Why Did the Internet Want to Delete Nintendo? Here’s the Real Story

The Viral Poll That Shocked Gamers

A recent social media poll set the gaming world ablaze, especially on the r/PakGamers subreddit. The question was simple but brutal: “If you could delete one gaming company from existence, which one would it be?” The contenders? The giants—PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, and Nintendo. Surprisingly, Nintendo became the top target for deletion, and that sparked some heated debates (and a few tears from Mario fans).

Why Nintendo? And Does It Deserve It?

Nintendo built childhoods and delivered timeless classics—from Mario Kart races to Zelda adventures. So why the sudden hate? Some argue Nintendo plays it too safe or relies too much on nostalgia. Others claim its business practices (hello, pricey remakes and online policies) frustrate modern gamers. But let’s not forget: without Nintendo, there’d be no Pokémon, no Animal Crossing, and certainly no “It’s-a me, Mario!”.

Let’s be honest, if democracy means deleting Nintendo, maybe we need a recount. Sure, every company has its flaws, but Nintendo’s creativity keeps gaming magical. If you voted ‘delete’, are you really a gamer, or just someone who enjoys chaos?
