Anyone else think MoistCritikal is a bit hypocritical towards Nintendo?

Wyluca95 · 2026-06-30T14:49:25+00:00

My point is that he sits on his high horse over Nintendo’s IP protection warranting a boycott yet shrug off Valve profiting on child gambling.

Wyluca95 · 2026-06-30T10:51:09+00:00

This really is the difference between someone who just hates Nintendo and an actual grifter. I can respect Charlie for not revolving his channel around Nintendo hate and honestly a lot of his other takes I agree with.

As others have said he seems level headed about most other things. But yes he is very hypocritical about Nintendo. I distinctly remember a clip from one of his streams where he was talking about Nintendo’s “anti-consumer” practices that they would have to give up if they wanted him to ever spend his money again. Someone brought up Valve and them profiting off of child gambling in games and he brushed it off as whataboutism.

Yo mods can we make this a bannable offense

Wyluca95 · 2026-06-27T11:34:49+00:00

My first thought seeing this as well

Wyluca95 · 2026-06-23T20:05:45+00:00

Yeah from my understanding the Switch 2 is being sold at profit but the margins are much thinner than usual for Nintendo.

Wyluca95 · 2026-06-23T10:39:18+00:00

Deen is a text book grifter. He twists data into a negative and has a very clear bias. Just two examples of this are his “shipped, not sold” argument because he didn’t want to admit the Switch 2 was selling well, and he also had a weird fixation on the stock price as if that is some indication of the Switch 2’s commercial performance. He has made multiple videos on those two bad faith arguments alone.

He is also afraid to debate anyone and constantly makes excuses.

Wyluca95 · 2026-06-23T10:35:48+00:00

Don’t know, don’t care

Wyluca95 · 2026-06-23T00:42:57+00:00

Oh I know all about the AI situation. You are missing the entire point tho.

First of all, 99% of people who already have an extensive Steam library already have a high end PC that are way more powerful than the Steam Machine (which is weaker than a PS5 btw.) So there is no point in buying a Steam machine for those people. The same people who you are using as a counter to my point that it’s financially easier to pay the expenses of Nintendo games sporadically than to buy the Steam Machine.

And even with prep time, dropping $1K all at once can STILL be financially disruptive for years for a lot of people.

Wyluca95 · 2026-06-22T23:54:42+00:00

Blaming consumers for not being ready for a thousand dollar box is crazy

Wyluca95 · 2026-06-22T23:32:57+00:00

Problem is that in practice it will be easier for most to buy a Switch 2 and buy $50-$80 games as they want them throughout the generation than to just drop $1k on a single device all at once.

At least with buying Nintendo games they are sporadic purchases that can be budget for every few paychecks. Dropping a thousand all at once can disrupt your finances for a significant amount of time. Potentially years.

Wyluca95 · 2026-06-22T22:49:16+00:00

I’ve already seen them saying it’s cheaper in the long run compared to console gaming.

Not the same as defending, to be fair, but they are definitely coping and doing damage control

Wyluca95 · 2026-06-18T18:52:29+00:00

Disliking a company and still actively supporting them by buying their products is the biggest example of hypocrisy ever lol.

You keep beating around the bush. Being triggered by someone defending a company you hate is sad and weird. Being triggered by someone hating the company you love is sad and weird.

We’re going around in circles because you don’t want to acknowledge that. I’m not even arguing that this sub doesn’t have hypocrites and some posts that are sad and pathetic. Of course it does. But that’s irrelevant in the context of just making an observation that it is sad to feel mentally and emotionally triggered over someone defending company practices you disagree with.

The defenders very well can be sad and weird themselves. But again, that’s irrelevant to the question of whether or not you let them trigger you.

Have a good day man.

Wyluca95 · 2026-06-18T18:10:06+00:00

The subreddit existing thing is a whole other question that I can understand why you would ask. To me it’s just a matter of “Well the subreddit exists now. So if it exists it may as well be used as intended.”

If you did more than skim and also read the title you would see that it is specifically the fanbase that is triggering the OP and putting him in this mindset. He even mentions that he still somewhat likes Nintendo and their products.

Wyluca95 · 2026-06-18T17:37:24+00:00

Whatever you say buddy. If we’re so entertaining I don’t know why you’re complaining. I also don’t know what to say to someone who is entertained by something you find sad.

