>>31366355>>31366271It's called business (and also reality). Sony pulled the same shit when they released the PS4 and everyone claimed to be against it, yet it still outsold the Xbone and Wii-U (until last year at least).
These corporations do this shit because they know that even though they will get a ton of backlash, there are still millions of people who will pay for it anyways.
Unless a very large amount of people actually take a stand and don't buy it, Nintendo will suffer no consequence.
And when you consider that Nintendo's primary demographic is children who buy shit with their mommy's credit card, I highly doubt they will have a problem pulling this off.
By 2018 people won't even remember how mad they had been about having to pay for online, just like with PS4 players and Xbox players before them.
