How about they everyone just focus on making shit instead of worrying about who owns the gameplay from a toy that's old enough to have a quarter life crisis now.

Heh, good one. Just think about it for a second - what would then Nintendo do with their whole office building full of lawyers?
Give them jobs as playtesters
They never hoped to win, they just wanted to drain Pocketpair's money with lawyer expenses
Remember to pirate a Nintendo game today
Its the only way to easily play much of their older catalogue anyway
Gonna go seed some roms.
Been seeding a ~30GB "Almost every game before PS1" pack for about a decade now, ratio's like 1:100. :)
Yup, my NAS has quietly been seeding everything since PS2 for like two years now. It’s one of my most popular torrents. Current ratio is ~830 and climbing.
instead making pokemon slop games, including the card game. try to improve it instead. get rid of masuda, and deal with scalpers for the card area.
And fuck off that pikachu guy as well.
Games Fray’s report claims Nintendo now has “zero chance” of prevailing against current Palworld versions under the revised scope, arguing that any injunction would apply only to older builds. The outlet also said the maximum damages at stake would be 5 million yen, roughly $30,000, if Nintendo succeeds on the remaining claims.
Oh what a return for the widespread disgust. No such thing as bad PR right guys? lol
Not really. Sometimes the process is the punishment.
No other game studio/publisher would want to lose a hefty sum in lawyer fees
No such thing as bad pr when your company has millions of brainwashed fans who have literally never played any other games.
I know a lot of people including me that haven't bought a switch 2 after owning every nintendo console released in their lifetime because they're disgusted with with Nintendo's behavior. I'm sure some percentage of them will cave eventually but it's definitely a non-zero amount of money they've left on the table by being like this
Yes. The bullshit lawsuits are what finally curbed my Nintendo habit.
According to Switch 2 sales numbers, you are sadly the rare exception. Nintendo fans are gobbling up the stuff big N is churning out and asking for seconds.
We must be, "sadly", 2 rare exceptions. My kid is still playing on the switch with no hope of getting the switch 2 until he is old enough to leave my house and buy it himself. Fortunately, he hates Nintendo's bullshit behavior as well, and has been playing more on steam instead. And yes, I am brainwashing him against all the corpo crowd. Sue me.
And yes, I am brainwashing him against all the corpo crowd.
Sounds more like you're deprogramming them.
The brainwashing is the Marketing and PR from the big corps that turns people into mindless consumers and even fans.
The overwhelming amounts of Advertising everywhere every day aren't there because people are naturaly prone to love brands, they're there to (mainly using techniques from Psychology) shift people's perception feelings about a brand to make them love the brand, and if you pay attention most of it is designed to influence people via their subconscious pathways (such as familiarization and associating the brand with other things they feel as positive) rather than to convince people with rational arguments via their conscious mind. So it's the Advertising that's using the same kind of technique as brainwashing.
If you're trying to change your kid's mind via convincing them of something (i.e. rationalizing with them) rather that through psychological trickery (for example, relentless pressure until they comply), then what you're doing is the very opposite of brainwashing.
Thanks, your way of putting it does make much more sense.
That's me. I've been a day one customer of Nintendo systems for as long as I remember but they simply don't deserve my money now.
You're already not considered the average consumer by using lemmy
Hey that's me and my pokemon/Zelda/monster hunter stories obsessed daughter! Fuck you Nintendo, you used to be cool. Well...you used to pretend to be cool. Well...we used to buy your games and not think too hard.
I've now managed to pirate all the Switch 1 Pokemon games through an emulator.
Sooner or later, somebody's going to emulate the Switch 2. I can wait.

have you see then gatekeep the current slop of games.
What are they gonna do? Hack into my PC and send a lawyer to my house demanding I remove the version that has round balls? Kiss my ass Nintendo!
Yes, they will.
Who do they think they are, WotC?
Magic The Gathering is known for it's 5 color card system. Red, Blue, Black, White and Green.
But the most dangerous color is Pink.
Expected a different
kind of pink

Even the older versions were vastly different, and Nintendo's patents are both exceptionally vague and infringe on older works. Hopefully this keeps reducing until it collapses entirely. Any win for Nintendo, even minor, will give precedence for future lawsuits.
