It's not directly Nintendo, but Pokemon Go is adjacent and is still an absolute cash cow loaded with mobile cancer. Pushing back against that kind of moneymaking potential is quixotic in any corporation.

People have no idea how strong Nintendo Marketing(aka brainwashing) is. Pokemon is such a solid brand because we used to watch a 30 minute commercial every Saturday for it.

At what point is Nintendo's ability to manipulate us with their corporate mascots/IP a type of mental illness or cause for public concern?
