Sounds like they’ve got their work cut out for themselves.
They literally cant take action in 99,99% of cases.
Until they come across the right person inside the EU, then they are fucked. :)
Anti consumer tos are strictly prohibited. For example you could even sue your way out of a ban when you cheated because they keep you out of consuming a product you paid for.
Maybe mark your link as NSFW?

This right here, folks? Is why the concept of “self-documenting code” is nonsense.
I think it’s just basic etiquette to mention that a link is NSFW when you’re sharing it in a regular conversation, no matter the context.
Is the word “nude” in the link not enough to know it’s gonna be nsfw?
Seriously 😒. Fucking get with how the goddamn internet works. This is not a Rick roll.
Friendly reminder that it’s really fucking stupid to click links without reading them, and I mean really fucking stupid.
Thanks Nintendo! You’re giving me even more reasons to not buy any of your crap. It’s been years since I bought something from you and I’m happy you keep doing your best to help me with my decision.
So what does this mean for the future of Shotgun Mario 64?
Japanese company applying Japanese law to global consumers. This needs to stop. Its fine to apply Japanese law in Japan to Japanese consumers, but not other countries.
Nintendo, I used to love you, and now you are the single biggest contributor to me hating you.
Not sure how Japanese law has anything to do with this. I’m pretty sure under US law (the one that ultimately matters for streaming) leaves all the rights of recorded videos of the game with the right holders of the game. That you’re allow to record/stream games at all has no legal precedent, it’s just a wise business decision by publisher to not forbid it (anymore).
And legality aside. As a dev I wouldn’t want racist or bigoted streamers to show my game and make money off of my work. Same with leakers. Sure for a big company I don’t care but if someone leaked an indie devs work, we would consider it a dick move as well.
Unfortunately that’s only gonna stop when social media companies enable country blocking for streamers to prevent their content from being shown to Japanese audiences.
You really think they would stop in that case?
Nintendo is writing their own laws through terms of service, enforced with kill switches built into their games.
They can’t write their own laws and their terms of service can’t go against your local laws if they want to provide their services in your State (in the general sense, not in the USA sense), so customer protection laws can solve the issue if Nintendo won’t solve it themselves.
They absolutely shouldn’t be able to, but companies are constantly pushing the boundaries and seem to be getting away with their bullshit bullshit depressingly often.
Supposedly this is how the animetuber community were able to get relief from copy strikes after TNM took a public stand against the practice when his one piece series got struck
It’s as if customer protection laws are necessary… A whole bunch of things found in EULA doesn’t apply to me just because of where I live and the fact that we have them here.
Nintendo, knows they can coerce YouTube into destroying peoples channels, by sung them in Japan, so they get to write any rules they want.
Okay, keep digging your own grave Nintendo. Twitch streamers and YouTubers are a major source of advertising for you, even for back-catalog stuff. The only reason why I see Nintendo directs is because a streamer I enjoy watches them. My interest in Nintendo stuff is pretty low but I’ve been persuaded to buy a few Nintendo games as a result of YouTube or twitch videos. But here’s the things: these guys have no filter. They swear constantly and love innuendo. They will probably get caught in Nintendo’s net and stop streaming Nintendo stuff. As a result, I will no longer be paying attention to what Nintendo’s doing.
Just bought a steamdeck (switch is objectively inferior)
We could honestly probably say it’s empirically inferior.
Eh, the Switch has a few things going for it:
- smaller form factor and better battery life
- joycons are nice for casual gaming
- physical media can be lent and resold
- simpler to use - matters a lot for kids
I have and love both. I really like first party Nintendo titles, but I really dislike Nintendo’s legal arm.
A lot of their market practices aren’t great either. Backing up saves on your own hardware, anyone?
Sure, but I almost never care about backing up saves anyway. It would be nice for it to be a thing, but it’s really not something I personally care about.
Ideally, Switch’s software would be FOSS so I could do whatever I please with it, such as developing my own games, turning it into a media server, etc. But it provides enough value that I own one and some games to play with my wife and kids. I also own a Steam Deck which does have a FOSS OS, so it’s awesome that both exist.
Ok, but giving consumers control of THEIR data shouldn’t be optional. Same way car manufacturers shouldn’t get to decide who gets know about what happens inside YOUR car no matter how proprietary and unrepairable their internal systems get.
I’m a lot less happy about “both ‘options’ existing” when one is literally pushing for practices that should not be. Period.
I don’t care whether you personally care about your game saves. The fact remains that you, or any given person, might, and that those cases shouldn’t be an avenue to extort.
The main reason Nintendo gets away with it is that since you don’t care, and since they are only mistreating a minority of their users, there is no big backlash.
How long until grandpoobear is banned from posting their content for having poo in their name, just like they deleted all his Mario maker levels for having the word poo in them?
Nintendo already hates him. Remember how they twice deleted his Mario maker levels without explanation?
That makes sense. They already deleted his Mario maker levels without explanation… twice!
They literally said that
So did the comment they replied to. That was the joke, lol
It’ s outrageous. And the worst part is that twice in the past Nintendo deleted his Mario levels and gave no explanation. None! Poof! Gone.
Corporations need their shit slapped straight, on the topic of media ownership. If you want control over something - don’t sell it to ten million strangers.
Hope they get teached another lesson.
