Does anyone remember Miiverse? To those who don't recall, it was a social media website created by Nintendo for the Wii U and 3DS system. Recently, it shut down. It was said it was because people where not using it anymore and it was too off-topic, I but I know the truth. I know why they did it.
I was a intern at Nintendo in America, working as a game tester for the North American releases for games. Everything was good, I got to play video games for a job, until my parents said I needed to get a paying job. I was bummed, but I understood. When I was leaving the building for the last time, a strange man who I never seen before in my life came up to me and told me to smash my Wii U system and walked away. Why did he tell me this? Odd, I thought.
I entered the house and headed right away to my games. My Wii U in particular was looking good, so I booted it up and got ready to play. I even turned up the volume as loud as the tv could go (I should point out my parents weren't home at the time). After a while, I deiced to check out Miiverse and go and ruin some kids RP when a message popped up on the screen:
"You're ability to yeah posts and comment has been regstircted"
Damn it, I snarled. I guess I could just look at the posts and comments, but there was no point. My finger hovered over the home button when another message popped up on the screen
"You have been promoted to a admin"
I was very confused at this point. Was this a thing? I've never seen anyone get promoted to a admin. Actually, I was kinda excited. I had the power to ban anyone I wanted for no reason. I immediately went on and banned everyone I had beef with, which was a lot of people. After that, satisfied, I went to press the home button. But the home screen was different this time. I had no games, no one in the Plaza. It was all blank except for the Miiverse button. I shrugged, and turned off system and turned on the news. The first thing that popped up on the news was something that shocked me: "12 children were murdered" Wait. I banned 12 kids. Could that have been because of Me?
That's when I heard it. The sound of the door opening behind me. The same strange man from before smiled at me. "I told you," he said, "to destroy it."
I connected the dots myself. Kids that were banned were huntted down by the admins. Nintendo wanted to end Miiverse so no more kids would die.
That's the reason why Nintendo shut down Miiverse.
