I feel like people on this board are misunderstanding how copyright law works in Japan.
Japan has some of the most draconian copyright laws on the planet. CDs for example, are still a primary medium for music consumption over there. why? Because recording companies said so and fuck you.
Sony’s entire business model was IP based- patent, proprietary, seek-sue-and-destroy.
Pal world should not at all be surprised by this. Users shouldn’t be surprised by this. NINTENDO is not a technology company, it is an IP company their entire business model is based on licensing, they were never going to give pal world a pass because “consumers want it”
