We need to replace all of the Nintendo assets with meme versions similar to Sanic. This way, Nintendo can't force them down and we get to make fun of them.

I say we make Plumber Guy and Princess Bleach of the Toilet Kingdom.

Yep. Never buying another Nintendo product again.

Piracy doesn't hurt Nintendo, but I sure wish it did.

Gary's mod, having assets if Nintendo properties. Nintendo wants that removed. People are somehow shocked.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 10 points 7 months ago (2 children)

The shock is, these are fanmade mods on the Steam Workshop, not asset theft. It'd be like Nintendo suing Bethesda over Relics of Hyrule.

[–] adam_y@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Yeah, they could do that. Maybe they will. That's capitalism for you. It doesn't care about users, just the property.

[–] Kaldo@kbin.social -2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

They will eventually. It is in AAA's best interest to kill modding and theres nothing we can do about it.

[–] xkforce@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

No it isnt and yes there is.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Some people said that the notices Garry's Mod received for takedown of Nintendo content weren't actually from Nintendo. They're saying that actually the takedowns are legit and so they'll be removing the Nintendo content.

[–] xkforce@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

The people that said it wasn't from nintendo never bothered checking who registered the domain. ICANN allows for searching for this information easily but it was even easier to just say "well it doesnt look legit to me" instead of actually checking. And yes that domain (mm-nintendo.com) is registered to Nintendo of America as you can verify here: https://lookup.icann.org/en

That didn't help at all.

It's amazing how something I so closely associated with joy during my childhood has turned into a source of constant vehement hatred.

Fuck Nintendo.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

That's capitalism for you!

Garry Newman is a cool name. Close to being the same as the New Wave musician.

Apropos of nothing, Gary Numan is actually older than Gary Oldman which makes their names somewhat misleading.

[–] prole@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Maybe, but Gary Oldman can play anyone between the ages of 18 and 99, and have people not recognize him.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I'm still amazed he was the antagonist in 5th element, when comparing all the serious roles he does

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Nintendo is a fucking joke.

Also, I am shocked to hear people still play Garry‘s Mod after almost 20 years.

At least this shit reminded me to turn off the annual auto renewal for my online family membership.
