@J.A.Z-TheMortal 26 күн бұрын

Its their modus operandi. Since the Wii era the will develop their consoles using the cheapest, and least powerful hardware on the market - even if they have better options *just for a few extra dollars* (Never forget that they had the option to use a Tegra X1 plus edition or even the Tegra X2 was just a few weeks away, and both where offered by NVDIA) but nope! They'll use the weakest of the weakest, the cheapest hardware and since the end product MSRP will look like a bargain to their fans, they get away with it all the time. Lets not forget that they also wanted to release the Switch with a miserable 2GB or RAM, and decelopers basically had to demand more ram. Insane levels of cheapness and greed. As another example, selling the Switch OLED at the current price is highway robbery, but the thing is still selling well, and the fanboys defend its current price. Theres a reason why Nintendo fanboys are nearly a cult.

For anyone wondering about the DMCAs This isn't the work of Nintendo fanboys, this is the work of Nintendo itself. Nintendo employed the services of MarkMonitor Inc., which is where the mm-nintendo email comes from. Basically, MarkMonitor specializes in protecting their clients' (Nintendo and others) intellectual property by utilizing AI driven software they've written to identify any content related to their clients that is being used against their clients' will. TL;DR: Nintendo employed a company called MarkMonitor Inc., that made their own KZfaq IP identification AI, but for the entire Internet (not just KZfaq) that has been issuing all of these DMCAs.

@jxwong_3982 25 күн бұрын

@@Fayt540 Yes, I'm well aware. Reggie and Iwata did not start a litigious culture at Nintendo, and neither did they do anything to stop it. In fact, the Nintendo Creators' Programme, a major blight on Nintendo's fan interactions, was introduced during Reggie and Iwata's times in office and only scrapped near the end of Reggie's period. As for whether Nintendo is going to be made irrelevant by these decisions...I have my doubts. One area where Nintendo's usual strategy helps them here is that by targeting the most general and casual demographics, Nintendo actively reaches people who are less likely to follow gaming discourse or make decisions that are as informed as more "hardcore" gamers about Nintendo's decisions in the first place. These people are more likely to default to and support Nintendo simply on the basis of their games being fun and their name being good among the general public, while casting a less critical eye on some of their choices. And I don't really see that changing heavily even with the litigious choices they've made. Of course it COULD change with a longer period of time and longer exposure to such decisions, but that remains to be seen and I don't think Nintendo has broached that point just yet.

Notice it's a lot of Japanese companies, their laws are different regarding mods and emulation. Also Switch 2 incoming so they are trying to disrupt the piracy communities as much as possible. I don't think Apple emulation is really a big deal, anybody savvy enough to load roms and configure controllers etc. probably has an Android or gaming PC already. Problem with emulation is you need to fix problems as they crop up. You don't want to be fixing problems on people's devices all the time, explaining fps drops, most emulators crash pretty often too. Most kids can get more mileage out of a $200 Switch with Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Fortnite, Minecraft, not that expensive considering less hassle vs emulation

Thing about Nintendo and Apple is that the consumer base they appeal to already affords them a great advantage. Both of them target a wider, “lay” demographic who are less savvy with the market for their respective products and the discourse surrounding them, and are easier to sway into buying the products more because of their good name among the public as a result. This lack of wider awareness also means Nintendo and Apple can get away with more among their communities, who lack an informed basis of comparison for many of their decisions. Ultimately I can’t really say it’s the fans’ fault for exercising their free choice to buy whatever they like, and I think it’s not reasonable to expect people to research the market thoroughly for EVERY purchase they make, but this particular factor explains why Nintendo and Apple are able to get away with a lot that other companies with more “savvy” consumer bases might not be able to sneak past their own consumers as effectively.

@blok--head7472 26 күн бұрын

Heres the real question. What can be done to stop Nintendo? I've done my part by not buying anything from their products as of late, which does nothing in the longrun. How do we as gamers salvage something they try so hard to destroy? Sure you can make other domains, but I feel they'll eventually catch up tear it all down. Wished there was a law to prevent them from destroying their own history like this.

@Atrus999 26 күн бұрын

You could sue them, but it would take years and a ton of money and they'll most likely win. You could stop buying Nintendo games but that's not going to stop everyone from buying them and Nintendo would just do all this even more. The only thing I can think of that would actually make a difference is a change in leadership with someone younger who could actually see the benefits of things like game preservation and KZfaq and mods. Everyone in leadership positions over at Nintendo right now are dinosaurs.

Nintendo is notorious for hating their fans and community. They take down roms, mods, free fan games, free fan remakes, tournaments they aren't directly involved in, youtube letsplays, streams, music. They're horrific as a company, they just got lucky in that their game devs are wonderful.

@jxwong_3982 3 күн бұрын

I think these waves of Nintendo DMCAs are definitely indicative of not only the company swinging wild and free at potential infringements in the wake of the Yuzu lawsuit (“cleaning up” the job) but also a newfound willingness to rely on AI takedowns (through their third-party contractor MarkMonitor) to systematically sweep the Internet of fanmade content, preserved ROMs and emulation at a far greater capacity and scope than ever before. All of which ultimately serves to strengthen their own aggressive stance on copyright and make their IP-landlording approach even more restrictive. All this should be a portent of trouble brewing on the horizon for fans. With the tools now at their disposal, Nintendo can and likely will carry out attacks on fan work and emulation much more widely and frequently than they’ve ever done in the past. Time will tell if this crusade of theirs ultimately finally breaks through critical mass and garners enough fan attention to cause a true rebellion, or if Nintendo’s focus on casual audiences is robust enough to allow them to sneak through waves of draconian takedowns without so much as drawing the eye of the majority of their consumers.

Everything about their rigid approach to IP management has been IP landlording for the longest time. The rigid restrictions on fans, the draconian approach to anything that could even be considered the slightest trespass, and the overall domineering attitudes to control and availability are all in line with what you’d see of an abusive landlord, albeit one dealing in intellectual and not real property.

SIKE! SEGA (as proven on top), Lego, and the ESA (proven with the wiiware takedowns as i saw megaman 9 be taken down) can do DMCAs as well. i am very worried that SEGA, Lego, and the ESA (and maybe other gaming companies) will find Nintendo a Role Model and take down fan projects and ROMs as well.

If it was me personally, if I saw people trying to keep playing my old stuff, I would take that as an honor knowing that people still loved what I made, and I would return that energy into my new stuff to keep my old fans happy, as well as bring in new fans. I would also open source everything for community input but that is an unrelated side opinion. But what do I know? I'm just a guy who makes random-a** KZfaq videos.
