Nintendo shares statement on how they handle online abuse
Coming from a Nintendo rep...
"Nintendo firmly rejects the harassment of any individual in any form, including through social media or online game play. We take steps to support and protect our employees through policies based on best practices in this area and consistently evolve that approach as online harassment grows more complex and challenging.
We also seek to maximize consumers’ enjoyment of our games and experiences by limiting their exposure to negative communications and online interactions.
But it takes more than the best efforts of any one company to protect an individual being harassed online. Nintendo is committed to continuing its work within the industry and the broader community to ensure that people can both work and play without the fear of hate-fueled attacks."
