Nintendo outright ships incomplete games on carts sometimes, requiring a day 1 patch to have the game in a non-buggy state (one of the recent pokemon games was like this) And "gamers" refuse to listen to reason and assume physical

Cloudflare & AWS wouldn't even INVESTIGATE a abuse report I sent because there weren't any "infringing URLs" or "specific resources". I provided enough evidence for them to at least be able to kickstart a i

Yup, NOYB couldn't help as I'm non-EU.
