Cowards. Both Nintendo and the devs for not even bothering with fighting back.
Ahh look at that, a person on the internet having a big mouth without actually having knowledge into the matter. Nothing new.
They are not cowards at all.
Never take on a corporate company that has billions to spend for the suing. They took the smartest and best route for themselves and that’s what matters - what’s best for them.
If you want someone to “fight” against Nintendo, be the change! Do it yourself.
And also probably live in Russia (or another CIS state) you know, like most of the famous crackers who still do this and continue to get away with it. Otherwise they (Nintendo or some other western Corpo) will just do the same thing all over again.
Or you could just have a team there, but it didn't work so well for Gary Bowser, so if you go that route consider the first option.
Sony shouldn't sue anyone emulating PS4/5 stuff. AFAIK, PC is the king of modding.
Yeah maybe not, it's mostly just Nintendo, I wouldn't put it behind Microsoft to do something similar, though they haven't tried anything yet, and also don't really have any console exclusives anymore (that they care about, most of them are forgotten on Xbox 360).
Technically suing costs the company nothing. They are paying lawyers anyway.
I doubt they're cowards. Nintendo could smack everyone on the team back into the middle ages. Settling i imagine would end it now instead of completely ruining thier lives.
