I don’t think folks remember how truly shitty Nintendo‘s online service was when it was free. The fact is these companies will not put meaningful resources into them unless they are directly generating revenue. I hate it, but that’s reality.

It's still shitty even now that you pay for it. The free retro emulation doesn't offset the connection issues and massive lag, nor does it excuse the god awful store.
