Good lord, you're actually gonna come down and try to defend your actions like some kind of corporate propagandist. Fucking sad really how you've got it all twisted. SOMEONE IS PAYING FOR THE SERVICE! I don't care how many people are listed and aren't using it, YOU'RE STILL PAYING FOR A YEARLY SUBSCRIPTION FOR A FUCKING ONLINE EMULATOR. Where the fuck was a lie made? Care to misrepresent some more shit?

It's 4.17 not 5? I should take that as my first clue you're not serious. People round up to 5 for meals all the time, this is such a strange thing to start on.

Nintendo confirms Switch Online retro game removal in US and Europe

Responding to the news on X, former PlatinumGames co-founder and current Clovers Studio founder Hideki Kamiya – who regularly posts about his love of classic games – criticised the move, asking for the return of the Virtual Console service, which was available on Wii, Wii U and 3DS and allowed individual games to be bought.

“Hey hey hey, I guess subscriptions are no good after all,” Kamiya wrote. “Seriously, bring back the Virtual Console… don’t be so mean.”

It should also be noted that numerous retro games were delisted from Virtual Console over the years too, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Yoshi’s Cookie, Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure, Aleste, SimCity, Street Fighter II, Final Fight 1-3, Super Turrican 2 and Super R-Type.

for 1-6, you're paying a rental subscription service to play an emulator... just type emulator into a search engine, go to one of the hundreds of sites. Hell, go to archive.org and get the official nintendo online emulator pack.

Here's your mariokart, here's your banjo.

Guess what?!?! I'm not gonna charge you a fucking penny and I'm not gonna log onto your device and remove your data!! You're welcome!!

(don't know what the fuck you're talking about BOTW for, it was an example that nintendo is making shittier products and can't be relied upon anymore if their flagship game can't even run properly on the console, keep making an ass of yourself though)
