Excellent news. 12 year old me would never believe I would be smiling seeing Nintendo finally take an L.
Same here but 12 year old me also wanted to be a ninja when he grew up.
Learn martial arts, wear a mask, and throw pepper bombs at cops
12 year old me was watching Nintendo send representatives to Senate hearings to try to censor the entire medium of video games. Every L Nintendo takes is a benefit to the world.
Sad how villainous Nintendo are. Their games were everything to me as a child.
Just put yer eyepatch and tricorn hat on, matey. Their games still be worth plunderin'!
Wouldn’t you want to skip Nintendo games so that they stop being culturally relevant? I often hear that piracy is good for media creators in the long run.
There are way, way too many people who have never heard of Nintendo's problems and/or don't care for it to make any difference. They're culturally relevant, and there's nothing you or I can do about it.
This kind of thinking certaintly won't contribute to that changing.
Abstaining from entertainment to no actual end drains valuable mental energy that could be going into constructive solutions.
That might be true if there weren’t literally a million other games to play instead.
How does not playing a game drain more valuable mental energy than downloading, installing, and playing it?
If you really want to do something, and you're watching everyone else enjoy it on social media, that takes willpower. You only have so much willpower, so why not use it on something that actually helps someone, like not eating meat or child shave chocolate or whatever?
But you realise you could swap the Nintendo games with child slave chocolate and this discussion would have played out just the same. What makes one boycott more likely to succeed than another? That's setting aside the fact that you're assuming everybody will have the same set of social values as you.
We're taking about pirating the games, not buying them. Not buying them is still voting with your wallet.

This is the message we were replying to
Yes, the one responding to a suggestion to pirate their games, which directly references piracy in the quote you pasted.
i mean it’s not your refusal to play pokémon schmirtle & thromble that will plunge nintendo to obscurity
at that point, if the game interests you, may as well pirate it
I'm waiting for Pokémon SilverSchmirtle, myself.
Sounds like an argument for pirating if you feel like it, regardless of everything else. Can’t say I agree with this one even if there are good reasons to pirate in plenty of cases.
Nah, keeping their old catalog relevant just twists the knife in them more. Like pouring a whole bottle of hydrogen peroxide on the wound.
Is it petty? Sure. But Nintendo cannot out-petty me.
Aye, if th' games were released on PC, matey.
As long as the treasure be land-locked to their hardware jails, they've yet to see a cent out of me, or me crew!
Fuck yeah
Wow I’m pleasantly surprised. Doesn’t happen much lately
Lmao, Pokemon GO was used as prior art. Get fucked Nintendo.
Never forget how Nintendo made its money.
Nintendo got sued by Universal Studios for creating Donkey Kong which Universal felt was too close to King Kong. Nintendo won the case and since then they've been on a bloody dont-fuck-with-the-plumber Crusade just like Disney's dont-fuck-with-the-mouse. Given the current state of Pokemon games, I wish Nintendo had lost the Pokemon trademark due to brand dilution long ago.
hah get fucked nintendo
Sweet. Fuck Nintendo.
