How have Nintendo's lawyers not shut this down yet?

They're waiting until enough work is put in to actually upset people, just as a warning to other potential criminals thinking of doing anything similar.

They're never the quickest and usually only act if they learn of something from the media. That said, by asking for money via Patreon, the developer is also asking to get sued.

How come these people never learn?
