Nintendo shut this loot box thing down around a year ago. So… you know, get over it. It’s already been dead a long time. No, Nintendo is not sprinting along the dark path.

I’m amused that the plaintiff is complaining over $170. A tiny sum for a whale in the scheme of things.



They're working on a class action lawsuit. They just need a few specific people to represent the class.


Sure. It’s still small.


Doesn't matter how small the scam is if it's still a scam.


Nintendo still has one game on the app store (which I'll deliberately avoid naming so as not to give it free advertising) that's even worse than the Mario Kart when it comes to predatory gambling monetization. Their hands aren't clean.


"Nintendo shut this loot box thing down around a year ago"

Not true. A couple months ago, I played MKT for a while. The loot box is alive and well.


I’m curious of anyone can validate that? This article and others appear to claim it is gone.


Its incredible to see someone so strongly supporting Nintendo.

>Company did bad thing

"Oh but they stopped doing the bad thing, no big deal"


idk man, stopping doing a thing that is immensely profitable shows integrity if you ask me.
