Sure, I'm not suggesting that what Nintendo is doing isn't in their own best interest, given how most gamers will continue to just buy more Nintendo products.
I'm in a minority where Nintendo's actions, on top of a selection of games that I find pretty lackluster, have caused me to give up on them and refuse them another shiny nickel. Attacking fans, IMO, is a no-no. Attacking the abandonware community is especially unacceptable. One can enjoy their games, but I don't get why people defend their being so draconian, given that any loss of revenue they claim over things like game walkthroughs is dubious, to say the least.
Yeah, I'm totally with you. Which is why I wrote a lengthy bit. I didn't feel like you were saying that these practices aren't in Nintendo's financial interests. I merely tacked my explanation on so that if others come through and read it, maybe they'll learn something about how negative Nintendo is towards their community.
I feel like a lot of folks are kind of ignorant to what Nintendo is doing. I don't like these draconian practices, so I try and inform others of the BS as much as I can in hopes that more people will become vocal and stop silently supporting it.
