          Yeah. There’s video game companies that literally make games that are used for military training (sometimes purpose-made, sometimes just as a sideeffect of making the game they want to make), and Nintendo is definitely not that company.

      Japan got up to some shit in world war 2. Nintendo had some military contracts.

      I will not elaborate, and i don’t think you want me to.

        OK. I won’t push you for the details, since you’ve stated you will not elaborate.

        But, for anyone else reading, I honestly want to know what these terrible things were; it matters to me how companies behave and have behaved in the past. I cannot for the life of me find anything online, bar like “they did some propaganda (but so did many other companies)”. Please weigh in if you know.

          Nintendo has sued a guy so hard he needs to pay nintendo for the rest of his life. I think this is not really on the level of crimes against humanity as the other companies on the meme, and the meme is actually edited to replace a millitary company with nintendo.

          I’ve never heard of nintendo doing millitary stuff. Everything I see online says that nintendo’s main business until the 70s was printing hanafuda cards. Its pretty easy to find out about ibm’s involvement in the holocaust though.

          You really don’t want to know the war crimes Luigi has committed.

          That is why he got so much PTSD in Luigi’s Mansion.
