Every single one of your posts smacks of someone who is talking out of their ass but has figured out how to come off matter-of-fact just enough to trick most people into thinking you have a point. Your entire rant was useless! The whole thing!
[/quoteeverything I said in this is true from years of playing. The part about solo devs is almost entirely understood and if anything an overstatement of what solo devs can achieve in one year

It's literally all online. Rare used to be a child studio of Nintendo until 2002 when they were acquired by Microsoft. Rare only owned rights to banjo kazooie for like a few months

DING DING DING.
And that's only because they had partial ownership of the Rareware company.

Now what about other companies that just had games published by nintendo on their consoles? they wern't ever owned by nintendo. Same deal.

rare didn't own banjo kazooie until Nintendo sold the rights. It was 100% Nintendo property up until they sold it after which it became Rareware property until they sold it to Microsoft. There was never a partial ownership

Then explain, explain to me why Nintendo hasn't made Super Mario RPG HD, Banjo Kazooie HD, Hell even a BANJO KAZOOIE Virtual Console release? You have no idea what the hell you're talking about.
Nintendo PUBLISHED these games. They don't have "100% full ownership".

Who loving cares what they decide to do with their property? Who cares if they didn't make an HD remake last year or if they plan on making it one year from now or 10 years from now, it has LITERALLY NOTHING to do with the fact that they have LITERALLY LEGALLY FULL 100% OWNERSHIP of all the games they published. You can read this up on any cornell law website or intellectual property website and EDUCATE yourself on copyright.

They reserve the right to make a remake or continue a franchise at literally any point in time as long as they own the rights to a franchise. There is no expiration date on their property where if they haven't made a remake yet they lose their loving rights. That doesn't exist

Nintendo doesn't own all the rights to EVERY NES, SNES, N64, GAMECUBE, WII, WII U AND SWITCH GAME EVER MADE.

They literally do. Any game with a Copyright Nintendo (C) 19XX or 20XX is literally nintendo's property and they have full 100% ownership over that content unless they sold the rights (they have never sold the rights of anything). Even if its developed or outsourced by a foreign game studio it still belongs to nintendo in the end, as they own the rights to all characters setting and names

Point me in the direction in which they're selling anything outside of the mainstream classics and cult classics.
Not every game is readily available.

If there is a way to buy the game from them still, fine, they're losing money.
But how the absolute forget, is nintendo losing money on battletoads, that's microsoft's problem.
How the forget is Nintendo losing money on little samson, how is nintendo losing money on properties they cannot sell?

This is an abuse of power, 5 or 10 games does not justify shutting down an entire website.

Because they reserve the right to make a reboot in the future? because it's literally their property and they can do whatever they feel will make them more money because they loving made it? how are you this goddamn handicapped

The Cease and Desist is the coward's letter to strike fear into someone to back down, whether they are right or wrong, and to avoid having to put money into an actual lawsuit and risk losing.

Nintendo is afraid of loving themselves, and in this case they might, since they don't take advantage of more than half of the property on those websites.

holy stuff a cease and desist is a letter to tell people to stop illegally using your intellectual property for forgets sake. 99% of the time a cease and desist is entirely warranted and right.

if you sold your red forum theme for $5 and i decided to buy it and give people a free download on a different website for everyone to use you'd have the loving right to put out a cease and desist on me. its not some act of cowardice, its telling someone to stop loving using your stuff without permission

I know all phantos cares about is drawing the lines of legality, so that one day he can justify the removal of free speech legally, since skirting the lines of technicalities is always how you forget everyone over.

But as badspot said, Might does not make right and people will not tolerate snarky technicalities like nintendo's.

It's not about what's allowed, it's about what's right, and this isn't right but it's allowed. I don't think it shouldn't be, but nintendo is abusing their power.

What's right is that you aren't allowed to acquire their stuff for free. Trying to justify being entitled to free content by default is loving stupid as stuff and im sure badspot would probably have a few things to say in agreement. almost all game devs can agree that any form of pirating or emulation is generally stupid and a real net loss of money in the end.

whats funny is i was going to make an ironic post about how nintendo was infringing on my 1st amendment right to own all content for free but my phone powered down, but now i dont have to make that post because you unironically believe that this has something to do with your freedom of speech being infringed upon (as usual)

The thing is....  most of these games are under the nintendo's name.

and They deleted it without even consulting the original developers

the developers dont own the games they make sadly. its property of nintendo since they are the publisher, therefore nintendo has the final say in all legal stuff regarding the content

but now people lose their outlets because the entire site is taken down. if its something that picks up (which i dont think it will, since emulation has almost been around as long as gaming has) some games could be lost forever if not preserved and this could cause some nerds to kill themselves

i mean legally a cease and desist isnt even necessary, nintendo can just skip that and sue all the websites for owning their content illegally in the first place. my assumption is that under cease and desist if the websites remove all their nintendo content they would've ceased and desisted. i dont know about the fine, i think nintendo has the right to sue for actual money

again, this isnt just nintendo. there are some games where the company that created the game doesnt exist anymore. theres no one there to make remakes, receive money, or even sue you

well uh, they can't sue... so they aren't sueing. in that case its perfectly legal to download their content because the company no longer exists
