Have you heard of Tanglewood? I backed it on Kickstarter and it lived up to expectations! I even got a for-real Genesis cartridge that can play back on any Genesis or Mega Drive!
Re: Re: Re: One thing confuses me about Nintendo, though.
you really don't want to start basing laws on mainstream fashions.
This is too often a problem with legislation these days, such as the rush to legislate targeting Facebook but would end up affecting the entire internet making Facebook the de facto internet as a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Who are you to demand that they offer "best" quality for their product?
People paying US$30 extra, for starters.
Maybe customers are not willing to pay real money for that feature, so the product vendors are not willng to invest their hard-earned cash to create "best" product in the world. Cheap products are never going to be the best products in the world, whether you like it or not.
Good point. That's why I haven't purchased Nintendo Switch Online Plus and I assume a lot of other people have not either.
It is within nntendo's right to DMCA those emulators and rom sites which are designed for pirated roms.
I don't think anyone here suggested otherwise. They just think it's a bad idea that hurts Nintendo long-term and causes ill-will towards them.
Why cant they build their own games and make them successful and then build emulators?
You're acting like people don't do this already, such as Toby Fox or every creator of a Legend of Zelda clone or a Metroidvania, among many, many others. Not only that, some developers make games that are similar to Nintendo games and then Nintendo licenses them on their own system!
It's just that Nintendo's constant litigation against their fans and then delivering a substandard product is a PR nightmare, to put it lightly.
I do it because it's fun. I'm sorry. I know I'm feeding the troll, but I've grown fond of cooking troll food as long as the restaurant is the TechDirt Comment Café.
You know how I said that I made $6 on bandcamp from one album? 0% of them downloaded the album (I assume they will listen on Spotify or wherever). So that means I have 100% less customers to worry about. I also upload my album to the internet archive, and people can share as they please. I would only be concerned if
people try to sell my work or any adaptation of my work, and/or
people don't credit me.
And yet I made as much money as you did. Fancy that!
Wait, elementary to junior high children is your target demographic? They'd be more interested in Roblox or Minecraft (and can create awesome stuff therein). You're bonkers if you think you can compete with them out of all companies.
Without N64, there is no good reason to purchase NSO+.
Which explains why I haven't gotten it yet. Fortunately, I have an N64 (as in the real thing) which I never gave up or sold, so at least I have some legal alternatives.

Toby Fox is a great example, having made Undertale after making an Earthbound ROM-hack.

I really hope this is not an aberration and a precedent to beat these "contempt of cop" charges in the future!

I would indeed be one to make that argument. NSO is worth it. NSO+? Not so much.

I disrespecfully disagree. Suing people for sharing my copyrighted work creates ill will among fans, who will then pirate out of spite. Waiving that part of © for my work is a genuine sign of good will towards people who like my work. Not only that, but the fact that I made the same amount of money giving that up on my work (for that particular work) that you made on Meshpage shows that maybe I don't need litigation to make money.

Now you're getting it. See, that has more to do with how successful a product is rather than ©.
