    Lifetime of goodwill I believe the quote is. The OP is right on that too. I don’t know how old you are, but there’s a certain generation that allocates Nintendo an exceptional personal worth and views them as an exceptional company, due to the long standing memories that are associated with their products. Mainly the NES/Super NES era, but they had a few waves. It’s not really brainwashing, it’s literally like 20 or so years of memories with products that were key during crucial moments of our lives. So yeah, it’s a bit hard to reconcile that with the way they are acting in our modern age, honestly.

      Old to recall they were a card grifting company.

      I am aware nostalgia is one hell of a drug, but they’ve never had “goodwill.” Dunno if you’re capable of reconciling goodtimes from a grift, but you better do so, and for your ill-associated fans.

      I’ve hated them for far longer, and have given up hope you, and fans, will ever directly act upon this.

        Starting a company is a grift! Selling hand made products is a grift!

            The page you posted said they started walking handmade cards in 1889, calling it a grift is laughable. And no need to be pedantic

              Wait, is this one of those “I didn’t know gambling was taboo and illegal too!” when making handmade cards used in gambling apologias? Or are you really going to defend gambling?
