Nintendo is on their way of becoming one of the worst companies of the year for the fans. Fucking hell…
This is not even remotely new for Nintendo, and is exactly how they have always reacted to fan games 🤷♂️
I saw a docu i think about smash bros. from nintendo, very cool docu serie btw, and the guys that organized the first tournaments got a letter or something that they where not allowed to organize such tournaments (mind you just fans playing the game in a bigger room nothing more) because, and here it comes, the game should not be played like that! Wtf.
(Ah yes The Smash Brothers 2013)
That doesn’t make it any less vile.
It’d honestly be hilarious if all the creators just started rebranding their fan projects with Palworld Pals (or any other similar IP). Start shifting the discourse away from Pokemon. I’d love that.
it makes it more ridiculous that people who don’t like this kind of behavior support nintendo at all.
Exactly. I’m proudly 3 years Nintendo-free, and I don’t see myself going back anytime soon.
Once my Switch broke and the Steam Deck released, I decided I didn’t want to bother with Nintendo anymore. They’ve been killing their communities for far too long.
Relic Castle,
is the site name that got DMCAd by Nintendont.Saves you from opening the article.
Thank you. Iirc, they were the main hub for the pokemon in rpgmaker frameworks, and for all the games based off of that. Shame.
Stop supporting Nintendo. Boycott them.
“There are dozens of us!”
I would ignore Nintendo even if no one else did, they stink and their orbiters are annoying and shallow. At least the Disney adults go outside.
Yar har fiddle de de
why do we still care about pokemon
if they dont want us discussing it i guess so be it
It’s the highest grossing media franchise of all time, what sort of question is this?
Thank God it wasn’t PokeMMO. I feel like they don’t have long, though…
I’m confused as to how that one wasn’t shut down years ago, but others like this have been.
They tell all of their users that they must have a legitimate physical copy of Pokemon Firered, which is what PokeMMO was hacked from
They are very clever in how they handle Nintendo IP. Firstly, you must bring your own legitimate copies of the necessary titles:
Fire red Black/white Heartgold/soulsilver Emerald Platinum
Then they don’t sell any Nintendo IP. Anything that is sold is either loosely based off Nintendo IP, or custom in-house design.
Granted, I’m still surprised it’s not been taken down somehow, but I’m over 1k hours into the game and I’m loving it.
I’ve not really thought about it before, but how does a dmca takedown work? Is it just the company telling the hosting to get rid of it and they comply? What is to keep someone from self hosting or hosting somewhere hard to do anything about?
Once the alleged infringing content is removed, the infringing party has the option to file a Counter Claim in response, stating under penalty of perjury that the DMCA Notice is false. The OSP/ISP must wait 10-14 days after receiving a valid DMCA Counter Claim before reactivating or allowing access to the claimed infringing content. The claimant who filed the DMCA Takedown Notice must then file a court order against the infringing site owner and the OSP/ISP if they wish to keep the infringing content offline.
Self-hosters are also subject to DMCA. Failure to comply runs the risk of being sued.
Self-hosters are also subject to DMCA. Failure to comply runs the risk of being sued.
Not if the self-hoster is self-hosting out of DMCA jurisdiction. Also, not if the self-hoster can not be found (say, redirect your mailer to
/dev/null).
