        I loved them but Nintendo’s overzealous attacks on hobbyists and indie devs has killed any enjoyment I had left. For a while there I thought they might’ve turned the page on that, but sadly I was mistaken.

        Also, stick drift.

        Plus Steam Deck is infinitely better.

        They’ve lost much of their innovation over the years. They have forgotten one of the core concepts of marketing to kids and that’s that the parents have to approve of the product. Many parents these days are Nintendo fans so we can smell bullshit when we see it.

    My lay understanding was that patents were invalidated if prior art could be found before the application date?

    If that was true then no patent Nintendo applied for after palwold demonstrated its use of a technique would hold water. This demonstration would be easy to verify as occurring at the time of release of preview videos, the games release, content patches, etc

    So I must be wrong if they think JP7545191B1 might be the one.
