In my case, I don't hate them. I respect those devs, people have to put food on their tables somehow, and this way isn't one of the worst... I just believe that by doing so, we are helping to perpetuate vicious corporativism.

Nintendo isn't just the nestle of companies to users... they are the same or worse to their own.

I've seen people lose teams over errant comments about a novel idea for the IP they would love to see happen, or maybe even be developing as a passion project, purged for the notion that they were anything more than drones.

It's a disgusting work culture taking advantage of bright eyed developers that grew up with fond memories of the brand. I genuinely love some of the IP and worlds made by the developers - but I will never, ever, spend a fucking penny on that company until it is changed.
