    This would be great if Nintendo was genuinely concerned about encouraging the usage of a hostile platform. Sadly odds are that it cares about its brand way more than “those things” playing their games.

    Nintendo didn’t provide one [reason], but it’s likely due to X’s increased API costs

    I don’t think so. Even with the abusive costs the price would be rather small for Nintendo, in comparison with the advertisement of its games in Twitter. I think that it’s mostly a “eeeeew, Nintendo has X integration? Nintendo must be fascist.”

    Either way it’s a positive.

      More like “Joanne got a promotion for integrating X!”, followed by “Mike got a promotion by saving the company 2M/year!”

        I think that it’s more like “Mike got a promotion *for saving our brand from unnecessary damage”. The whole thing stinks “muh brand” from a distance for me.
