I wanted to believe Nintendo hadn't given up on my entire demographic. I was wrong.

Look at my game collection; Nintendo is my sole game company and has never let me down before.

 

Does anyone else find it ironic that the biggest ubuntu/linux proponent on this site only supports nintendo as a game company?

I want everything to be open-source/free software with one exception: games. Most applications are all about the method, so competition and interoperability are important and therefore it's better if the code is open. Games are pure creativity, so open-sourcing them wouldn't help anyone but would reduce developer income. To illustrate the difference: game engines should be open-sourced. Since none of the good ones are, we have wasteful, redundant development of features in parallel in the various engines. Take the feature "bump-mapping": it must have been coded over 20 times in different engines recently without any code sharing.

However I am still for consumer rights with regards to games, and I dislike Nintendo's DRM and region-locking practices, and how their console OS is closed. But it's not a deal-breaker since their core business is games.

@Khuutra:

Yes, I do support independent, open-source games. Nexuiz and Battle for Wesnoth are examples of good open-source PC games.

I make my own games using the closed Game Maker, which is why I also support its open clone ENIGMA.
