What companies like Nintendo should do is to sign up for OSS support services like https://www.tidelift.com/ , and whether they have or haven’t we don’t know. Sending out free consoles would just be a marketing gimmick, and

These records sure doesn’t play in their favor when it comes to investigations of being harmful to the competitive environment. One could ask the questions: Should any single (non-state?) entity be this large? Is it overall better to have i
