  • just because the middle aged white guy with terrible opinions isn't catered to on platforms where the first users were ones fed up with middle aged white guys with terrible opinions, doesn't mean there's a problem, if anything it indicates federated social media is resistant to bullshit

  • that's the only hope, because Nintendo knows that as long as it goes to court, they can bleed out the palworld developers with endless legal attrition. I'm sure they know that these patents aren't concrete; they're just an easy way to drag people to court who can't afford to fight back

  • Then not even sell the damn things

    Sorta true. Nintendo has been monetizing emulation for years, ever since they started releasing "virtual console" games on the Wii web shop.

    The Switch now offers NES/SNES games as a benefit of their online service, and has released a handful of games as standalone releases which are literally just nicely-packaged emulators (Mario Sunshine and Galaxy 1/2 bundle for example)

    If emulation and "piracy" of old consoles is allowed, then Nintendo fears it won't be able to charge as much to repackage identical technology as full-price game releases.

  • Software parents, specifically game mechanic parents, are fucking insane. You should see the stuff Square Enix has patented following death stranding.

    I get the whole "they just reskinned my game mechanics!!!" but also: I don't. It's like saying Go, Draughts, Chess, etc. are copies or "infringing" on one another for being a board game set on a grid with black/white pieces.

    Even the idea of intellectual property is shaky for me but at least it's more clear cut whether you've directly copied or deceived someone with a similar design of a character.

  • People wonder why antisemitism is increasing exponentially and this post is a prime example of it: someone who I can probably guess is an American, probably secular or Christian, yet telling me that the state of Israel is actually just "Jews". It's blood libel to claim that the Jewish faith alone is responsible for acts of terror against civilians (because guess what, these pagers were imported for EVERYONE who makes use of pagers, including countless medical staff).

    I won't engage with antisemites like you, there is no saving anyone who has seen the last year (let alone 75 years) of unrelenting terror from Israel and the US, only to blame it on Jewish people who the majority of which have always lived outside of Israel. The Zionist project is a Christian and American project, and has turned the image of Judaism into one of hatred and slaughter on their behalf.

  • Maybe because OPs title implies the fans weren't cheering for the death of Gazan kids, tearing down Palestinian flags, and generally threatening Muslims?

    Not to mention many of the fans "attacked" were reservists for the IDF - actual fucking war criminals are being allowed to attend international football matches because the Dutch govt is complicit in genocide.
