Systemic change is needed when the system allows for that exploitation. That is not excusing companies. Noone should be able to do it is the right reaction.
No one should be able to do it is the right reaction, but 'Nintendo deserves no blame or shame for choosing to do it' is the wrong reaction. Nintendo could have used all the money it spends on IP lawyers to instead lobby the government to change the patent system, but they chose not to.
No-one you replied to said anything different which is why I find your reply weird.
I misread the comment hierarchy, I thought this was a part of a different chain.
