This move was critized to death (see here for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2OUVNO3ToY ) and these moves are usually critized, *because* they are working. So you construct a strawmen of double standards, that does not exist in reality.

Then you go to outside of VGC where wasn't the point.

You do the typical thing: you treat some people in the fanbase as the whole fanbase. That is the same on other fanbases, other games got critized by some and were highly anticipated by others. The mother of all shady shit, the yearly FIFA and NBA2K-games with Microtransactions and Gold version and whatnot *on top* of a full priced games regularly sell multiple millions. So yes, I am not surprised that Nintendo will sell a lot of this package, even if they employ shady tactics with this limited time shit. Because every fanbase let's the companies get away with this shady shit. Nintendo is not special in this regard.

I have talked about the fanbase on here, you can look this thread, the other thread about this collection and even your good, bad and ugly and you'll see it.

You can try to detract as much as you want with "turning a part of the fanbase as the whole fanbase" that doesn't really change a thing about the truth that yes Nintendo get away with much more than other companies. Please show me the same level of defense for the yearly titles, mtx, dlc, etc of other companies compared to Nintendo.

You point to some posts in this thread and speak about the Nintendo-fanbase on this site, although the fanbase on this site include me and I am critical of this move. Again: applying actions of single persons to a whole group is a bad practice, as a group is made of individuals, who all think and act differently. If you want to criticize posts of certain people, then directly name then and criticize their posts, not applying their actions to the whole Nintendo-fanbase on this site.

So please stop criticizing the whole fanbase, call out the people and posts that are going wrong. But often enough claims of hypocrisis are actually conflating criticism of user A against company X with praise of user B for company Y, by claiming both users are the same (the magic whatever fanbase) and therefore what user A does is also what user B thinks. So in this example: find the users that praise this collection and criticized similar collections of other companies and call them out.

And yes, other companies get away with shit on this site plenty.
