Nintendo was not forced to do anything, they chose to do it because it would make a lot of money. The pressure of shareholders is not an excuse to do something potentially illegal. So why does Nintendo carry extra scrutiny? Well... For one thing, Nintendo has a market cap of around $50 billion USD, which is absurd. The Roblox corporation is already a behemoth at nearly half that. Do they receive scrutiny? Well, yeah. Maybe not as much as deserved, possibly because despite it's prominence a lot of people just don't know what the hell Roblox even is, versus Nintendo which is the closest thing there is to a video game equivalent of Disney. Nonetheless, Roblox is still in the media and in lawsuits all the time. It's also definitely a strategic choice for people to rally behind a fight with higher stakes, and slapping Nintendo with a lawsuit could have the potential to send a much stronger message than a lawsuit against other prominent game developers like Ubisoft or EA would have. It's definitely not "fair", per se, if we're trying to rank companies based on how much they've done badly by their customers and the public. However, Nintendo, as beloved as they may be, are absolutely no stranger to engaging in shitty, anti-consumer behavior, so I have a hard time feeling especially much sympathy for them here.
