No, you said haters, I just stated a fact.  Which you ironically clearly hate, because it shows Nintendo as failing.

To illustrate, NoE is an exception because it is based in Germany, which makes circumventing this law much harder. SCEE and MSE are based in the UK.

Apparently that doesn't matter to some of these poeple.  Just like I said in my first post would happen.

I was hoping the criticism was born from misinterpreting the "Since Nintendo of Europe is based in Germany, Nintendo eShop is complying with German youth protection regulation which therefore applies to all our European markets" part as "Nintendo is forcing a specific regulation on the entirety of Europe because they're crazy like that". Though come to think of it, one must have a low opinion of Nintendo to jump to that immediate conclusion, so your theory is probably correct.
