The World's Most EVIL Video Game Company

[@beeps7]

I grew up with Nintendo. Owned all the systems. About a decade ago they forced Nintendo power magazines from the 80's offline. Because somehow this cost them money. Never liked them since. All the over the top anti-piracy doesn't help them in any way, shape or from. What's the point in forcing 8 bit NES rom sites offline? Nintendo can die, their last Zelda was pretty much a joke anyway, mostly copied content from the previous Zelda released like 8 yrs ago. A game that still has a full price tag of $60 today. I hate Nintendo.

[@olliepoplol5894]

Remember kids, it’s always morally correct to pirate Nintendo games. The more they crap on their fans, the more of us will go out of our way to spite them. Anti-consumer indeed.

Didn't Sony pay gaming Journalist to not only give favor to their games but mass report, threaten, and attempt to dox people who criticize them just for pointing out the shady and political shit they keep putting in their games. You know their games full of Ai, Microtransactions, DEI stuff, and their going towards live service games then mock you and harass you for not buying their shitty products?

Sorry for the rant i agree with most of your points

[@MrDrSrLoco21]

Don’t get me wrong I agree 100% Nintendo is Evil in the way they attack their own fans, but at the same time, I find it funny that no matter what we still play and love their games and the reason we think they’re so evil is because of exactly that. We love their games and the history they have made so much that it brings so much frustration and anger whenever they do such cutthroat tactics that are the opposite of what they portray in their creations. It’s sad really, but that’s what an unfathomable amount of money/value can do to almost anyone. A tale as old as time.

Nintendo just went full Ganondorf this year, Nintendo is going after and suing everyone in their way and they're not playing around, first is Yuzu then Palworld for patent infringement and now ryujinx, what's next, Nintendo suing sony and Team Asobi for patent infringement on Astro bot? This is absolutely insane, Nintendo ain't what it used to be anymore. I hate to see Nintendo/Pokemon and Pocketpair/Palworld fight each other, I love them both, and as a long serving Nintendo and Pokemon fan, I respect pocketpair Palworld for creating something Incredible for what Nintendo/Pokémon has failed to do, after all we all have to get ideas from somewhere that we find inspirational. I'm siding with Palworld and pocketpair on this, cause they don't deserve to get law suited by them for patent infringement, As much as I Love Nintendo and Pokemon but I will NOT GOING TO TOLERATE THEIR DIRTY BULLYING TACTICS against small indie gaming companies like Pocketpair and Palworld and suing them for patent infringement, I've already downloaded Palworld on my PS5 to show some Love and support to Pocketpair.

Yes, in most cases, it is considered illegal to intentionally acquire a monopoly through bankruptcy proceedings due to antitrust laws, which prohibit actions that substantially lessen competition or create a monopoly; if a bankruptcy sale could result in a monopoly, government agencies like the Department of Justice may scrutinize and potentially block the transaction.

[@Luizanimado]

I just wish Nintendo release their game for PC, or at least sell Roms on their website, they would pretty much fix a bunch of issues the community has. The console would still be the preferred way for most people to play, but at least there would be an option to buy games that otherwise is not avaliable, and there would also be an option for those who like to have better graphics, at the same time they would decrease piracy on PC because now people would be able to actually buy the game.

[@Tenacityfromtheglass]

@Luizanimado only in a perfect world. I agree that exclusivity is anti-consumer, but I think what would be more reasonable is just not going after all the emulators. If they want us to buy their games they can simply make them available on switch.

[@Timic83tc]

"why aren't there exclusives anymore?" "WHY ARE NITNENDO TRYING TO MAKE THEIR GAMES EXCLUSIVE?" pick one

[@vwxyz345]

Nintendo could either make their own store that sells all of their previous games as roms, and make millions of dollars Or spend money on legal fees going after roms and emulators, which is futile because roms and emulators are never going to go away They chose the latter Also it's good to share that nintendo is bad for doing this because they are also always balancing having good PR vs shutting stuff down and getting some bad PR

[@vwxyz345]

Thank you nintendo for not selling your roms because now everyone gets them for free. If they sold them we would all be giving them money for every game we like for nes, snes, n64, gamecube, wii, wiiu, gb, gbc, gba, ds, 3ds. I'm saving lots of money by nintendo not offering to sell them to me

And it hurts more because you’re fighting with people about products and IPs that you genuinely love.

