Sony are run by ideological retards.
If I was in charge of all the assests they have, I could EASILY be making money hand over fist by doing next to NOTHING than deliberately antagonising the customers like this.
iirc Nintendo was responding to a question
this question was omitted in English reports about this, but the question was about what Nintendo could do to help protect children after a cosplayer sent sexual messages to children
It has nothing to do with good faith fans making fan art of Nintendo characters.
It's one area the West seemed to actually have it right in terms of fair use. I've watched a lot of abridged parodies so KNOW how litigious they get with their property.
This however is going TOO retarded as going to a literal fan convention to do this is just attracting people to despise you more, wouldn't be surprised if there is a huge spike in piracy this year compared to last year.
Why support a company that won't support its customer base?
Essentially, I need to look into merch on offer by the studios MAKING the Anime and artists making the Manga as I want to support them directly but shipping costs can be a bitch.
My favorite section:
Hope the lawyer has an unfortunate accident.
You don't hate lawyers enough. You think you do, but you don't.
It’s almost as if the people in charge are just there to make money at the expenses of their product. It’s like they don’t care about long term growth but short term gains.
I cannot fathom why anyone would even contemplate giving them money. Let them die and bring back the fansub scene.
The fact that they were not torn asunder by the mob right then and there is extremely disheartening to me. Such brazen disrespect requires harsh consequences, the kind that cannot be ignored.
Easy two-step process
Rip up the notice in front of them
Respond, "You are licensors, you do not own the original product or IP. Kindly fuck off"
If their response is they own it in the region, shove their own globalist shit in their face.
Bring burn trays for fuckers like them, throw the document into the burn tray, and torch it in front of them with a lighter.
