Actually, sorry, but it does. Covering your investment is one thing, being an asshole because you can is an entirely different thing. Nintendo has made it their goal to show the world they are all about the latter one.
Nintendo isn’t a person. It’s a corporation. When their most important game of the year is leaked and spread on the web one week before release, they are kind of pressured to conduct legal action.
Yeah? 1. You’re pulling crap out of your ass. Nobody said it’s a person, it’s a bunch of picks running a company, we all know that.
2. They deserve to get fucked sideways with this and more for bullying people drowning them in legal action with their infinite money glitch, only because “why not?”.
So, without a pinch of respect for them, you or anyone that defends their asshole behavior, fuck off.
You’re talking about Nintendo as if it’s a person with phrases like your bullet point 2.
I’m not defending anyone. I’m describing how a corporation is likely to react in capitalism. I don’t condone any of this: I don’t condone copyright laws, I don’t condone legal threats, I don’t condone capitalism. I just try to describe how systems behave without trying to get morality involved by claiming a company is (or is run by) an or several assholes.
I also don’t condone nuclear weapons when I describe the strategy of deterrence by mutually assured destruction.
Outlets reporting on how Metroid Dread was running on emulators pre-release and describing how to pirate it makes Nintendo pursue actions to prevent that shit. They can’t prevent their games leaking, so they attack the emulators.
Is this so much harder to believe than Nintendo having a personal grudge?

What exactly am I “pulling out of my ass”?

So, the ROM leaking early has…what to do with emulators?
