Nintendo can’t take Elon Musk’s X, formerly known as Twitter, API fees anymore.
Starting on June 10, direct integration from Switch’s image album to X will no longer function, Nintendo said on Wednesday, according to EnGadget.
All three major console makers have pulled the plug on native screen-sharing to X along with Nintendo’s departure.
In response, X’s official gaming account posted a bizarre, downright Orwellian reply that neglects its central role in the Mario maker’s exit.
"Our partnership with Nintendo remains strong, and we are working together to ensure a smooth transition for all users," @xGaming said.
"We will continue collaborating with partners to bring new and exciting experiences to our global gaming community."
Ironically, X’s built-in reader context feature filled in the omitted subtext.
“This is in direct response to X changing their API," the user-generated context says.
"Specifically, X is charging companies upwards of $40,000 or more per month to access its API. Sony’s PlayStation and Microsoft’s Xbox already removed integration with X last year."
Access to the cheapest Enterprise API plan for The Dumpster Fire, formerly known as Twitter, starts at $42,000 monthly, as per Wired.
Notably, higher tiers can allegedly cost $125,000 and $210,000 per month.
The $42,000 (or more) monthly cost is not likely to sound like much to these mega-corporations, but it appears that even they have their limits.
