Destructoid: Nintendo systematically subjects their fans to emotional abuse

Basically, Destructoid has compared Nintendo to the conniving, sexual carnivore Dennis from the TV series "It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia," who has a system called "D.E.N.N.I.S." which he uses to emotionally abuse women so that they'll have sex with him.

After thinking about it (and reading the Destructoid community's reaction to the Nintendo/Dennis connection), I started to realize Nintendo and Always Sunny's lecherous sociopath have way more in common, and that the D.E.N.N.I.S. System may well be applied to the company's business strategy in its entirety.

Nintendo might be taking lessons from the show as it perfects the art of seducing fans and breaking their hearts for its own sordid gains.

While the system is designed for Dennis to trick women into having sex with him before abandoning them, its applications in business are frightening, and Nintendo's mastery of it is absolute. Like Dennis, Nintendo is able to seduce and conquer its fans by demonstrating value, engaging physically, nurturing dependence, neglecting emotionally, inspiring hope, and then separating entirely. Do you remain skeptical? Read on and understand.

So what do you all think? Has Nintendo mastered the art of building an emotionally attached fanbase, who through systematic abuse will remain loyal despite Nintendo's deliberate and intentional neglect of their needs?

Nintendo and th DENNIS system... Well done, TC. I will read this article. And I will read it in its entirety. It is one of the rare topics worthy of that.

Sterling article? NOPE.

Also cool sig, Luna is cool.

@ 7:15 I imagine Reggie chocking a Nintendo fanboy :lol:

it's always cloudy in chicago?

what??

Video game "journalists" and "analysts" make concentration camps sound like a great idea. Luckily, if the video game industry actually does collapse, those parasites will go down before everyone else.

[QUOTE="funsohng"] ........ It's Cosette from Les Miserables. She symbolizes absolute innocent. I have it there because I value that symbolism, and I found the movie extremely watchable. Just because I have a little girl on my sig doesn't mean I find the girl sexually attractive. Even the accusation of that and how you came up with it is just beyond disturbing. Seriously. Really?funsohng

I think I've always thought of Nintendo being an underachiever, like they could be so much more with a more powerful system for example. I've often thought that they don't give out their 100%, that they always keep holding back. Like they have this huge amount of potential that they're just throwing away. Recently I've started to think that maybe they're trying as hard as they can and this is the best they can do. 

Maybe they're just keeping their business safe, they did take a HUGE risk with the Wii so I don't know.

I don't care about Destructoid but Nintendo is a terrible company that makes really awesome games. If you are a gamer, you have no reason to like this company besides their game quality. They suck at everything else really hard.

there really nothing else to be good at honestly

[QUOTE="jessejay420"][QUOTE="Timstuff"]You clearly don't read a lot of books or watch any live theater. Varieties of that image have always synonymous with Les Miserables. That's like saying that someone having the poster for The Ring makes them a pedo because it has a young girl in it, never minding any context whatsoever to what the story is.RyanShazam

Are they saying Nintendo s**g sheep? :P

I'm going to read this article purely because it mentions the legendary D.E.N.N.I.S. System.

A totally foolproof approach to any female I might add.