[@skyriotAndKadeGaming]

When it comes to PC fans, yes Nintendo is probably one of the worst companies, but thats excatly it. I am very critical with Nintendo, their business side of the conpany does suck. However, to call them the "evilest" video game company is a huge exaggeration. Like it or not, but if you are just a casual Nintendo fan, nothing that Nintendo does, effects you what-so-ever. Where-as what Bethesda does, Ubisoft does, Activision Blizzard does, 2k does, Square Enix does and especially EA does effects the casual audiences with their greedy business practices, as their greed is thrown directly into their games. Microtransactions, AI, NFTs, Lootboxes & not even owning their games is something that each the listed companies above have done. Something that Nintendo does not do in their non-mobile games, as they understand that if you're a company thats supposed to be family friendly, you shouldn't try to milk thousands of children who don't know better. Game preservation is important, and yes I am also saddened by the emulators takedown. However, this is not at all on the same level to what the companies I've listed down did. At least Nintendo is providing a way to experience their games, and the agrument of a Switch Emulator to "preserve games" is a bit of a lie, when the Switch is out literally right now. It was always a silly decision to make an emulator on a console that's currently readily available. Ask yourself this, is the normal, casual gamer going to be effected by this? The answer is no, and you are lying if you say otherwise. The only thing I genuinely hate Nintendo for is their strict take downs on fan projects, because while I can see why legally "they have the right to", it still annoys me to see all that talent lost for nothing, especially when it doesn't effect Nintendo at all to leave them alone. If Sega can allow fans to do what they want, then why can't Nintendo.

[@skyriotAndKadeGaming]

My take away and tl;dr is that I do agree overall that what Nintendo did sucks, but I can't in good faith call them "the most evilest game company in the world" Especially when you have Ubisoft with their mass lay offs, mircotranactions & SA in their workplace and protecting predators. Something that Nintendo does objectively good with, is protecting their employees and not having shitty business practices (to the general consumer) in their games

[@Chillst0rm]

im sorry but a company who copyright strikes youtuber's showcasing their 1st party titles on their youtube channels is fucking pure stupidity. EVERY other gaming company has realized at this point its basicly free advertising. Yet nintendo would rather have people loose their channels for simply showing gameplay or music of their 1st party titles.. That is pure evil imo

[@olliepoplol5894]

Ubisoft, Blizzarrd - yes. Those companies do suck. But just because another company sucks - doesn’t make Nintendo except from their actions? Lol. Two wrongs don’t make a right dude. Nintendo is extremely shady. And to say that it doesn’t affect “casual gamers” is honestly, patently false. I never had a 3DS until recently. The eshop was already closed down. So hacking it was literally my only option to get games - even if I WANTED to pay for them. There are so many shady practices Nintendo employs. Sure, other companies might be evil too? But it’s like saying “well being stabbed to death is worse than being shot to death”. There’s no mutual exclusivity here. Multiple companies can all be ruining the gaming industry simultaneously - and they are. Nintendo included.

[@olliepoplol5894]

@@Chillst0rm not to mention - emulation is legal. You can argue that showing someone how to dump a game, that they own legally, fits in the realm of “fair use”. So not only is it a crappy thing to do - it’s kind of an insane legal precedent to be setting in the first place. Russ is such a nice guy, and he does not deserve this.

[@skyriotAndKadeGaming]

​@@olliepoplol5894i never said what Nintendo did doesn't suck of course Nintendo sucks in a ton of aspects, my agrument is that calling them the "evilest" gaming company though is a bit of a stretch. Nintendo obviously sucks when they take down fan games, strike modded Nintendo videos and take down emulation, however I just don't think its anywhere near as bad as Sexual harrassment at the workplace, literal suicides committed due to the workplace environment, mass lay offs, and exploiting children with terrible and greedy monetisation methods.

In my perspective Sony and Microsoft are worse due to them pushing DEI and ESG to the ground. And as a bonus Nintendo said that they would never use AI to make games.

