And I've never understood this line of reasoning. Nintendo made it and sold it to people. They didn't rent it. There was no lease with a defined expiration. None of that was ever presented to the user when they bought the game. It's tucked away in some TOS users are asked to click through post-sale where they essentially say "yeah you gave us money to access this but we can permanently revoke your access at any time for any reason git wrekt". I don't care if the servers cost money. Boo hoo. Nintendo sold access to people. They should be held responsible for upholding their end of the deal. At the very least they should stop being able to use misleading terms like "buy", the terms of the deal should be much more strictly defined instead of this "we can do whatever" nonsense, and the relevant parts of that deal should be made clear and apparent to consumers prior to any exchange of money. I don't think it's "censorship", but I do think the way it currently works is unethical and should be illegal.
