Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

The youtube channel would first need to be willing to take Nintendo to court.

This is not about the legality of emulation, unfortunately, but about whether people have the rights to publish lets plays without a license.

Many suits in the gaming industry see lets plays as theft. They see people making money using their games and believe lets players should have to pay to license thst content, and that they should have the right to revoke that license if they don't like what people are saying about or doimg with their games.

I work in the industry, and I know people who work or who have worked at studios owned by every major punlisher in the west. This is a thing they all habe someone of import chomping at the bit for.

It's just that none of them want to be the one singled out as the first or only one attacking lets plays. Nor to be the one that shoulders the costs of having their position challenged in court.

Ryujinx just got taken down by Nintendo today. Fuck those corporate asshole.

"And what games you can buy will be bundled with Ice Climbers. Always with Ice Climbers."

They're so amazingly dogmatic, too. There's this subtext belief that Nintendo's business decisions are somehow profoundly and uniquely wise, such as the claim that there can't be a new F-Zero game because "there's no conceivable way to make it different each time, which is a Nintendo(tm)(r) mandate" as if it wouldn't be enough to add weapons to the vehicles, customization/performance modifications, power allocation, outright flying or even space segments, or even out-of-the-car gameplay.

Nope. Just the "make it different each time" of the Zelda plot rehashes forever and ever.

Or, make it "different each time" by making it janky in a way most people don't like, like Star Fox Zero which was also a plot rehash, and then shelve the franchise because people didn't like it. Nintendo is that infallible!

I thiiiink they're modding the game but still playing on official hardware, so they might be in the clear for now (until Nintendo goes further)

Oh nice, I'll have to go check that out. Thank you Nintendo for making me aware of this!

Starting at $889 oof. But yeah looks amazing

If it's one thing I've noticed about Lemmy, this platform loves to repost FUD articles and exaggerated the absolute living shit out of them. Just visit the Firefox community and you'll see what I mean.

I was more hoping it'd teach people to always pirate Nintendo products
