after what happened with yuzu emu, im done…
EDIT: This post is a joke! It was posted in /c/memes, of course it is going to be a meme! If you consider this news, please re-evaluate your choice of sources.
At the same time, I think it says something about Nintendo that some actually believed this…
I strongly suggest that tere needs to be some enforcement by the mods on which formatting should be used for memes. @cypherpunks@lemmy.ml @cyclohexane@lemmy.ml
I can’t believe there’s people in here that don’t understand that this is a joke.
The fact it’s almost believable is both real and a serious problem.
…joke?
You know sometimes jokes fall flat
Not even a good joke either, it’s like Facebook tier memeing
It’s so close to reality that I’ll forgive it :P
LOL oh come on. I loved Yuzu a lot, and what they did to Bowser is fucked, but this is not all close to anything Nintendo has done.
Wait what did who do to bowser??
I live under a rock.
He’s been fired. He’s in talks with Sony now.
They’ve made him lose to Mario countless times!
And I can’t believe that there are people like you who still underestimate how gullible people can be.
Despite understanding that it’s a joke, i don’t think that it’s a meme This is just a picture of text joke
You’ve been banned from /memes
This is just a picture of text joke
I think you just described every “meme” I’ve ever seen.
Paco Gutierrez, age 9
And everyone clapped
The CEO’s name – Albert Einstein.
Hmm, not sure if this is a real story. It might be.
I’m gonna need a source on this one.
No, just love the meme.
Nah this happened to my buddy Eric the other day
Yeah this originally a copypasta about a boy from Venezuela named Paco Gutierrez
The source got pulled off Github already.
I think it’s super not real. So unreal it cycles back to real again. Poor thailand boy.
Looks like a joke to me
Meme before I’ve had my coffee? It’s more likely than you think.
On the memes community?
If people continue to post jokes here then where will I get my news??
That’s the neat part, you don’t!
That’s never been done before, we’re part of history!
On the shitpost one obviosly . Are you dumb ?
But if that’s for news, where do I get my HQ jemes?
On the world news one. God these idiots nowadays .
I am!
Yeah, fuck Nintendo but this is very obviously bullshit unless they actually made and sold a product.
Counterargument, Nintendo strikes nonprofit videos and tries to take down free and open source emulators such as Yuzu and Dolphin. The fact that this is so believable should give you an idea of the sort of shit Nintendo is known for.
Yuzu wasn’t completely free; that’s sort of what got them into hot water in the first place and the reason why Nintendo hasn’t also sued SNES9X into the dirt. Yuzu had a patreon with certain releases gated behind it. That’s what got them in trouble.
Well, we’ll see if Suyu lasts. Hopefully it was just the monetization.
Very obviously a joke. Cardboard, people! :)
This reminds me of those old urban legends about Disney’s lawyers.
I know the ‘I bought the games beforehand!’ crowd will come out of of the woodwork real quick here, but they are of course trying to stop software that’s mainly used for piracy. At least wait until their stuff is off the shelves before you emulate it to ‘perserve’ it. There is no need to be this salty about it.
A) He didn’t pirate anything. Just drew a picture of a game on a piece of cardboard.
B) It didn’t actually happen anyway.
Uh excuse me ma’am, you’re in a meme post right now.
Fuck all this “ethics” BS, I steal because it’s fun 😤
Stopping software mainly used for piracy has equated to the inability to do what you like with what you rightfully purchase
What are you on about?!
This is a joke about a cardboard switch.
OP commented about Yuzu alongside the image, it’s part of the reactionary ‘Nintendo = bad’ memes
This meme is not new calling it reactionary is funny. Speaking of funny, Nintendo has previously employed private investigators to investigate and stalk modders so they could sue them better. This is an old meme for a old problem.
In nintendos defense, they’re perfectly fine taking away your ability to emulate 30 year old games they don’t give a shit about too, just for a little more money. Usually, companies rely on good will with their customers to survive, apparently nintendo doesn’t think they need that anymore.
