It will be the end of Nintendo. …Eventually. Of course these things take time; and people in general are slow on the uptake; especially uninterested masses.
Eventually though; they will grow too bold; brick a larger number of systems than is absolutely necessary to intimidate people away from piracy and basically piss off the gaming userbase; at which point the Steam Deck and related hardware will likely draw all casuals in.
The change in EULA was the hint; I have not; and will not be buying any Switch 2 games, consoles or related merchandise. Nor will I be paying any further into my Switch beyond NSO as I have or buying any games for the Switch that are not explicitly on a physical cart.
I don’t buy games often anyways and would rather support Pocketpair and Palworld and Valve. So that’s where my discretionary spend and gift requests will go henceforth.
In general Nintendo is having it’s villainous arc; and I don’t believe they will survive it…given that they’ve run out or demoted their creatives and visionaries to workers. Nintendo is dead; what’s left is a greedy and soulless shell that behaves more like a gang or mafia. Given their History; that doesn’t surprise me.

1 - During the first micro-cracks that began to appear when I was still legally a child and beholden to a parent: I didn’t buy female clothes; but I definitely did buy Permanent Markers on many occasions with explicit intent to use them to decorate my body; specifically to color on my legs, ankles, feet and toes (like nail polish style). From designs resembling ladies footwear to just simply painting my nails on my feet I did it all, and frequently did so under the guise of being simply a weird fan of something.
2 - Still the same timeframe as the first note but… How about instead of ever washing off my beautiful bodily ornamentation from my feet, legs, and ankles; I would instead wear high socks and pray with all my mind that the color would soak into my skin and become truly permanent. This usually resulted in me sweating the ink off into my socks, which were white often washed with bleach alongside of underwear, and therefore, my doing so wasn’t noticed, as I handled these wash loads myself.
3 - Surpressed the idea until I was 18 and told my father I wanted to be female to his face. Didn’t change anything about my situation then though, and he didn’t really support it, but he did then realize that this wasn’t just a phase of my youth.
4 - I don’t know about this one for certain; but most probably yes; especially once I actually cracked the first time around 18, and started to really take steps to independence so I could nurture my feminine side, which included things like buying bits of makeup and proper nail polishes like any healthy and sensible girl of my age who had just gained access to cosmetics would have done to feel like she was caring for and adding to her appearance, y’know.
I don’t think I had anything significant to report about number 5; but I think honestly it would likely have been very much real and possible had I been fully aware of trans people existing and transitioning being possible at any point before being able to afford and buy my own internet connection.
