i swear nintendo is the only company that manages to have people deflecting any form of villification, here or literally anywhere on the internet. Truly incredible, people really love them their pokemans and tubby egg rabbits

Pointing out what a moron this guy was is not the same thing as agreeing with Nintendo’s shitty legal practices.

Where was the topic change?

If anything, you’re the one being disingenuous.

“Pointing out what a moron this guy was is not the same thing as agreeing with Nintendo’s shitty legal practices.”

We know what these corporations will do, they’ve been very clear about it.

At a minimum don’t go advertising that you’re copying their roms and selling them. This guy advertised to the world who he is and what he was doing.

Is Nintendo still shitty? Yes. But geez, don’t make it blindingly easy to figure out who you are.
