I mean, the people in charge of Nintendo now aren't those people.

In 50 years, if Microsoft had gone co-op, withdrawn from genocide, removed telemetry, and like half a dozen other things, due to a change in leadership, I'd also not hold that future Microsoft as at fault for current Microsoft.

I also don't hold Volkswagen responsible for the Holocaust, presently. Just the emissions fraud (and maybe more that I can't currently recall).

Those leaders are still Japanese. A country notorious for ignoring and downplaying their atrocities. It's like forgiving a Holocaust denier because they weren't alive to drive the train.
