If Nintendo was smart they would SELL their stuff on Steam. But they are Xenophobic and don't want to play outside their sandbox. That plus Japanese-boomer is a whole new kind of boomer.

Pirating nintendo games feels so good. They literally banned people from posting videos with gameplay for a while, they make people pay to play old games on new consoles, they didnt even sell consoles officially in my country for years. Nintendo clearly doesnt want my money and Im happy to oblige.

Their music too, because WHY TF ARE THE ZELDA SOUNDTRACKS NOT ON STREAMING??? They don't even sell physical copies of them to compensate, and they took down all the Youtube videos of songs too!

If they thought they could get away with it Nintendo would swoop down on me with a cease and desist for whistling Saria's song in my backyard

It’s not because of xenophobia it’s because of capitalism. You buy a Nintendo console for their dope first party games then every third party game you buy they get a cut. For consoles like the switch that are immensely popular and sold lots of third party games they make bank.