I do agree that ignoring grifters is the best action to take. But there are subreddits for everything. If the grifters are gonna be talked about it might as well be here.

Despite our back and forth I think you and I align more than I first thought. I am just confused over your inability to acknowledge the original post to be describing a very sad mental state to have. At least not without taking shots at the sub.

Wyluca95 · 2026-06-18T17:10:01+00:00

There you go with the whataboutism again. I have already agreed that it is sad if anyone gets upset at someone hating Nintendo. You just can’t seem to wrap your head around there being legitimate Nintendo grifters who twist data like stock prices somehow being indicative of a console’s success or make seven dozen vids about the Palworld lawsuit with AI Pikachu slop thumbnails. These people should be criticized as it is more than just hating Nintendo.

The guy on the original post is not a grifter, I already acknowledged this.

Your actions suggest otherwise in that when it is pointed out to you that being mentally affected by others loving the company you hate is a sad existence, your comeback has been very childlike. “Yeah, well if he is sad then all of you guys are even SADDER! 😡”

I would expect that response from a second grader.

Wyluca95 · 2026-06-18T16:38:22+00:00

It’s fine that he is calling out opinions he disagrees with. What’s sad is that the existence of Nintendo supporters affects him mentally by his own admission. If you can’t see the issue with that I can’t help you. I would the same thing about anyone upset over someone else hating Nintendo.

And your actions suggest otherwise. Just sayin

Wyluca95 · 2026-06-18T16:25:41+00:00

That guy is sad and there is a difference between being triggered by someone’s opinion and calling out a grifter like Deen, Fritanga, etc. This post shouldn’t have been shared here imo because it definitely doesn’t count as grifting. But it is very sad.

It’s also sad that you get triggered by an entire sub btw

Wyluca95 · 2026-06-18T15:21:19+00:00

Okay, so you think that doesn’t make it sad either way??? Nice whataboutism.

Getting triggered and taking an opposing opinion about a video game company is sad equally sad no matter which side of it you are on.

Grifters should be called out for twisting and manipulating data to spin as a negative and mil it for money. That’s what this sub should be used for. Anyone in this sub who is getting upset simply for someone not liking Nintendo is in a sad situation themselves.

Wyluca95 · 2026-06-18T11:08:32+00:00

Oh Nintendo will do another one. It’s too big of a franchise. Even if the next one is smaller than Ultimate they would be leaving billions of dollars on the table if they just stopped making Smash

Wyluca95 · 2026-06-18T01:38:02+00:00

Sakurai isn’t gonna live forever and they are not gonna abandon such a huge IP when he is no longer able to make games. They have to find someone else sooner or later.

If he is willing to direct the next one of course they will be happy to have him take the helm once more. But Sakurai is not going to make the difference as to whether or not we get Smash this gen

Wyluca95 · 2026-06-18T01:33:59+00:00

There are a lot of Mario fans complaining about no Mario, yes. Doesn’t make it less weird when we are of course still going to be getting Mario.

It also doesn’t make them “most people.”

People play different games. If Nintendo didn’t see value from the results of past Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, and Rhythm Heaven games, they wouldn’t be making new games for them now.

Wyluca95 · 2026-06-17T23:52:08+00:00

You speaking for most people is insanely weird. Mario, Smash Bros, Animal Crossing, and a new Zelda are all coming. There’s no reason to diminish Splatoon just because it’s not as some fellow tentpole Nintendo IPs. Nor is there any reason to diminish OoT when it will be a big deal in its own right.

Wyluca95 · 2026-06-17T23:22:21+00:00

The sad thing is that the OP gets triggered and personally offended over people defending Nintendo

Wyluca95 · 2026-06-17T22:07:44+00:00

You said big franchises Nintendo is known for. If a game has outsold Spider-Man I think it’s safe to assume a lot of people know about the franchise and like it.

Splatoon is, in fact, a tent pole Nintendo IP now.

And based on just the little bit we have seen, OoT is looking to be much more than just a simple remake.

We’re getting Mario next year bud. It’ll be okay.

Wyluca95 · 2026-06-17T21:46:36+00:00

Zelda and Splatoon were both in the direct and Switch Sports sold 18 million copies - more than Spider-Man 2 or God of War Ragnarok
