They asked what’s different from the others, because Sony and Microsoft will also ban you if you try to go online with pirated games. This news isn’t actually anything new.
They’re much worse, for a myriad of reasons, but mainly because they are extremely litigous and overprotective of their IP to the extent that they regularly kill open source emulation projects that support games they don’t even sell, and also shut down any kind of fan-made projects or events.
The first flagship phones with the headphone jack removed.
The normalization of phones without expandable storage.
A phone where you buy the charger separately.
A walled-garden ecosystem without sideloading.
An OS that removed support for kernel extensions.
An authorized repair program that replaces instead of repairs.
A line of ATX-sized desktop PCs with storage modules that are only accepted if they’re the same capacity as the ones you originally bought the PC with.
Their entire software and hardware is an affront to personal ownership, right to repair, and consumer rights.
Don’t forget the thousand dollar basic monitor stand. Or the assumption that their users were too stupid to understand multiple mouse buttons until like the mid 00s. Or making a mouse that was completely round (still with one button) so you’d have to look at it to be sure it’s oriented correctly, though I guess that one was more bad design than lack of respect for their users.
Oh yeah. And the rechargeable mouse that needs to be flipped upside down to charge simply because the designers hated the idea of people leaving it plugged in constantly. Or the Mac Pro wheels that cost almost as much as an entire handheld PC.
Worse than disdain, it’s hostility. Their family-friendly image is at odds with their actual actions. Going after streamers because they dare play (and publicize) your games…? What the fuck!? Their attitude literally makes me reconsider buying their console and/or games…
Fuck Nintendo. No other company has as much active distain for their fans. And the damage they’ve done to game preservation is immeasurable.
Beside perhaps Apple
How so? My kids little son we do Nintendo. Don’t know what’s different from the others.
Downvoted for an honest question. This place is feeling less federated daily.
Did you miss the OP?

Thank you. I didn’t even know about Sony and Microsoft so sounds like Nintendo actually isn’t even worse anyway?

So I’ve def been seeing that. I thought it only made news bc the Nintendo brand, but assumed it was the status quo with everyone.
Pretty sure Apple does.
I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted here.
Apple is the company that brought us:
Their entire software and hardware is an affront to personal ownership, right to repair, and consumer rights.
Thar list is the lite version that doesnt include all the times theyve blocked open standards so their users can’t interact with non apple things.
Honestly at this point I think someone’s got a bot farm rolling against the switch 2, and Nintendo particularly. It’s really not subtle.
Because Nintendo is a piece of shit.

As it should.