[@Topbeehler]

Nintendo also doesn't do micro transactions in their games and they don't call you a bigot if you don't buy their games, and they don't pay journalist to mass harass and report channels that talk bad about your shady practices. Sony and Microsoft have. Nintendo taking down a video is the real life example of them sending a lawyer with stern warning to stop... Sony doing it is sending a gang and some hit men to rough you up and threaten your life and way to make money and normally for far less. One can at least make an excuse that of course Nintendo takes down videos and attacks roms, they want to show stuff their way so you get the idea they want you to have about their games to sell more, shady, a little yeah. But Sony will try to kill your entire channel and mass report websites or groups that disagree with politics or if they just don't like you for pointing out their shady stuff

Nintendo "fans": I bought some games of yours once, give me access to all of your intellectual property. I know that Nintendo isn't a sweety pie, they're a big business. I don't expect them to service me like they're my mommy taking requests for what kind of nuggies I want for dinner. Do they really have to make their entire catalog available to you on every current console of theirs? That's entitled and out of touch to think IMO. Like, twilight princess.....the Wii version is so cheap, and the Wii itself is also cheap. I don't get access to every body shape of ford mustang when I buy a 2024. I can get on board with some fans in some situations, like overreaching copyright strikes or the way Nintendo is so unfriendly toward the competitive smash community, but that just means I can sympathize and agree with the fans, not that I believe that Nintendo shouldn't be allowed to enforce it's legal rights. Do we want Nintendo to go the way of Sega? The Dreamcast was notoriously easy to pirate for and that was part of the downfall of that console. The gaming industry tried to destroy Nintendo in ~2013 during gamer gate, when every mainstream gaming news article was saying "gaming is dead, Nintendo is dead". Without Nintendo, fun gaming will go to the stone ages and it will be almost exclusively indie games that focus on creativity and fun, not just focus tested mutant abominations like the modern The Last of Us modern master piece clone games that seem to be the only thing the gaming industry wants to produce and promote these days.

[@MateuszSSJ8]

You have mentioned the emulators and that will be what I'll comment about. The players nowadays are not what they are supposed to be which is why there are so many cheaters in "League of Legends", "Halo" or "Counter Strike". They are not playing the games to enjoy the gameplay. They are playing the games to show everyone something you will never show to anyone if you are really intelligent. They are just like that guy from "Killbasa" segment of "1000 ways to die" episode and I think you remember why he died. The main reason of their "Nintendo is just for children" phrase is the power of Nintendo consoles since Wii was the newest console sold by Mario Mario. Sony is almost went bankrupt by PS3, what made them to stop with the promise of the newest the best technology. Neither PS4 gives what PS2 gave, nor PS5 does. First Microsoft XBox was such a failure, Xbox 360 has easily proven to be better successor of it. Still Sony offers more cultures than Xbox, although both are worldwide. I've mentioned Wii since Satoru Iwata's words about it. PS3 and Xbox360 were up-to-date, while Wii was a bit more powerous Gamecube than the original one. The price Nintendo paid for that, was Dolphin being albe to emulate Gamecube and Wii. I suppose the same with Wii U and Switch Emulators. It's because of how much weak Nintendo consoles are. I think all those, who say "Nintendo is just for children" and play their games on an emulator, are just trying to artifically prolong those pistols between their own legs, seeing that as the only proof they are men. And that's why they will never play on Nintendo.

[@RaidenKaiser]

To say nintendo is more evil than activision is a bit hyperbolic, I still remember the blitzchung thing thats worse than screwing over customers thats straight up corrupt influence.

Twilight princess was absolutely amazing

[@shanesteinhauser9680]

1. Twilight Princess and a Gamecube or Wii are not hundreds of dollars. A Wii can be had for $40 pretty easily. A Wii copy of the game is $15. 2. Most popular Nintendo games are relatively cheap as a used copy. Nintendo knows this. Despite that they do remasters and remakes more often than most companies. Sorry they can't be perfect and have everything ever running on the Switch for your convienience. 3. Emulation of modern games is unethical and theft. Nintendo did not make a PC version of Switch games. In order to run a switch emulator you have to bypass the copyright protection of their games by making an illegal copy of a decryption file. You are not entitled to play games on PC or hack them. Not everything is handed to you in life on a silver platter. 4. Emulation has little to do with games preservation. There are still working consoles for just about every system out there that can be had for $150 or less. These older systems generate a lot less heat and can be repaired. Emulation isn't needed for preservation. At least not yet. And even then FPGA is a far better form of emulation than software emulators that are mainly used for piracy. 5. 3DS games are still cheap. A 2DS XL is $190. Anyway I'm done with your video now. You are clueless. Abernic products are garbage.

