Why the hate on nintendo?

They've been endlessly DMCAing emulators and fan projects while offering no viable alternative for playing old games. They want you to pay a subscription fee to play a handful of n64 games on the switch using an emulator that is decades behind the open source alternatives and notably is even worse than previous iterations of nintendo's own n64 emulators on Wii and gamecube.

There was a video I had liked on youtube breaking down their emulator incompetence but I can't find it. They likely had it taken down.

But this one is still up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF6Wmp6I5JQ It's about how nintendo bans people from mario maker for using "glitches". Not even game breaking stuff, just random movement tech.

The whole company has just become anti-consumer and anti-fun. The behavior is the hallmark of management who has inherited property from their superior ancestors. They know they could never make something as great, so they cling to their inheritance with all their might.
