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…
what a touching story!!
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
Such a feel good story
So that’s how Nintendo keeps the price of their games so low! They have a secondary revenue stream!
/s
Spreads desinformation and calls it a joke when called out
Clearly the father made a lot of money off that social media post. Nintendo is only trying to protect its IP!
I get my Nintendo fix via Super Tux and Super Tux Cart
(x) doubt
And everyone clapped
The CEO’s name – Albert Einstein.
This reminds me of those old urban legends about Disney’s lawyers.
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
It’s simple, steal another copy.
YOU WOULDN’T DOWNLOAD A SWITCH
Already ha… oh uh, I mean nope, I sure wouldn’t do that, ossifer law! :-P

still buying Nintendo hardware.
Steal that too, and if you wanna move the posts again consider emulation.

My laugh turned heads on the Metro. 🤣👍
Insensitive bastard!
To pay his debt this kid cuts out and sells hundreds of cardboard Disney characters every day! He has blisters so awful that he can now never play a switch even if he had one.
Per Snopes:
What’s True
A child in Venezuela made a cardboard Nintendo Gameboy to play a home-made version of Super Mario Bros.
What’s False
However, Nintendo did not send a cease-and-desist letter to this child, nor did the company sue his family for $200 million.
A picture with some text is not a news source. Boycott Nintendo for good reasons.
It’s a meme
Yeah my bad, went right over my head.
This is a joke referencing Nintendo suing an emulator developer. It should not be considered news. The money amount is even the same.
Oops, I’m slow on the uptake. Thanks.
This meme’s older than the latest yuzu thing. I’m pretty sure I saw it on reddit, and I haven’t been there in months. Nintendo’s been like this forever.
It is, but this one is a reference to Yuzu, you can tell by the money. Previously it was $200 million, where as Yuzu settled for $2.5m
Hmm, not sure if this is a real story. It might be.
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 in that time, 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?