[@austinkonkol2472]

Not only this, but Nintendo is among the best at preservation. As far as we know, they seem to have a record of everything they've made for decades and the production materials. Square Enix had to go to Nintendo because they had the source code for the Mana games in their vast vault, which is why its a Nintendo exclusive.

@@johnedwards9004 Take it personally? Looks like you have. Nintendo doesn't care whatsoever about Nintendo youtubers. Nintendo is another example of a massive company doing massive company things. Nintendo isn't anyone's friend but Nintendo's. Seriously, get over it.

"I want to pirate, and Nintendo doesn't like that."

don't be capping. the pirates are not insignifiact. ryujinx lets me download tons of games like brand new epic mickey for complete free, bypassing pc port drm. i like it cos its free. don't cap you know people pirate

[@Aki-kh2qe-StreetKidZZZ]

Tell me you know nothing without telling me that. The majority of the "pirates" use the games as demos and if they like it they buy it, if not they drop it and don't even keep it so it won't get them space so might as well bending over, taking it from the ass all the way too the throat, sucking them and when they done abusing you you say thank you master and start growing a pair

It's most likely illegal for some reason to have the emulated game image in the first place, similar to circumventing movie encoding used for movie DVDs. I just don't know what the exact factor is for removing it off a cartridge. It doesn't matter if the emulation process itself isn't illegal. It doesn't matter if you own a legal copy and system to play it, if the act of taking it off the official cartridge into a different format is illegal. The issue trying to back up your media these days, is while it's technically legal to make a copy of a non-encrypted and DRM free VHS that you don't sell or share around (matter of fact, it isn't even a direct copy, since you would copy a transmission of the video feed into another VCR, and technically, you were not even creating a 1 to 1 original data with VHS), however it is illegal to circumvent things like data encryption that began to show up on CD media after companies lost the battle to not make back up copies of any kind (and these are digital copies on physical media, 1s and 0s, yes or no, on or off, pit or not pit, a perfect 1 to 1 copy of data ignoring disc flaws). And Nintendo emulating their own stuff, it's their legal right to emulate their own stuff on their own hardware that you have to buy or lease copies or streaming methods via official methods. Basically it's not an issue of how you play the game, it's an issue of how the copy you are using came into existence and whether or not you control the rights to how it came into existence. And I'm surprised how many KZbinrs get away with obviously stating they're emulating things, because they're basically publicly admitting to playing an illegal copy.

[@ssjfrosty]

You're just straight up wrong btw it's legal to do whatever you want with YOUR product that you own. Backing up a game and playing it on a different format is not illegal and you can literally google that. That's exactly why that's all the emulators advertise

Fully agree but had to subscribe to hit that 666 subscriber count.

@adammason4314 I swear I didn't plan to release a "Nintendo is evil" video in the month of October around the same time as my sub count reaches 666. If you don't here from me, you know what happened.

[@MD-ng8rv]

Emulation supports piracy. Weather you say you don't advise or not. That's what going to happen eventually and will happen. You can say gamers *believe piracy is a service issue, but nah. Let's be real here. Regardless of what you say. Emulation needs DRM that's make it only play legally acquired ROMS. Unfortunately, the Devs of emulators never really can/or may even bother to make those kind of restrictions.

I'm a tshirt designer and i release some limited design for time to time. And when the tshirt collection is finish., It means it's done. And i wont sell it again even someone wanted to buy one. So if i saw my design being reprinted without my consent then i would sue that person too. You know what i mean. Let's be real here emulation still leads to piracy don't play dumb.

[@vwxyz345]

If there was millions of people wanting to buy your shirt, and you say no you won't make it for them, don't be surprised when they make it on their own. That's the point
