Nintendo would rather dump endless amounts of money into law firms, waste time, bully small time players; rather than invest their profits into the company and fixing their god awful network/servers/net code used for multiplayer on the Switch. Glad they lost.

The overzealous legal action on Nintendo's part of the biggest reason I stopped buying anything Nintendo. I haven't owned a Nintendo since the SNES.

  So you stopped ca. 30 years ago?

    Yup. As I recall, some fan site I liked because it had some maps and such was shut down by Nintendo.

In unregulated environments, it's often more cost effective to be a bully (in the market or the courts) than to sincerely compete. You can see the same behavior from Meta (which buys competitors instead of innovating) and xAI (which is suing OpenAI).

  We don't have unregulated environments.
