after what happened with yuzu emu, im done...

EDIT: This post is a joke! It was posted in /c/memes, of course it is going to be a meme! If you consider this news, please re-evaluate your choice of sources.

At the same time, I think it says something about Nintendo that some actually believed this...

I can't believe there's people in here that don't understand that this is a joke.

[–] Lev_Astov 76 points 8 months ago

The fact it's almost believable is both real and a serious problem.

[–] Pogbom 38 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's so close to reality that I'll forgive it :P

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

LOL oh come on. I loved Yuzu a lot, and what they did to Bowser is fucked, but this is not all close to anything Nintendo has done.

[–] EmpathicVagrant 7 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Wait what did who do to bowser??

I live under a rock.

And I can't believe that there are people like you who still underestimate how gullible people can be.

I saw a lot of cool Nintendo Lego creations recently at a convention. Nothing had Nintendo names. Instead of Goomba, it was named "angry mushroom" and stuff like that.

Also Disney once told a family no multiple times regarding putting Spider-Man on their dead child's tombstone.

Fuck these corporations.

Worked in retail awhile back. Kept having glass shit fall off displays and ends. It wasn't TOO often, just enough to be an annoyance. They were stacking glass product on top of one another. I explained why this was a problem; they didn't care. Some time later I came back to the bosses with an argument:

This is how much we're charging for the product.

This is how much I make per hour.

Cleanup of said broken product takes X time.

This is how much I make in that time, or Y.

Which means a single broken product that breaks costs you Z, multiplied by the number of times it happens, plus the cost of the product itself.

This was what got their attention. These people usually aren't human, they're sociopaths. Remember that.

A * B * C = X

If X is less than the cost of a recall, they don’t do one.

This is one of those situations where it's better to ask forgiveness than permission. Even the most cold-hearted corporate ghoul is going to understand the cost/benefit of going after that family isn't remotely worth it.

Yeah, the lawyers are going to say "no". But even if they're stupid enough to sue: some suit that isn't a moron is going to tell them to drop it during the ensuing PR nightmare, and the family will be swimming in donations.

Nah don't boycott Nintendo's shit; steal it.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 8 months ago (3 children)

How to steal something you can't own? Instructions unclear /s

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago

YOU WOULDN'T DOWNLOAD A SWITCH

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

It's simple, steal another copy.

Already ha... oh uh, I mean nope, I sure wouldn't do that, ossifer law! :-P

[–] BigMikeInAustin 39 points 8 months ago

So that's how Nintendo keeps the price of their games so low! They have a secondary revenue stream!

That's the neat part, you don't!

[–] residentmarchant 7 points 8 months ago

That's never been done before, we're part of history!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Meme before I've had my coffee? It's more likely than you think.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

No, just love the meme.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Yeah, fuck Nintendo but this is very obviously bullshit unless they actually made and sold a product.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

Very obviously a joke. Cardboard, people! :)

If you want to boycott this company don't give them ads, don't have their logo reach the front page

[–] Clent 17 points 8 months ago (6 children)

I hope the ChatGPT and its siblings bring about the end of copyright. Unfortunately it's more likely we'll pervert the idea of personhood yet again and claim these things are people same as was done with corporations.

Clearly the father made a lot of money off that social media post. Nintendo is only trying to protect its IP!

[–] werefreeatlast 6 points 8 months ago

I'm going to tell this story to my kid so he believes it and then I can have him stop buying video games.

Hmm, not sure if this is a real story. It might be.
