    Love an article that just quotes a Twitter discussion followed by a cool comment the writer found on Reddit.

      That is the current state of journalism. And they wonder why they’re being replaced by AI.

    The worst part is that it were copyright trolls, but also that Nintendo are such assholes that it was a credible threat.

      What evidence do people have it was copyright trolls? Nintendo isn’t just assholes about this, they are the fucking poster boy for fucking up fan made content and support in the name of IP.

    1. Everybody is claiming fraudsters, but I don’t see the evidence.

    2. Nintendo has had a huge crackdown in the last year on mods and video content including their branded IP.

    People just need to move on from this shitty company and find new favorites. Nintendo is an abusive company that does not give a shit about you being a fan. They just want to make shitty annual release clones of games.

    Please stop supporting this business.

    While you’re at it, please also quit buying Ubisoft games for a bit. That Star Wars Outlaws game needs to fail.

    If gamers could just not put up with this shit for like 1 year, we could have significant corrective action in these teams.

    I guarantee Nintendo would be begging for fan made content if they were no longer the monolith of Japanese development they have become.
