Nintendo Accused of Monopolizing The Gaming Industry - circa 1991

[Azureth]

Quite old, but still interesting to see how in a lot of ways Nintendo never changed. On one hand, the whole "Nintendo never lowers the prices for games" is quite true with some exceptions. And at least till the Switch Nintendo still had scummy business practices. Very interesting look at Nintendo then for certain.

Nintendo is almost 128 years old. They probably burned witches back in the day to keep their business going.

Not really true anymore. At least they are doing the Nintendo Selects which their most popular games are $19.99.

And IIRC they've been doing this since at LEAST the N64 era...

Whatever Azureth....

You could put Steam, EA Origin, or Activation in the title and it would be the same thing.
