Nintendo created the video game industry basically before the NES gaming was a sad excuse there the only true video game company

You know that Donkey Kong came BEFORE the NES, right?  It would also do you well to not diss the past like this. Nintendo helped to make the videogame industry healthy again, but it still was around before the NES showed up.

Ye but Nintendo still created Donkey Kong,Im saying they are a vital part of this industry

The original post was that, BEFORE the NES came along, the video game industry was a sad excuse.  If that is the case, then what does that make Donkey Kong, or even Pac Man?  It pays to respect what came in the past.  It is fine to say they are a vital part of the industry.  I don't think it is fine to dump on the likes of Atari and Midway, who helped to put the videogame industry on the map to, by saying that NES is the "only true videogame company" and calling stuff prior to 1985, "a sad excuse".
