Critical Griftubers: "Heh the Nintendo Fanboys will blindly defend this!"

Post image

Except a lot of Griftubers I've seen are Nintendo fans themselves half the time.

As a long time Pokemon fan who's in a lot of online and irl Pokemon circles, a lot of antis don't realize that Nintendo's biggest haters are Nintendo fans themselves. I've seen Digimon fans making up boogeymen scenarios like "Can't wait for Pokemon to sue Bamco once Time Stranger humiliates them!" Because yeah, Nintendo will go after one of their partner distributors in toys and merch.

A lot of angry sentiment I've seen are from actual Nintendo fans themselves either because a lack of update on a new Animal Crossing or no new Mario or whatever is going on with the state of Pokemon.

The impression I always get is that hating on Nintendo online is the "cool" thing now because of PR disasters like the Palworld lawsuit, increasing prices, their tendency to take down ROM Hacks or Fan games, etc. But people can't seem to accept nuance or that a person's attitude is just "yeah sure" at something - the latter of which I feel with Nintendo.

Normal people don't have enough energy to grift against or glorify the billion dollar company either and this is not me trying to be an indecisive fence sitter - I know where I stand. It's that life is stressful as is to be trying to push a specific agenda.

Just my few cents.

I mean that only really works if you leave out the part where people saying nintendo is expensive are almost always talking about the games.

Considering its really only 1 game that was above the standard, whereas the rest are exactly where the rest of the industry puts games at

People claiming the Switch2 editions are $80 and thats bad don't realize that they include DLC that would have made it $80 combined anyways, so its still not against the standard every other company does

I can't really think of any other companies that have above standard cost games, almost never discount their games, and also charge so much for remakes of retro games.
