I absolutely despise it.

Charging for online is annoying, but I don't mind too much because I don't particularly care about playing online. But locking games behind a crappy subscription services really pisses me off. Just let me buy the old N64 etc. games on the eshop. I'd get some of them for a one off purchase fee, I'm definitely not paying a subscription for them though. Subscriptions are a massive ripoff as far as I'm concerned, but as far as I'm aware Nintendo Online is the only one where it's mandatory for certain games, rather than just 1 option of many. I've no issue with Gamepass etc. because I also have the option of buying the games instead of wasting money on a subscription, why can't I have that option with Nintendo?
