They dont have to win them all,they simply have to win a few and set examples.

They better hope the switch 2 sells well to cover it. Imagine if piracy was a criminal crime instead of a civil. Emergency services would have Nintendo calling 24/7.

It's because they have an AI now that sniffs these things out.

All this stuff will most likely be on tor someday

If I could have money I would try to build an anti trust on them.

Yet another reason for me to actively not spend money playing their games.

Why is anybody surprised? They're the worst company ever.

Pretty much

Nuh! The lawyer's payment is so high nowadays at least 70$ so the development now owes the lawyer 10$ :(

@@ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow 🤣

The most recent direct was such ass It feels that way.

The regional laws play huge part in all this. Japan was and is and U.S have become pro corpos and anti-consumer. That shit doesn't and didn't in a couple of cases pass in at least half of EU countries, neither their tactics will work (example, when they can't win they try to drag on the process so the common folk lose and the big tech wins). If U.S change their policies and laws when it comes to consumer rights everything will be better for you but apparently you have to fight for those rights

@@andreamitchell4758 filing a DMCA costs nil.

I think it would be more likely for the DMCA to actually be repealed in its entirety than for that to happen, since that basically amounts to punishing companies for sending DMCA notices. And I highly doubt anyone, even reasonable politicians, might be willing to scrub copyright protection from the statute-book.

😂

You need to stop crying like a crybaby

Or anyone, for that matter. It’s not specific to Nintendo

@@Melonposting meh

Rememeber children: It is not illegeal to emulate or download ROMs/ISO files of your favorite games, just only do it in secret groups that are not public or through word of mouth.

It's not piracy if you don't own what you purchase

My dream is that Nintendo sustains extended losses with failed hardware and are force to pivot to selling software on third party platforms instead. Imagine being able to buy Zelda and Mario games on Steam, officially. I would be first in line even though it's already easy to play them via emulator.

@@The8bitbeard I think Nintendo would fall on their sword and take their Ip's with them. Before putting on other platforms. Maybe it's greed or just a culture thing in Japan, just my two censes.

Unfortunately there are too many casuals that don't care how anticonsumer Nintendo are. They will buy anything Nintendo branded

It's not going to be a commercial or critical flop. You're just projecting your anger onto Nintendo. Even if it were to flop, they have so much money that they can afford to keep taking risks for a very, very, vey long time. You're not winning anything if you believe that you are. People that believe they are hurting Nintendo in any way, form or fashion are delusional, or probably a young teen that believes they are being edgy like on the Yuzu subreddit that say "F Nintendo".

The funny thing the honest possibility of this being true one day is not 0%

@@penix3323 Yes. It's terrifying me

I think they're preparing for something big beyond gaming

Drugs, they doing drugs

You think it’s cuz they want more investors????

Feels more like panicking. You do that if you are insecure about your small pp... I mean Switch

you mean "Tf is Nintendoin"

So you will not have your money going to Nintendo anymore or you going to still spend your money on the Nintendo Chooser option

​@@blackice1994 perfect question. Not even a penny for craptendo.

To be perfectly accurate, Nindo _always_ has money. even during that period they had billions in the bank. The CEO did that as an effort to take personally responsibility for the failure of the product more than to save jobs, it's a very Japanese thing to do.

But why are they gonna improve their hardware if they sell asFK with the actual status of the console? Soon the switch sales will reach PS2's sales.

Iwata was a good dude but it was Japanese culture and labour law that lay behind his decision too. And Nintendo was aggressively protective even back then…not to mention sending DMCA claims doesn’t really cost anything. If anything it’s probably down to increased awareness of fan work on their part + probably the use of AI to process and send DMCA notices faster and across a wider scope than ever before.

Actually the countries that are owned by corporations are corrupt. It's just often that kind of corruption is legal there and called "lobbyism". On other hands countries that don't give a flying shit about *foreign* laws are often just independent.

Or upload them to a porn site lol.

@@shadowflash705 by corrupt I meant some country that would take money to register a website and ignore international laws, some tax haven type place. Baffles me you would host a "problematic" website on the united states or Europe

Like North Korea? 😂

​​@@BugsideYou'd want to use a Russian domain for this, actually. So yes, we do have a means to ward off DMCAs.

The thing is most of their good games are not in other platforms. And those are many games.

@@Ocelot04 ? They have not a single game that isn't available on at least one other platform (pc)

​@@blackice1994What do you mean?, are you thinking in giving craptendo more money?

@@Raylightsen this is your answer I know you know what is a traitor is I never brought a Nintendo switch and I will not going to at all in the first place. I'm going to tell you a secret why you think a Nintendo doing this they do not care about the Western Department because you keep buying a crappy ass products Nintendo never been high quality they always been low quality. And see stupid people like you buy day product Nintendo switch product is a low quality like the Wii U was .?

