And, not that anyone cares, I vow never to buy another game from them- at least at that price.

Retaliatory non consumption.

After the Wii, I sword that I was never going to buy another console just to play Zelda. I eventually got a Switch to play Breath of the Wild and basically nothing else (I owned a total of 4 Switch games). When they sued the shit out of the Yuzu people, I decided it was time to finally live up to the promise I had made. I gave the Switch, which I hadn't touched in years, to a friend to use as a gift for his kids and committed to never giving Nintendo another penny.

I'll reevaluate that stance if they ever make significant changes to their practices.
