Big N hates everyone

Nintendo is a shitty company that deserves no sympathy.
If you stream or play Nintendo games publicly, consider stopping: they don't want you to do that, they want people to buy the games themselves and not watch you play them and they will eventually come for your ass.

I'll say some praise though: they make the best games, they have not allowed themselves to be bought by some giant company and then ruined (Microsoft tried!), they cut the executive salaries during/after COVID instead of doing massive layoffs like everyone else. Their company policy and talent must be great, their PR and legal department should be fired yesterday.
