      That’s a problem of the US law or lack of consumer protections compared to UK/EU, not because it’s Nintendo. All the other companies have this too.

        The second part simply isn’t true. Look at the ToS wording (US version). Nintendo added a clause specific to the device’s functioning, not only to online services.

          This has been a thing since 2005 or so, why are we still surprised again?

            “This shitty company has been shitty for 20 years, why do we care” is one of the most fanboi, dickriding responses possible. Why are you riding for Nintendo so hard given their shitty anti-consumer practices?

              Why is it “dickriding” to point out this has been a standard practice for all competitors for over 20 years?

              I don’t understand why you immediately go to the extreme and think this is me defending them? If anything, I’m saying it’s all bad.
