As a life-long Nintendo fan, GOOD. They need to be humbled after all the stunts they've been pulling.
Agreed--speaking as someone who's been playing every Nintendo console since about 1988.
Yep. At this stage, I feel like I will be taking measures to avoid giving them any money at this point - only buying second hand games/consoles, pirating or emulating anything else, and trying not to fund them any further through other ventures when I can avoid it. The switch 1 had a lot of good times, but it looks like those are coming to an end and fast.
And it may have been even bigger hubris then this sounds. I think I read somewhere that Nintendo might end up losing a lot of money from this fruitless lawfare, primarily in paying Pocketpair's legal fees. If they can redirect themselves, this may put them on the backburner for a while now.
If anyone can find anything to back up that memory, I would love to hear it.
Future Pokémon games might have to rely on their actual quality.
Smarr indie studio prease undastandu.
An unchallenged patent. That does seem suspicious. You typically have to prove you innovated or invented something, so just being given the patent just because you ask is a bit suspect.
I can think back to dragonball at the very least (and they're probably not even the first) with that capsule corp thing where you just press the button on the ball, throw the ball, and get a vehicle, or a house or whatever after the smoke and bom sound effect clears. And AFAIK, dragonball was early 80s in Japan. I want to say like 83 or 84, if my memory is right.
And THAT was just because Akira Toriyama didn't want to draw all the frames of it coming out.
Turning his laziness to his advantage--as he did countless times.
Toriyama was completely ignorant of manga writing and drawing rules when he got started, so naturally he did whatever he felt like. It's the most prominent case of "first-principles thinking" that I can think of.
I like to call it "achievements in ignorance."
He never learned it was impossible, so he did it.
Tony Jaa learned how to do his incredible moves for his martial arts movies because he had no idea the actors were being pulled up by wires.
Won't change anything, they can always make more patents and file more lawsuits. There's no reason to try making anything unless you're already a major IP holder.
Says the incel who's been doing this for three years without even TRYING to improve his situation.
Not that you care. You'll just move to another account and start all over again, instead of just doing a sit-up.
New name, I guess.
Post physique.
I've been trying to improve my situation my whole fucking life without success.
Why bother humiliating myself by submitting to your demands when I'll just end up banned again within hours?
I don't care. Post physique.
Commit suicide immediately, child rapist.
Why does everyone always decide to make baseless claims of pedophilia against me everywhere I go?
Just die immediately. No one cares what you have to say. Stop living.
Do you realize how unhinged you sound just making random baseless accusations?
Drown self.
Guerrilla gamedev it is, then.
Patents are way over awarded anyway. The way I see it the intent should be to protect time and money spend on research and development. Not such simplistic things.
Could we patent “any media based on a classic story where characters have been replaced with diversity or faggotry” then just go on a lawsuit rampage?
