Nintendo. Anti-Consumer.

Hope your petition goes well I guess..though you could just vote with your wallet and not buy the service.

Zelda Skyward Sword sold around 3.5 million copies during its LT. When Breath of the Wild came out as a response to the criticism of Skyward Sword's linear world, BoTW sold, and continues to sell, over 9+ million copies.

When Smash Bros. Brawl got criticized for tripping and slow gameplay speed, Smash 4 responded with improved speed and better balance of characters (of course, until Bayonetta happened, which I'm mostly neutral on).

When the Wii U flopped, they made the Switch an improved product with better marketing, features that most people seem to care about more than they did with the Wii U, and a better 1st party lineup.

Regardless of what we think of in regards to Nintendo's shortcomings, they wouldn't still be a console manufacturer or a game developer with decent profit/revenue if they didn't listen to feedback.

Is the Online Service perfect? No. Is it a good deal? Probably not for now. Will it improve? It probably will. Is $20/year a good deal? Sure. Beats paying $60 for a PS+ membership that doesn't provide that many interesting free games a month and with online thats not that perfect as people like to report. I've had long waiting times for Overwatch and I've experienced a few matches of lag while playing Street Fighter V, even if people have criticized the netcode.
