"Let it never be forgotten that Nintendo hates you, Nintendo fans. The
gaming giant has a long and decorated history both of anti-consumer
practices, such as attempting to poison the roster of YouTuber game
reviewers, bricking consoles if gamers don't agree to its post-release
EULA updates, and attacking some of its biggest and most creative fans
by issuing takedowns and threats for fan-made game levels, fan-made
games that have barely anything to do with its IP, and shutting down
fan-made remakes of games that are decades old."
Large corporations always want control most of all. That usually means
not allowing anyone else to make use of their works in any way,
regardless of how much it may hurt their fanbase.
