Just a silly shower thought I had after hearing about Nintendo's copyright claim against Russ from Retro Game Corps.
They only reason they don't dispatch terror squads of thugs door to door is because it would be illegal, not even because it would be bad for PR.
"You're not hiding any ROMS under zese floorboards, are you?"
According to the Ryujinx (Switch emulator) Mac M1 branch maintainer, they literally did send people to the home of Ryujinx's lead dev in Brazil.
So we might already be there.
Brazil was always there... US had a break but looks like Pinkertons going to re open their corpo enforcer division. Good money to be made tbh
Ask WoTC how they feel about sending thugs to people's doors
I can't believe how many otherwise seemingly reasonable people are still involved in the MTG and D&D content ecosystems after Hasbro hired the fucking Pinkertons to threaten a Youtuber. How little self respect do they have? Promote a game that isn't made by someone who would send thugs to your house!
Lack of education and propaganda got these peasants bootlicking harder than Waffen-IDF doing genocide...
In fairness, I still play 5e
I haven't given WotC a dime since that fiasco, though.
The last thing I bought from them directly was the R20 integrated Out of the Abyss digital campaign for me to DM with some friends.
We got halfway and it was kinda mid. I tossed a big ass boss fight at them along with the mid-game boss and it felt final enough.
Once it releases in full, we'll be a Cosmere RPG group for a good while.
People simply don't give a fuck. Unless the product isn't mediocre, they could bomb kids as far as they care (unless it appears as a scandal, and they feel morally pushed to move on)
Well, if the stories involving the Japanese yakuza are true, maybe you're a little wrong...
The Bowser headline looks ridiculous if you have no context lol
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.
Nintendo should buy Warner Brothers Discovery
Nintendo should be burned
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.
