Do you not remember the time Shigeru Miyamoto destabilised a small African nation in order to send in send in his private security force (they have little goomba helmets it's adorable!) to overthrow the government and take over under the guise of being a "peacekeeping" force and then proceeded to force all the inhabitants to work in their factories making Amibos, or tortured the most agregious dissenters by forcing them to work as game devs??
Yeah, fuck Nintendo but please explain to me how Nintendo is worse than a company that used slavery, a company that destroys the environment, and a company that destroys the economy.
Making me pay $80 for Mario Kart World impacts me way more directly than a company exploiting public water resources, ergo Nintendo is more evil than Nestle.
Nintendo never told third world mothers that their own breastmilk was dangerous for their children. Nintendo never funded paramilitary groups to protect their hold over slave labor.
I think their active work against unions is the big one for me.
2022 NLRB complaints accuse Nintendo of America (and staffing partner Aston Carter) of firing testers after union questions, coercing workers, and treating long-term contractors as second-class citizens. Multiple former employees confirmed low pay, isolation from benefits, and retaliation fears.

Nintendo is an awful company, but it isn't nearly the same level as the other ones
True,Very Anti Community company,Very Expensive Games,Greedy Company and awful Consoles.
It's worse.
Hey, Nestle may have murdered a bunch of infants in Africa in the name of profits, but that's nothing compared to charging $80s for Switch 2 games /s

It was pretty big news at the time.
'Big news' sure, on unicorn riot or wherever and literally nowhere else.

They make children addicted to fun and games while they yearn for the mines
That's why there's a Minecraft port on the Switch and the new Donkey Kong game has you blasting through rocks with your virtual monkey hands
yearn for the
minescacao plantationsYeah, i mean, say what you want aboyt grumman or blackrock, but Nintendo makes video games expensive!
I mean shit, one of those things is very much not like the others.

Nintendo did not produce MULTIPLE Riddick movies
Nintendo funded Hamas though*

Honestly I’d defend more of their bullshit if they used their billions and billions of liquidity to like drop non-fentanyl laced food into Gaza.

Making overpriced games is more evil than murdering hundreds of people? Do you hear yourself?
Which one?
Nestle. A little child labor never hurt anyone, but an $80 Mario game!? Fuuuuccccckkkkk!!!
Seriously though, fuck all of them. Nintendo is an excessively litigious piece of shit company.
Nestle also makes coffee crisp, which is worth it.
It's always Lockheed.
Shit im used to the skunk logo, why did i think that was grumman?
Then clearly you're not familiar with their history, or have never had to pay for your own shelter.
That's why I'm here in Venice protesting the Bezos's protesters.
Let the poor man get married in peace.
Ok, be real here. What kind of lobbying work are you actually able to accuse Nintendo of?
They are testing the limitations of patent law as we speak? In a case that’s not getting nearly the attention it should for the precedent it could set
just what i needed: more affirmations that I'm definitely not a man :D
Is this meme about the interconnectedness of capitalism and patriarchy?
Then call me an alpha
