HELP MY BRAIN IS FUCKTANGULAR AND I’M LOST
(@Adumbperson55) reported
@FinglishM @huntgbunt Thats not at all the issue, Nintendo Japan is allowed to hold a monopoly in japan but they’re trying to bring the same values to Nintendo US starting with games that people remade and gave credit to and now controllers. If Nintendo gets a monopoly they’re ****** cause its illegal

@Scoliosis_Jones the two prevalent "issues" seem to be birthed from fanboyism, though. Melee crowd not getting their way and crying, and the whole Etika joy-con thing not being understood with the actual issue Nintendo had with it

@CM_Sylvaria @zSupremoz Yeah basically, nintendo is really ruining their fans cause of these problems

@artnerd8 #FreeMelee. This resulted into the shutdown of the tournament from Nintendo. Next Nintendo shutdown custom joy con cases that were seld for the cause of Mental issues. The cases had the Logo of the nintendo switch on it and need to be redisgned. (2/3)

@tamazonx It's strange to me when I see people fawning over corporations. Nintendo of all companies seems to be severely lacking in customer service/care. So many horror stories of Switch repairs being screwed up or delayed for weeks/months.

Not to mention that they refuse to acknowledge joycon drift being a problem and still gives out shitty prizes for the tournaments. ALSO, they completely tarnish fan games which DID NOT effect sales of their current games like Pokemon or Super Mario. But it’s Nintendo so they cool

@Icege @Nintendo yeah, totally. nintendo could choose to be less shitty. but then they see all these people acting like it was nintendo's duty to support their activities. even if they don't want to, or even oppose those activities. nintendo might see it as more trouble than it's worth.

the problem with Nintendo is that the company has this fabricated image of "relatability" and "nostaglia" as to deflect criticism, and breed toxic, loyal fans. in reality, they suck just as much at least EA and Activision are like "yah we know we make the same game and suck lol"

Nintendo cracking down on Etika merch over use of a altered Switch logo was an eventuality. Parody is tougher to establish as a defense in trademark cases as opposed to copyright issues. Though I'm on the little guys side, its not an unreasonable concern legally.

@asda poor service today. I ordered a Nintendo switch three weeks ago. Supposed to be delivered today but got a message saying item unavailable. Less than three weeks to find another at a similar price

@ThePRYT They used Nintendo’s copyrighted logos and names. Most professional charities avoid doing that to avoid legal issues. Nintendo is in the right.

@ChisaiKitsune @XxNebulaDarkxX @animalcrossing This is mostly a problem of Nintendo of América. As if América is only one country and not the whole continent.

Blows mind every time Nintendo gets in trouble and people feel betrayed like they're exempt from capitalism being evil.

Theory; Nintendo are more likely to issue cease and desist orders when they see people doing a better job with their properties and hardware than they had ever done.

Good morning. Apparently Nintendo of America are the ones causing problems so I'll just import my games from Europe from now on

@huntgbunt Nintendo has been against 3rd party creations before most of us were a nut in our dad’s ball’s sack. You could arguably say the reason the 1983 crash was adverted was because of Nintendo’s philosophy. Is it “shitty”? Yeah, but if you give an inch they want a mile.

Hero of Legend supports Black and LGBTQ+ lives
(@GoldMetalSonic) reported
@Pegasus_Boots Perhaps, but it's not realistic. You think Nintendo should just let people do whatever they want, even if they willingly break the Terms of Service, commit copyright infringement, and such? Would you allow that in their shoes? You wouldn't be a good lawyer if you did.

@msd802494232 @TrillMustDie How on earth is this Nintendo's problem or jurisdiction at all. How in ******** can Nintendo get away with literally not letting people play their games?

The game industry has more problems than you can count with your fingers, but Nintendo's biggest issue is frustrating because of how easily they can adapt their approach to their fans, community, and overall PR just by listening instead of doubling down hard every time

@huntgbunt There's things to attack Nintendo on but this isn't it. This was using Nintendo owned copyright symbols and names on a product unofficial 3rd party product. If it didn't have the joy cons symbol and joy con on it, it would have been fine as other shells are sold no problem.

@FutureTimeKai @KomodoTurtles @SubToOptimus i don't think it really matters if it came from japan or america, it's still an issue with nintendo as a company. and perhaps it makes sense in that regard, but we still don't have confirmation (that i know of) that *that's* the reason why it was shut down.

(@RobS____) reported
@soulslikegamer The cease and desist was related to the use of the Nintendo Switch logo and Joy-Con phrase. The controller modifications weren't the issue, the use of copyright however, is an issue. Simple design changes would ratify that.

(@TheKnightKit) reported
@huntgbunt so this may be to avoid more public backlash at the joycon issue and limits of support, but also to help their warranty centers receive more unmodified joycons (which can prove the issue is with the Nintendo manufacturing and not the reseller), in order to honor the court ruling.

@redwidow1358 @Deadhunt47 @huntgbunt I’m seriously confused here. Where on these shells does it say Nintendo? I can somewhat understand if they got upset cuz they’re crappy *** “Joycon” is on the shells but I don’t otherwise see a problem here.

@IbDashing @MikuWestConfirm Also it's gone at least between 2 departments, the legal team and the team that sets up the eSports tourneys. There's no way I can't see this coming from the top, making this an entire Nintendo problem
-

(@stsh) reported
But if this is just an issue of Nintendo trying to crack down on cosmetically customized Nintendo accessories as a general concept and not just a trademark/copyright issue over using Nintendo logos and characters on them, that will have far worse effects.

(@LambdaCore5) reported
@Michael_Brown89 @jultar1000 @huntgbunt Ngl I don't know one way or another, but this seems to *only* happen with Nintendo. Hell Sega, the golden example people use, is a Japanese company - I think this is less a Japanese problem and more a Nintendo specific problem.

@NeoGameSpark I'm 50/50 this one, and I'm mostly on Nintendo's neck. On the one hand it's an awful look shutting this thing down due to the proceeding events. At the same time I think it might be a legality issue with patents coming from that shell. Certainly could've let it slide tho.

@huntgbunt The problem is Nintendo has to take action when their copyrights are involved, if they know about it and dont take action that sets a precedent in courts that its ok to use their branding unofficially.
