Should turn around and sue Nintendo for facilitating the facilitation of piracy by making the consoles in the first place.

Crappy ones that they knowingly sale with faulty hardware. Of course someone tried that and they forced him into arbitration. I don't see why anyone supports that shit company anymore.

Considering the US, where they're filing the lawsuit, has just recently opened up the floodgates of corporate lobbying power thanks to SCOTUS, I don't know why anyone would want to support such a maliciously litigious company.

The subpoenas will continue until morale improves.

Because most poeple don't care and just want to play the latest $GAME_NAME_HERE?

And I mean, Nintendo has already sued people into essential slavery and nobody said shit, so I don't know what the fuck will get people's attention.

I will say, one difference between Nintendo and other game console manufacturers, is that they do innovate more and make incredibly well-polished games as far as large game developers go

But yeah, screw their Disney/Apple/WotC-esque business practices
