  using last-gen hardware in their consoles

  I mean there’s nothing inherently wrong with that (if only they charged last-gen prices as well lol)

  but anyways here’s a bunch more shit they’ve done:

  • killing emulation projects
  • patenting basic gameplay elements
  • sued a man so hard he was forced to pay them part of his income for the rest of his life
  • charging full price for basic rereleases

  and for a few older ones, just to show that they’ve been shitty this whole time, actually:

  • attempting to kill game cheating devices (like the game genie)
  • preventing 3rd parties from releasing games on competitor’s consoles, essentially giving themselves a monopoly
  • attempting to kill video game rentals

    I wouldn’t go as far a stating that it’s mainly a systemic problem. Individual choices also matter to some degree.
