Hey, Nestle may have murdered a bunch of infants in Africa in the name of profits, but that's nothing compared to charging $80s for Switch 2 games /s

Making me pay $80 for Mario Kart World impacts me way more directly than a company exploiting public water resources, ergo Nintendo is more evil than Nestle.
I think their active work against unions is the big one for me.
2022 NLRB complaints accuse Nintendo of America (and staffing partner Aston Carter) of firing testers after union questions, coercing workers, and treating long-term contractors as second-class citizens. Multiple former employees confirmed low pay, isolation from benefits, and retaliation fears.

Nestle. A little child labor never hurt anyone, but an $80 Mario game!? Fuuuuccccckkkkk!!!
Seriously though, fuck all of them. Nintendo is an excessively litigious piece of shit company.
Nestle also makes coffee crisp, which is worth it.

Making overpriced games is more evil than murdering hundreds of people? Do you hear yourself?

Then clearly you're not familiar with their history, or have never had to pay for your own shelter.
