A few things needed to be pointed out.
First, Amiibos also serve as collectables. So unlike Capcom and their on disc DLC, you actually get something extra from Nintendo. Also, unlike Capcom, Nintendo is open and honest about their content and they don't try to hide it. That is a good thing because honesty is something that is missing in the industry today.
Second, most Amiibo content is minor and any game you play that contains Amiibo content still feels complete without it. I have yet to use any of my Amiibos for Smash Bros. and yet I never felt cheated. Now, if Nintendo pulled a Capcom and released Smash Bros. without a basic single player modr, then I would feel cheated.
Finally, Amiibo is a cancer? You can look past the unfinished, broken games (Assassins Creed Unity, Battlefield 4), fake game trailers and demonstrations (Watch Dogs), Steam Greenlight games (too many examples), online modes working worse than games from a decade ago (Halo: The Master Chief Collection) or publishers simply lying about their games (Batman: Arkham Knight PC version) and you think Amiibos are the worst thing to come out of the 8th generation?
Personally, if given a choice, I would rather have every single 8th gen game have Amiibo compatibility if all those other problems were to vanish overnight.

I have been saying this for months, but no one is gonna listen to you, you cannot fight a trend and now the amiibo hate is trendy even for people that buys one per day XD
You gotta say YES, is the worst thing ever, is totally ruining my gaming experience, all my games are incomplete, is worse than EA etc and move out.

Honestly, if someone doesn't like the Amiibos, I can respect their opinion. Not everybody likes to collect stuff and that is half of the appeal of the Amiibos. Some people just want to play a game. I can understand that end of the argument, but to call it the worst thing to happen in the 8th gen is something that I can't accept. There's just so much other crap going on and the videogame industry is a complete mess right now. If you ever looked at Amiibos in a negative way, I still don't think they would be on any top 10 list of things that are wrong with modern gaming.
