I'll never understand why Nintendo went from giving us their classic games through eShop to locking them behind a subscription. One of their all time stupidest decisions.

Money. Pretty simple, unfortunately. So many games I doubt were being purchased as many were smaller classic titles. Most players would've mainly bought the big hitters. And then it's just a one-time purchase.

Nintendo has now infinitely monetized their classic games behind a sub service that also bundles in online play and cloud saves. 2 things that console players have come to rely on.

All companies would much rather have an infinite source of revenue rather than a one-time purchase.

Well they better guarantee NSO is around forever.
