	<htmltext>The only reason I kept my Wii is because of all the homebrew you can run on it. If it weren't for that I'd have sold it a long time ago. Why is Nintendo so eager to alienate everyone who isn't a housewive or a "casual gamer"? Why are they trying so hard to alienate their entire former fanbase? First they stomp down on the fanmade Zelda movie, now they're prowling around sueing everyone they don't like. Why? As if piracy is really hindering their profits. The main customers for Nintendo are now casual gamers who don't even know about homebrew and therefore shove enough money down Nintendos throat anyway. Everyone else wouldn't want to buy or keep a Wii on the account of there being less and less worthwile games, so the result is that Nintendo is actually losing business by hunting down everything piracy- and homebrew related.

I know I'm gonna get modded down as Flamebait, but I don't care.</htmltext>
