I was called a madman for this
Please Nintendo do your thing
This is most likely the totality of their response.
Bro why does nobody here have faith on Nintendo’s legal team’s capacity to sue people 😭
There is a big difference between issuing takedowns to small YouTubers doing lets play content, or garnishing the wages from a pirate for the rest of his life, and picking a fight with DHS when you’re a foreign company and there’s a dictator in office.
Because I have more faith in the legal team being cowards and not going after the government than I do them actually doing something about it.
Because Trump has being giving them a free ticket of corrupt and inept judges in US patent courts to award them absolutely bullshit control over game mechanics and concepts they didn’t create.
Please Nintendo do your thing
They won’t.
Nintendo are famous for making examples out of people who do not have the means to fight back in court. Say what you want about Trump, but he’s the king of stalling for time in court, and in this case, he has an unlimited amount of taxpayer money to fight his legal battles, and he has an unusually strong grip on the judiciary, so Nintendo could still conceivably lose the court case if they get assigned to a MAGA judge.
This will be the end of it. They’ve divorced themselves from the DHS shenanigans and that’s all they were obligated to do in the interest of protecting their brand.
I think you are right. Pathetic scumbags over at Nintendo.
I but don’t worry if you add Pikachu to your short YouTube video saying how it had a profound impact on your life they’ll be sure to sue you right to the poorhouse.
my low effort contribution
“… But we’re gonna do fuck all about it”
Sue them and use pressure like you did against Yuzu & Citra.
Otherwise, go frag yourself.
They sound not so eager to sue this time though, they sound unapproving but intimidated.
Does anyone actually know the original source of the gif, I want to watch the original scene
Found it but never seen it myself. https://popculturereferences.com/when-jason-momoa-was-meme-famous-before-becoming-actually-famous/
Why hasn’t Nintendo sued yet? It’s most likely because they actually support this use of their IP.
A Japanese company not shying away from fascism?
-surprised Pikachu face-
Did they mention anywhere that they didn’t like it?
The statement itself seems to be legalese for “DHS will hear from us and we are not happy”.
I’ll believe it when i see it.
Edit: I bet Nintendo’s entire board makes yukio Mishima look like a moderate.
It sounded to me like they were going to do nothing, but just wanted people to know they didn’t make it in case they were curious.
I say, grab that version, swap the ICE clips with other stuff and use it like it’s public domain. (with throwaway accounts, of course)
And if they don’t like it tell em “My taxes paid for the DHS version. My rights to fair use allow me to create transformative works. And my own labor made it so.”
^and still get a C&D^
