We need some of those larger game developers to step in and say “Hold up a minute.”

Mounting in gaming is a universal thing.
I think every game in history should sue Nintendo just for being a bunch of sour patch kids.

Patent trolling at it’s finest

Soo that’s every game since forever… Guess Nintendo gonna be going crazy /s

I’m starting to really, really, really hate Nintendo. They’re going to single-handedly KILL the video game industry.

Bunch of greed incarnate
