yep.

I've not given Nintendo money for a long ass time, because of their idiotic insistence on choosing the most selfish, customer hating path at every fork in the road they come to.

    Likewise, Nintendo has now joined Sony for me in my Never Another Red Cent category. I've got an entire bookcase full of Nintendo games and systems ranging from the NES all the way up to the OG Switch but it ends there. It's guaranteed that they will never shape up, so I'll never give them any more money.

    Sony was so close to me diving head first into their PC gaming ecosystem, cause there were a lot of games i really wanted to get into, when they pulled the "HAHA SURPRISE, ALL THOSE GAMES YOU'VE ALREADY BOUGHT AND PLAYED? NOW YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PLAYSTATION ACCOUNT FOR THEM BECAUSE WE SAID SO!" and basically guaranteed I'll never own another playstation product for the rest of my life.

    For me it was the music CD rootkit thing, and trying to sue people for watching a particular Youtube video. Sony has already been on my no fly list for a very long time.

    When Sony was suing George Hotz over his PS3 jailbreak video, they also tried to bully Youtube (or possibly Google, I forget if this was post-Google acquisition) into revealing the IPs and identities of everyone who watched the video so they could attempt to sue them for "piracy" also. Obviously they did not succeed, but the fact that they tried says a lot.
