Nintendo is literally a depressing company right now…
I am amazed at how evil a company can be. Well, if pirating any company‘s content was ever morally justified, its nintendo‘s.
Nintendo really doesn’t know how the Internet works, do they?
It’s Nintendo. I’m not shocked it happened… just that it took this long. Its fairly common hear about some fangame or mod via gaming news, and then two weeks later see the headline, “Legend of Mariotroid has been DMCA’d”
And this Nintendo is why people pirate your shit… cause you’re a shit company.
Question for those that do: do you also pirate indie games? I am also inclined to just pirate Nintendo games as I already do on my 2DS, but I’d kinda feel bad about not giving money to actually good developers like Supergiant Games
Edit: Not sure about the downvotes. I’m asking a genuine question
There are very few companies that are able to reach my only if used or stolen classification. Nintendo has managed to reach the not even if used or stolen classification.
Yeah, I have Nestle marked as “die before using their products”.
And that’s why I quit buying and playing their shit. They’re so shitty they don’t deserve my money. 🖕
I started emulating Switch this year and played Breath of the Wild for the first time on Yuzu through with 130 hours. And I’m proud of it.
I dream of one day Nintendo going bankrupt and being forced to sell their IPs to the highest bidder.
Man, did they recently hire a bunch of Disney lawyers or what?
They’ve always been like this, just ask an emulator developer
Or fan game developer. Or data miner. Or gaming youtuber. Or game tournament staff. Or the former actors of their various official “news” video segments. Or former American contractors for them (lots of “fun” stories from the 90’s and 00’s).
And how can we forget? Their 11th hour backstabbing of Sony on the planned CD addon for the SNES, choosing instead to go with Phillips to make the CD-i, is the whole reason Sony even entered the console wars. Out of fucking spite. The Playstation was originally planned to be a SNES addon like the Sega CD.
So I guess that’s one upside to their shittyness.
This. Look at their recent move against the Smash Bros tournament scene.
Look at their love/hate relationship with Splatoon and how their lies and abuse have killed off a once vibrant community and budding e-sport that at one point had several major tournaments.
Or rom sites. I think it was Nintendo that had Emuparadise shut down.
It’s hilariously pathetic that a bunch of lawyers convinced the people at Nintendo to waste their time doing this shit.
There is zero percent overlap between janky Garry’s mod custom assets with Nintendo sales of their polished AAA games except to probably drive sales of Nintendo games to a degree.
I think the issue is Mario being used with guns and other stuff, it’s detrimental to their image.
You also lose the trademarks you don’t defend. If Nintendo was found to knowingly not pursue those that infringe in their trademarks then they a court could allow someone else to use that trademark.
Nintendo isnt a company at this point it’s a mafia of below average games.
It’s living off zelda and mariokart
Which is amazing considering the new Zelda’s are dog shit compared to their predecessors.
