And to the one dipshit saying, “hurrrrrr… durr… y dun teh guy put in da xtra effort ta make own gayme instead of fan thingies?” Do you understand how much time and effort goes into making one of these things? A hell of a whole lot. Stop trying to defend something like this. What is it with all these blind fucking fanboys defending Nintendo constantly taking down FREE fangames that do NOT make a profit? Stop it. But good GOD, even I know when they’re just being assholes and fucking up. But now I’m worried, because how long before Nintendo goes after cosplayers using Patreon to fund their cosplays of characters like Link, Zelda, Mario, Samus, etc? :/ (I want to say legal since he won’t be making money as the money will go directly into the project so it’s not like he’s keeping any of it since the mod was being given away for free & I want to believe that is protected under fair use.) I’ll leave the debate on it to people that know how copyright & trademark laws work.Īnyway, I’m done with that subject as I’ve said my opinion on the matter. I won’t comment on whether it’s legal or illegal. Maybe even hire him to help with their Super Mario 64 multiplayer project as a support developer since he’s had some experience with adding a multiplayer function to Super Mario 64. If they were working on their own multiplayer for Super Mario 64, they could have politely asked him to stop because his mod was going to interfere with their own plans.
Nintendo & TPC can send a message that it’s not cool but also send a message they are okay with it as long as they get a piece of any profits & aren’t being robbed. They could have done the same here but instead, like TPC, went the asshole route. It could have been good publicity for TPC & Nintendo, because they would have shown they are cool with people throwing Nintendo themed parties as long as they don’t make money or as long as they get a piece of the profit if the person is making a profit. They could have also asked for a piece of any profit he made from it, but they chose to be assholes & shut him down instead. I had this same issue when TPC went after the guy who asked for a small fee to join his Pokemon themed party & he was not making money, either, as the money he got went to pay for the expenses. He’s asked for donations, sure, but any money he makes is going into something he won’t even be selling so he’s not actually making any money.