Other than making games that people like, I’m struggling to think of things Nintendo has done to foster goodwill.
So that’s how Nintendo keeps the price of their games so low! They have a secondary revenue stream!
/s
Such a feel good story
Spreads desinformation and calls it a joke when called out
I saw a lot of cool Nintendo Lego creations recently at a convention. Nothing had Nintendo names. Instead of Goomba, it was named “angry mushroom” and stuff like that.
Also Disney once told a family no multiple times regarding putting Spider-Man on their dead child’s tombstone.
Fuck these corporations.
Also Disney once told a family no multiple times regarding putting Spider-Man on their dead child’s tombstone.
This is one of those situations where it’s better to ask forgiveness than permission. Even the most cold-hearted corporate ghoul is going to understand the cost/benefit of going after that family isn’t remotely worth it.
Yeah, the lawyers are going to say “no”. But even if they’re stupid enough to sue: some suit that isn’t a moron is going to tell them to drop it during the ensuing PR nightmare, and the family will be swimming in donations.
“This Spider Man thing really paid off, Honey!”
Well the reason it is like this, is because the lawyers that get to decide are “only doing their job” and can blame the policy. The ones responsible for policy are just slaves to the megacorp automaton machine that continues to not regard morals or ethics or laws in its hunger for profit. The one responsible for this mess is a machine where you can replace any or even all individuals and it will still continue to globally absorb value and eat anyone in its way. We nurture and cheer these machines on because they give us “profit” when in fact it gives only some profits to specific people that hoard it in Panama. I am very against these entities of destruction, but targeting any individual human is never going to help, and we probably can’t stop them without actually using politics. Except all available options in politics all want to and are praised for nurturing these entities because they bring illusory cash flow to the region
I’m in Thailand and knockoff Disney stuff (and Legos) are pretty normal. And it’s nice. The kids buying them have to deal with seeing their ads plastered all over town, so it’s nice there are versions they can buy. I just wish they were so shitty quality and the big companies markup wasn’t so fucking insane. Lego sets pretty regularly hit $200-$300 here. There literally is no Nintendo Thailand, so game prices are pretty random based on import fees that retailers can negotiate (or sneak through).
The nice thing is no one gives a shit about piracy. No risks really.
Worked in retail awhile back. Kept having glass shit fall off displays and ends. It wasn’t TOO often, just enough to be an annoyance. They were stacking glass product on top of one another. I explained why this was a problem; they didn’t care. Some time later I came back to the bosses with an argument:
This is how much we’re charging for the product.
This is how much I make per hour.
Cleanup of said broken product takes X time.
This is how much I make, or Y.
Which means a single broken product that breaks costs you Z, multiplied by the number of times it happens, plus the cost of the product itself.
This was what got their attention. These people usually aren’t human, they’re sociopaths. Remember that.
I think boss was just lazy to think about it in this case and you gave him no other choice thou 😅
A * B * C = X
If X is less than the cost of a recall, they don’t do one.
What are the variables?
Nah don’t boycott Nintendo’s shit; steal it.
How to steal something you can’t own? Instructions unclear /s
*make an unauthorized copy of it
YOU WOULDN’T DOWNLOAD A SWITCH
It’s simple, steal another copy.
Already ha… oh uh, I mean nope, I sure wouldn’t do that, ossifer law! :-P
You’re still buying Nintendo hardware.
Honestly, I stopped using Nintendo because of all the joycon issues, the fact they’ve been mainly just remaking the same games for 30 years and they screwed Wii u customers. You need to re buy the same games again.
On Wii u, not sure if this changed, but if you broke the main controller, you basically couldn’t replace it.
They have a better rep than Microsoft and Sony , but I’m not convinced they deserve it
No idea why anyone would buy anything except a steamdeck these days
still buying Nintendo hardware.
Steal that too, and if you wanna move the posts again consider emulation.
My laugh turned heads on the Metro. 🤣👍
Clearly the father made a lot of money off that social media post. Nintendo is only trying to protect its IP!
