and people wonder why video games aren't taken seriously.
Uh, that's really got nothing to do with this. No one's throwing a tantrum; Nintendo is making a very thinly-veiled attempt at phasing out anything and everything that won't net them infinity dollars. They then justify it by saying that you don't care. And they continue to get away with it since
they're Nintendo, and everything they say and do is right.
You can exaggerate anti-Nintendo claims to make them look stupid, but that doesn't change the fact that the vast majority of them are legitimate complaints.
