Well, I don't know if you remember me from advancegb.com but I know you from back then and I know you well and I know you're objective. So no problem with your criticism or anything, but in the last couple of days it seemed all you did was try to get reactions from Nintendo fans, one attempt after another. And I just started to think that you were just bored and trying to have fun at someone else's expense. So I just stopped taking your comments seriously. I didn't even see it as you trying to be an ass but just saying them in jest and I decided to point it out just to avoid having others "fall for it." It helped that I didn't really take your EA and Nintendo comparison seriously as I didn't really agree with it. The motion control thread also didn't convince me.
As for the criticism itself I don't even disagree with it, I just noticed that you kept going and then everyone joined in and I really didn't think the subject merits that much anger. I haven't bought a single game from the virtual console since Megaman 9. And I just had to play that game and didn't have a PS3 or 360 at the time. But until Nintendo gets its act straight, then they better not count with me spending money on downloads for their platform.
This is from a thread I made a long time ago where I pointed this flaw in Nintendo's policy:

Policies is the one argument I can understand most. These vary from company to company but while most of the times these policies are understandable, they can at times be a little too restrictive or even unfair. Someone who comes to mind here is Nintendo on the DSi. Whenever you buy something off the DSiware service, you can only play it on the DSi you bought it from. Nintendo claims that you buy the license which permits you to play the game, but not the game itself. So if you buy a new game and download to your DSi but later buy a new one and would like to play it on that one you can't take the game with you. In steam, for example, whenever you buy a game you can download it to any other computer as long as you log in to your steam account using the steam client.

I actually like all of the platforms and have complains about everyone of them too. I just didn't feel you were happy just with making your point but kept going after that.
And Bond, if you truly didn't know that until now, then my bad. I just really considered this common knowledge and thought you were just being sarcastic. So no need to say only good things about Nintendo. But now I'm assured this is actually a legitimate discussion. And to be honest, gekko's thread about the Halo Anniversary eating his save didn't get everyone on the hate halo bandwagon or anything, and (although I haven't been reading every single thread on GT) I haven't really seen anyone jump in any hate bandwagon towards non Nintendo consoles. I think everyone enjoys every console on this forum.
