When did gaming become a charity instead of a business?

What you said, paraphrased, was "some Nintendo fans feel like they have to buy third party games just to get the games on their console"

What I said, paraphrased, was "Nintendo fans don't get third party games because they aren't the reason the majority of Nintendo fans bought the console"

How does that have nothing to do with what you said?

What I said is that some Nintendo fans feel like third party games have to sell better on Nintendo consoles because they expect that the internet gaming community will then look more favorably at all things Nintendo. If you look at this from another angle, it would also mean that any Nintendo fan who dares to question the quality of third party games would be frowned upon; and yes, that's exactly what is happening. As a consequence, a weak-spirited individual would choose the former path and seek acceptance rather than standing up for their beliefs (i.e. specific games aren't worth buying, period). That's why we then get calls that everyone should buy a certain game because the developer is at least somewhat trying.

I edited a couple times since I misinterpreted what you were saying.
