Don’t forget how they added anti-cheat to customers’ purchases after sale

Fucking Embracer. They’re a cancer on the industry

Hope they don’t go down the enshittification rabbit hole anytime soon.

Apparently they’re transitioning to a non-profit business model

And nothing of value was lost

Patents are very specific

You’d be surprised at some of the gargage that sneaks past the patents office

Hell, they were already selling copies too. They were at 100% “completion” and still threw it out

If this is really Nintendo’s strategy, they’re going to be hosed, even in Japanese courts. Pokemon isn’t even the first game with these mechanics, Dragon Quest (a Square Enix property) and Shin Megami Tensei (an Atlas property) had the mechanic and came out before Pokemon, plus the original Pokemon released over 20 yeares ago.

So, literally the same strategy that gamers are going for here. And you said their methods never work, yet here we are with an example of it working

Also, don’t forget all of the Discovery Channel shows that customers purchased through PSN that Sony stole.

Fuck Sony

The gaming community is incapable of executing an effective boycott

If that’s the case, then explain exactly why Sony backed off of the account requirement for Helldivers 2

Nintendo’s well-known record for being litigious makes it firmly auth-right imo

Eh. I’d argue the Beyond Skyrim Team is the real successors

Unfortunately the core mechanics of MOBA games encourage shitty behavior

True, but if the VA (or their agent) has any sense of business they’ll be making more per hour

Are you telling me you don’t use multiple screens while gaming?

Or it being 5 years in the future with significantly more efficient SOC’s and batteries

That being said, the Nintendo DS’s last US patents should expire in November. Maybe they could do a dual screen?

Or management

Or fanboys going through all reviews and downvoting any negative reactions. I’m willing to bet folding money that Hollow Knight’s user score is going to go up because of this because their fanbase is toxic af

At least McAfee’s antics were entertaining
