Nobody wants to do business with ~~unstable~~ nazis.
Any company that appeals to conservatives loves to do business with Nazis.
How I wish that were true.
Nah, plenty of people want to do business with nazis. Unfortunately.

Nobody wants to do business with unstable ~~nazis~~ people
Plenty of businesses ready and willing to do business with stable (and rich) Nazis, dictators and slavers. Look at the line of people and businesses more than ready to make deals with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, China, etc
If you are rich and have a stable government, there's no amount of human rights violations and genocides stopping corrupt fuckers from trying to make deals with you and profit.

There are stable ones?
There are stable geniuses, but I want nothing to do with them.

Ha ha! Fuck you Elon. Way to make your shitty platform irrelevant faster.
I would be interested to know how much of Twitter's use was from these integrations. This could be an absolute drop in the bucket.
I used this exclusively to get screenshots off my switch easily. Still very happy about bigger companies cutting ties with the muskrat.
Getting screenshots or videos off the Switch is laughably arcane. Nintendo is so weird about modern tech conveniences.

You're likely right. At the same time, consoles integrating Twitter made it look more legitimate, like a part of people's daily lives. Twitter's legitimacy continues to decline.
Worse by every metric. "The Wealthiest Man in the World's Crisis Purchase Putrifies"
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.
$42,000 a month
Fucks sake
Interesting that X only pays you that much to include their integratio-
Oh, they want YOU to pay THEM...!?
Good. Frankly at this point if you're still on on Twitter I think it's suspicious.
Long past that point... If your not on mastodon I don't really care what you have to say. Bluesky is just another capitalist platform used to motize working class people's content.
I've oddly seen lemmy posts on mastodon lately and it kinda secured to me this is the real "web 3.0"
If you're on social media I don't really care what you have to say, if it was anything important it would be in traditional medias.
🙄 what a brain dead take. Why didn't you go with, "nobodies idea has any value unless they get paid to said it" fuck your stupid ass hierarchy.
Whoosh!
Obviously 😅

They should stop posting company business on Twitter, too.
You're reading too much into this. I'm sure it was because of lack of usage
Yeah can't be become it's 42k usd a month for th api npw
According to the article, Twitter is also charging $42,000 minimum for enterprise access. That's over $500k per year. If I was a Nintendo employee, I would not only cut that expense, but also use it as leverage for a massive end of year bonus.
use it as leverage for a massive end of year bonus.
Hahahahaha. Right. Like saving the company any money comes back as a bonus to the person. Best we can do is a shitty award on slightly thicker 8.5”x11” paper.

And nothing of value was lost. I can't imagine ever wanting to read a tweet from somebody's console game.
The point was to be able to send clips from your games directly to social media.
Right, that seems obvious. That's what I was talking about being of no value. Nobody needs to watch anyone's console game clips on Twitter.
But what if they're riding a horse and the horse does something silly? What then?
I do enjoy seeing a horse rocketing off into the stratosphere or using the skeletal animation from a bipedal NPC.
No one believes me, but I actually got pretty close to the horse in very far away horse, but no tweets to prove it unfortunately.
I get we hate Twitter and rightfully so, but you really don’t see the value for a direct pipeline from consoles to a major social media platform?
People watching other people play video games (streaming, esports, etc) is a multi-billion dollar industry lol
Yeah sharing fun clips or a screenshot from a game you're playing seems as valid as posting any other video or picture you've taken to social media.
The headache of moving it from console -> phone/computer as well. Too many steps usually.
The switch does it really weirdly too.
You have to disconnect from wifi so it can create it's own hotspot, you connect your phone to that connection, then it hosts a little web server where you can open it up and download your shit.
I mean I guess it's better than xbox or playstations method which I honestly have no figured out yet. Not that I've really tried.

I think there are much better social media platforms for sharing clips. From what I've seen, most of Twitter is people angrily typing opinions at each other, so your target demographic may not be there. The UI is designed for text rather than video, and responses/reactions don't integrate nicely with videos.
Sharing game clips on video-oriented social media makes a tonne sense, however.
Remember, this was established over a decade ago with the PS4/Xbone. It was a very different landscape then.
Regardless Twitter or not, the use case for console -> social media seems pretty clear to me

Nobody needs ~~to watch anyone's console game clips on~~ Twitter.
FTFY
My brother lives far away from me. Sometimes he uploads game play directly from his PS5 onto YouTube and I get a notification. Don't necessarily watch it for the content but it's nice to see his clips pop 9n my feed.
Some ppl used the Twitter integration to export screenshots from their Nintendo Switch since it didn't require USB or MTP

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The integration was removed as part of the Nintendo Switch’s 18.1.0 update, taking away the ability for users to link their X account with the console, or post in-game screenshots from Super Smash Bros.
The removal of these features comprised the majority of the 18.1.0 update, which also includes some general stability improvements and ditches support for linking social media accounts via the Switch’s Friend Suggestions feature.
Nintendo announced these changes last month but didn’t explicitly state the reason for pulling support for X.
Given Switch users can still share their content to Facebook, it likely has something to do with pricing changes to the X API which now starts at $42,000 a month for enterprise customers.
Microsoft didn’t mention X’s API update when it removed the ability for Xbox consoles to share game uploads to the service last April, nor did Sony when it followed suit in November for the PS5 and PS4.
Cost may not be the only factor as Slack said it had also pulled support because the API updates impacted the functionality of its own X integration, but regardless of the reason, console gamers will now have a hard time connecting directly with the platform.
The original article contains 272 words, the summary contains 199 words. Saved 27%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
They all have ways to send screenshots to the mobile apps if I’m not mistaken and with Twitter jacking up API prices since Elon took over, it makes perfect sense just to discontinue support
I mean 50k per license por console seems insane
