There you have it, that should kill all the crazy talk.

Nahh, this will rumble on and on until they do it.

Here's an article I wrote for a spoof gaming website that never happened, intended to parody the mentality of these crazy talkers:

Nintendo Haters Declare Ultimatum: "It's Them Or Us"

After Twenty years of doomsaying, the internet has finally had enough of Nintendo running a profitable business and not being third-party already

A spirited group of individuals known as "F.U.N." (the acronym means "Fuck You, Nintendo") has clubbed together to complain extra-hard about anything Nintendo does, good or bad. The organisation believes that gaming should be a mature hobby for mature gamers such as themselves, that children should not play, and also no grannies because there is such a thing as a much-too-mature gamer.

We managed to get hold of the group's representative, McBastion Dreezil, long enough to squeeze these words from his throat:

Y'know, for too long Nintendo has been holding gaming back, constantly belittling our hobby by making games for little, crying babies. The industry should be allowed to grow with its gamers, offering only what they want, and not all this entry-level shit for people who only started gaming last week. Nintendo should have died when they made Mortal Kombat with green blood instead of red. Even though I hadn't been born yet, the thought of it still disgusts me.

The green blood issue has a lot to answer for, though. The disgust caused by the sight of clorophyll-rich bodily juices highlighted a need for game ratings to protect people from disturbing images, and prompted the creation of the ESRB, leading to the much-lauded "M" rating for "mature" games for mature people. In Europe, numerical age ratings are used, which leads some people to believe that you must be three years old to play certain titles.

The group will continue their tiresome onslaught of petulance until the company DISAPPEARS.
