gaming, I didn't buy him a switch - we built a PC together. Nintendo is slowly but surely killing themselves.

As much as I commend your position, having just recently bought a Switch with Mario Odyssey and BotW I would say you're missing out on some really good stuff. I've had about a 5 year or so gap in gaming due to adult life getting in the way, but it's been really fun getting back into it. Their behaviour in this regard really does disappoint me though, it's a completely unnecessary way to treat some of your biggest fans.

  Yeah, fair enough. I'm not going to fault anyone who doesn't take the same stance that I do. It's a bit easier for me partially just because I don't have all that much time to game anyways. I think I might average 1 game a year completed, and a few others started - I just finished Control, after starting it sometime last year.
