Just a silly shower thought I had after hearing about Nintendo's copyright claim against Russ from Retro Game Corps.

Nintendo hates its fans. They should reap the negative PR. Problem is, way too many corporate simps.

The speedrunning community must a lil shook with the emulation strikes, lately.

I'm hoping that Nintendo's consistently shitty behavior makes the general public realize that stanning for developers is better than stanning for companies

Personally I'd recommend supporting indie devs as they're closer to "locally produced" than triple-A dev entities like Ubisoft, EA, Nintendo

Tbf Devs are usually massive pieces of shit as well, thousands of over-inflated egos, cutthroat techbros and cynical asset-swappers who hate g*mers more than necessary out there for every one decent fella or lady who's autistic about meshes or render pipelines, but prob works for a Chinese online casino optimizing animation timings for whale click-through.

Aint this is just normal working conditions at "private enterprise" tho

Everyone just goes home and pretends to be a normal person after either being savage OR victim of office savagery.

Yea. But to an extent it's your choice to participate you can just not give a fuck about what's not your problem or concern as long as you get paid.

I have to wonder how long they can run on community goodwill. With handhelds like the Steam Deck and similar, surely it's gotta be only a matter of time until they have to change or die.

They won't die. Their largest demographic is prepubescent children. Mommy and Daddy's money isn't going anywhere

I'd argue that they're more likely to morph into a patent troll if they ever do get anywhere close to their death throes.

We might even be witnessing the Genesis of that transformation now.

They have such a deep patent portfolio that they could really fuck with the whole industry.

If the switch 2 has the same lack of success as the Wii u I could see that

Seems it's ramped up a lot since the new CEO took over.

[-] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 15 points 1 week ago

Didn't entire entertainment industry kicked this campaign off as they started to squeeze us on price?

There is deff an uptick over last few years but media enjoyers have also been more vocal about not accepting the new terms of service and voting with their feet.

Feels like we are in the middle of another show down with the "owners."

The Bowser headline looks ridiculous if you have no context lol

[-] style99@lemm.ee 14 points 1 week ago

Nintendo are control freaks. They want nothing more than to have their own official "security" guards watching over everyone's shoulder, finger on the trigger of their shotgun, as they make sure you play their games (not your games) in the Nintendo-approved way of playing their games.

I’m done, folks. Been playing their stuff from the release of the SNES. I can’t support this kind of idiocy.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

Nintendo should buy Warner Brothers Discovery

I'm sorry for this insensitive joke, but MiiTomo was too good.

[-] mariusafa@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 week ago

Nintendo should be burned

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 6 points 1 week ago

Next step: Nintendo sues all sites that dare write its name

If this wipes out poor content sites like Screen Rant and TheGamer I'd be happy. I hate how Google keeps recommending me this crap of content.
