Yes, that's Nintendo's rationale on how to save money by offloading services they don't want to provide on the consumer.

Now the real kicker is: why are there consumers trying to defend that scummy behavior?

Is it voice chat that consuming though? I think it's another case of Nintendo trying to reinvent the wheel when there's a simpler solution.

I don't think Nintendo is that clueless. They must've had a reason why they had to offload this app. Taking too much resources away from the games seems like a plausable reason.

I've also read some reviews that said the app wouldn't work in the background. Maybe Nintendo just couldn't get it to run in the background on the Switch? That would be quite pitiful for a software developer though.

Either way it sucks and it boggles my mind how anyone could defend this awful decision in a world where pretty much everyone has mobile devices figured out. The fucking Vita can do this shit.
