For good reason.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

Well for me personally it was two reasons. First was a lot of politically charged content. I don't want to see that stuff any more than I already am forced to, so I just block all of it normally, but on the ml servers it was tiring blocking so much so I just blocked the whole instance Second was the ml admin's handling of the anime community that used to be hosted there and is now hosted on ani.social. I honestly don't remember too much other than the admin claiming something along the lines of "all anime characaters are children" or something like that. I don't remember it exactly, but it was some mindless take that communicated "we don't want anything related to anime on our server."

If it doesn't clone assets of their game then Nintendo legally can't do anything. Gameplay elements are not protected like that.

You can just use Unity 2021.3 LTS, its still under the old terms. (Or any version prior)

Remember when Nintendo said the Nintendo DSi was unhackable?

Three days.

I think that yes, the execs are greedy, but there are also two other problems:

  1. Shareholders are also greedy, arguably even more greedy than company employees (executives are employees).

  2. Developers have been overhiring, which is generally a symptom of someone not knowing what they are doing thinking that hiring more people makes things faster/better when actually the opposite is the case.

Out of touch, greedy executives that dont know what theyre doing, trying to meet unreasonable demands of shareholders? Yeah, perfect storm material.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

Yes, thats part if what I was talking about. The shareholders have unreasonable and unrealistic demands. Companies cannot infinitely have increasing profits year over year, but that is what shareholders demand. So the execs try to achieve those unreasonable demands, which results in overhiring because of course if more people work in a game then obviously the games will be done faster and better resulting in more profit, according to their thinking.

Im just saying that while executives are being greedy, they are only one cog in the machine.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

Considering execs usually are fired for ignoring shareholder demands, I would say regardless of how many shares execs have in a company, attempting to meet shareholder demands is always in their favor. This is irrelevant to the point I was making.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

Google using the classic source: "Trust me, bro."

Because Nintendo is a vexatious litigant that weaponizes the legal system in an attempt to bankrupt their opponents.
