    I’m really on the fence now on buying a console in the future. I’ve always bought the latest iteration and multiple games from Nintendo.

    But they are turning into some lawyered slimy multi billion corporation feeding the orphan crushing machine.

    If they don’t operate with ethics, then neither should I.

      Just FYI, Nintendo has always behaved this way. You can find stories about Nintendo suing and shutting down rom distributors for as long as roms have existed. They’ve also completely shut down several fan-made Pokémon games and tried going after rom hackers. They’ve also had a very long history of keeping their IPs completely exclusive to their platform and of reselling the same game on multiple platforms instead of allowing for backwards compatibility.

      I just made this decision and ended up getting an EM780, it’s a gaming APU PC that fits in the palm of your hand and uses an improved version of the chip in the steam deck.
