As a passionate fan of Nintendo, I wish they'd announce and release some really cool sequels for series I love like Mario, Metroid and Fire Emblem ... which I'll then be justified to pirate because they are a greedy **** company that doesn't deserve my respect!
Seriously, and some of you wonder why I get so angry at times. If you go on some of the larger video games boards on Reddit, 4chan, Reset Era, this type of attitude is extremely common. In terms of big publishers, Nintendo by far is the best at delivering a constant supply of games as well as updating new installments in beloved series, and yet many act like they're the worst publisher in the industry who deserves to be pirated.
I mean, the fact that we keep mentioning Metroid Prime 4 is already proof enough. When they decided to make a new installment they originally gave it to Namco Bandai who was going to make it at their new Singapore studio. Well when development was going terrible, they then took it back and gave it to one of their own internal studio's Retro to make, which delayed the game several years and probably untold millions to do. Let's not forget the fact that Retro's previous 2 Donkey Kong games outsold the entire Metroid Prime series COMBINED. They took ones of their own studio's that could have worked on a more successful IP, but had them work on one of their lower tier ones instead.
Any other publisher would have either outright canceled Prime 4, or just had Namco Bandai finish working on the mess they were making and see if they could pull a fast one on consumers like Microsoft tried to do with Redfall around this time last year.
