        Its just 6 giant supervillains fighting each other over the ruins of tokyo. I think for a lot of people Nintendo is the favorite but if any of them win or if they stop fighting we all lose.

        This is just how giant corporations work in markets. Its when they start working together to destroy the city that things get really bad. (Look at what tyson and cargill did to meat prices in the US, for instance).

        And if you look at who is trying to do that, well which company has been buying up game companies with the hopes of corning the market on AAA titles?

        ok like… they’re filing patents for bullshit and litigating a bunch of dubious cases, but afaik no one has been cut up with bone saws and stuffed into a piece of luggage.

        I don’t put it past wario but…? did I miss something? because that’s literally who EA’s selling out to

            put EA higher on the evil scale.

            I don’t like where nintendo is going, but yeah, the EA thing is a whole new kind of ‘fucking gross’

            the irony is EA started as a company that would (gasp!) CREDIT THE DEVELOPERS. Because previous companies didn’t - there wasn’t any credit given to anyone anywhere. EA said ‘come program for us and we’ll put you in the credits!’ and it worked.

            But then sometime about 8 years later they’d become the EA we all know and hate and things really haven’t changed much since.
