yup…

they own zenimax, who owns id software, who owns Doom

reminder that microsoft is heavily complicit in israel’s genocide

thank you so much for to playing my game!

its nintendo, im sure they’re going to find some way to raise the price for everyone else too

its kinda sad how one of the biggest women’s community on the lemmy/mbin side of fedi is !femcelmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone…

i mean, it’s a great community, but yea.

tbh these people would probably say linux is too niche anyways

but, like, imagine a project that’s entirely free, backed by donations, fully open-source, and so successful that it’s name has become a generic term for what it is. a project so successful that basically everyone who’s ever been online has used it and uses it frequently. a project so ubiquitous that almost everyone takes it for granted.

too bad that doesn’t exist!

some weird wannabe social network with no large corporation behind it and no VC money in the bank cannot work, should not work, will not work.

techbros can’t even imagine something working without capitalism, they truly have no imagination… no wonder they made genAI

using last-gen hardware in their consoles

I mean there’s nothing inherently wrong with that (if only they charged last-gen prices as well lol)

but anyways here’s a bunch more shit they’ve done:

• charging full price for basic rereleases
• removing reviews from the switch eshop
• killing emulation projects
• patenting basic gameplay elements
• sued a man so hard he was forced to pay them part of his income for the rest of his life

and for a few older ones, just to show that they’ve been shitty this whole time, actually:

• attempting to kill game cheating devices (like the game genie)
• attempting to kill video game rentals
• preventing 3rd parties from releasing games on competitor’s consoles, essentially giving themselves a monopoly

(also they’re partly owned by the saudi government, so, there’s that)

(and pls remember that, despite all of their shit, nintendo is far from the worst. it’s a systemic problem, not an individualist one. remember that ubisoft covered up sexual assault for years and that microsoft is literally engaging in genocide. the problem is that capitalism lets these companies get away with it.)
