Nintendo doesn't give AF about poor people.

They aren't your friends, they don't care about you - they care about the money in your pocket.

They know they are too big to fail, so they are gonna raise prices 50% no problem.

I'd wager most video game companies don't

Why would they? Not saying it's right, but there's literally zero motivation for them to focus on people who can't buy their products. They are a luxury good.

They are a company who exists to make money, not entertain us, despite that being what they say (in order to sell more). Them, and every other for profit company in the world.

No for-profit company does as they don't get money from them. This is not caring about anyone who's not wealthy.
