"Am I saying the industry wouldn't be a darker, lesser place if Nintendo hadn't gotten into it?"

If Nintendo hadn't "gotten into it", there quite literally wouldn't be a video game industry as we know it.  The industry had crashed in the United States prior to the NES, and Nintendo is what made games popular again.  So... yeah, that's a thing.  Definitely a thing.

"Am I saying that the industry wouldn't be a darker, lesser place if Nintendo went bankrupt tomorrow?"

Mathematically impossible.  A multi-billion dollar company with some of the most popular franchises in entertainment.  Not going bankrupt.  Not even a thing. 



These facts are not unknown to me.

And the second sentence was hyperbole. I disagree with the idea that it's "mathematically impossible," but Nintendo is obviously not going out of business tomorrow.



I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.
