Relic Castle,
is the site name that got DMCAd by Nintendont.

Saves you from opening the article.

Thank you. Iirc, they were the main hub for the pokemon in rpgmaker frameworks, and for all the games based off of that. Shame.

Nintendo is on their way of becoming one of the worst companies of the year for the fans. Fucking hell...

Nintendo has kind of always sucked as far as passionate fans are concerned. Their products are some of the best out there, sure, but they are ruthless.

Playing devil's advocate, they're just protecting their IP. Problem is they can't spend resources or time figuring out who is or is not profiting from their work, so they just stamp out all the bugs in the house that get big enough to be noticed. I guess, I really don't know.

It's the highest grossing media franchise of all time, what sort of question is this?

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's called a "rhetorical question". Glad to be of help.

I am aware, yes.

this is what baffles me. its already a huge hit, why bully fans for even more money?

im sure a big part of this success comes from fans doing things like that for free out of sheer passion for it, and nintendo just comes along to stop it....