“Until things settle down” no until they CHANGE

Nintendo has targeted casuals and general audiences for years, and those just so happen to include the people detached enough not to care as much about deeper gaming discourse and issues in gaming, including the emulation issue. This means Nintendo benefits from its target fanbase being less aware of the current state of gaming, giving it more leeway to do what it likes without reckoning with heavy public pushback. And on top of that many people are emotionally attached to Nintendo games, particularly due to exposure at their most easily influenced period (childhood), which results in a warm and fuzzy view of Nintendo and their products that’s harder to shake. What all this means is that their crusade against emulation will be very slow to make any kind of noticeable impact on their sales…plus, even if it could, they might probably just interpret it as a problem with the games or console instead of with their business strategy.

@@jxwong_3982 I believe that LONG TERM, After all the people who grew up with classic Nintendo are no longer there, Nintendo will adapt or die.

@@VerbDoesStuff Well, you've seen how many people paid for and enjoyed the Mario Movie (especially kids), and how many kids right now are playing games on the Switch or some other recent Nintendo system because their parents bought them one. Nintendo can bleed a few people who grow up and become adults, and who might even realise Nintendo's nostalgia-marketing schemes and detach themselves from their psychological marketing tactics, because Nintendo can count on a revolving door of new fans at a young and tender age coming in to have their brains moulded into adoring fans, and on a large majority of casual players who are simply detached enough from gaming discourse that they couldn't give a damn about the emulation issue and just want to play some games in the most obvious way possible. What Nintendo does by going after fan works and emulation doesn't do their reputation any favours, but I fear that it doesn't do it much harm either for this particular group-in fact, the success of legal action may bolster people's beliefs in the whole "Nintendo's way is the right way and everyone else they went after was unlawful", in something of a weird opposite counterpart to the oft-cited Gabe Newell principle. Piracy may be a problem of service and convenience, but its public image among the majority of casual fans may instead be a problem of publicity and "spin". Now, of course, all of this depends on parents introducing the Nintendo drug to their kids, so a wider shift in consciousness among Nintendo parents may trickle down and affect fan consciousness across the board, prompting new change. Perhaps with enough aggressive legal action that interferes with stuff most casual players are likely to actually care about, enough negative public opinion might arise for Nintendo to be pushed into changing its tune. But with an audience that's already less likely to be in tune with gaming news and discourse by virtue of its very nature, it should be understood that it's not simple at all for such a change to materialise.

@@jxwong_3982 Wow, thank you for that well-thought-out and articulate response!

Because people keep buying their products. For Nintendo to take the hint, people need to stop buying Nintendo products which convincing people to do that would not be easy to say the least.

I personally love allot of their products, mostly retro though. I haven't owned a new product from them since the wii and ds though. I got my N3DS second hand, along with all of its games and just emulate the switch. Their quality though has seen a noticeable decline over the years.

Nintendo still manages to have support primarily because they’re that good at capturing the public consciousness. Right from the start, Nintendo’s been appealing to less hardcore gaming crowds, casual players and the general public for ages, providing them with an easier-to-influence captive audience who’s less familiar with gaming discourse, controversies in the gaming sphere, and what other publishers and hardware makers are doing, giving them less of a basis of comparison for Nintendo’s weaknesses. This allows Nintendo to get away with a LOT of what they do. The effect is particularly pronounced since Nintendo appeals to kids so much by virtue of its family-friendly games, allowing it to capture the preferences of people right from a tender and easy-to-influence age when they’re still developing their emotions and preferences. Call it indoctrination if you will-this instills a lifelong attachment to Nintendo’s games and, by association, the company themselves, which can become harder to buck even with awareness of their controversies. Effectively, Nintendo gets away with being an obsessive control freak IP landlord (as well as with its many other instances of anti-consumer or outright dated practices) so often because it’s built such a name for itself in the industry from years of targeted marketing, cultural integration, multimedia and merchandise, all culminating in a devoted and faithful psychological attachment or acquiescence among the people that make up a large proportion of their consumer base.

Well then someone needs to get into the headquarters computer networks to find out who the lawyer's names are and spread awareness so people would know who the heck is the one causing these DMCA's/Takedown notices in the first place. Unless we know who these people are, then we're playing a game of cat & mouse+whack a mole in order to find other ways to keep these stuff up long after they haven't been supported in a long time.

Stupid fools. They don't earn a thing with that. They just making excuses for shareholdings as a curtain for their gaming production innactivity. All these small sites, vilely used a scapegots, will never promote shitendo ever again. Ever!

Nintendo found a DMCA button and they can't stop playing with it.

their *broken* DMCA system. If it worked, respected fair use and needed actual legal proof to have the right to DMCA take something down, half of their takedowns simply wouldn't have worked.

Projects like that do exist, just search around for things like "Sega Megadrive IDE" and various homebrew and wiki development sites. SGDK is an example, as well as CA65. 😄 They aren't an exact copy and don't make everything as easy, but they function as really good starting points. 😄

As if anyone unironically calls Twitter "X"

He will

This was the last straw for me at least. I’m never giving Nintendo another cent.

Most of their sales are parents buying for their kids, both of whom are definitely unaware why to boycott

@@johnkimberly Yeah but Sony does not seem to mind emulation, it is Nintendo who seems to have issues.
