And it seems you don't know what the initial reason for this discussion was.

First of all, Sony and Nintendo partner with other companies rather than building their own server structure does not necessarily mean that free cloud savings would let them go bankrupt. Even if the financial burden would be too high, it would still be their own fault that they can not offer this service for free. They decided to rely on third party internet infrastructure.

That's why I said "Nintendo is charging money for cloud saves because they can."
They just want to make a little of bit extra money from people who aren't interested in their mediocre online subscription.

You're acting as if any business in existence owes you something when in fact neither Sony nor Nintendo do which is why if the financial burden is an issue they add subscriptions the same way countries adjust taxes to sort out issues or add to their infrastructure it's unrealistic to expect companies to invest in something unrelated to their business years before it becomes a factor in their field, you're essentially arguing in hindsight it would be like saying the US should have anti aircraft guns locked and loaded to stop the Pearl Harbour incident.

They're charging money because it's part of the service package that's what it comes down to.

Well, I am a consumer. It's true that no company owes me anything, but I also owe them nothing. All I'm interested in is getting the best service possible. Nintendo does not provide that service for me, so I'm vocal about it.
