I won't buy anything Nintendo ever again because they started attacking emulators. I was a lifelong customer until the Switch 2 and they've shot themselves in the foot.

they started attacking emulators

They're like this since the 1990s. Nothing fundamentally changed.

I was a lifelong customer until the Switch 2

Then you stuck your head in the sand because they're consistent about emulators since three decades.

To fix this lifelong mistake this person should actively bash them from now on.

Don't know what you mean. I merely corrected the claim that Nintendo only just started attacking emulators. I bashed nobody here.

Not you.

Same here, since the Palworld/patents thing.

Palworld was the final straw for me.
