If a company shows no respect for its consumers by nickel and diming them for everything, then there is no reason to show a company respect by purchasing its products.

Sure, but there is a difference between not giving them money, and not giving them money but getting their product anyway.

"I don't like your product or practices, so I'm not going to purchase it" is not the same as "I like your product but not your practices, so I'm going to pirate it."

Video games are not exactly a vital good like food.

    Blind consumer loyalty only incentivizes Nintendo to further raise prices and make their products less consumer friendly.

    Piracy simply demonstrates a problem with supply; if Nintendo wants to solve it, the solution isn't trying to cuts heads off of a hydra, but rather adjust prices to capture unrealized market potential.
