Summary:

Nintendo has discontinued support for X (formerly Twitter) integration on the Nintendo Switch console.
The reason for pulling support is likely due to pricing changes to the X API, which now starts at $42,000 a month for enterprise customers.
Microsoft and Sony also removed X integration from their consoles (Xbox and PS5/PS4) last year, but didn't specify the reason.
Slack, a communication platform, also pulled support for X integration due to the API updates impacting its functionality.
Console gamers will no longer be able to connect directly with X, despite the X Gaming account claiming that its "partnership with Nintendo remains strong" in a now-deleted post.

Interesting that X only pays you that much to include their integratio-

Oh, they want YOU to pay THEM...!?
