I wasn’t Nintendo, it was Valve taking preemptive action because of how Nintendo has acted in the past…
It’s unfortunate, but it’s pretty reasonable given how Nintendo is.

“Hey, don’t use code for our dead game console we stopped manufacturing 22 years ago and don’t support anymore!”
Who gives a fuck, Nintendo?

Wasn’t it taken down at Valve’s request, not Nintendo’s demand?
SeedyOne@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Yes, but mainly because Valve doesn’t want to deal with Nintendo’s lawyers since it used their libraries.

I really wish they would and set a precedent for Nintendo’s anti-consumer tactics.

Officially yes. We have no idea if Nintendo sent a private email saying “please figure this out before we do.”

Nintendo could benefit greatly by just allowing these kind of projects, but that would be out of character.

It’s a bit like if Metallica had just embraced Napster

It was Scorpions that went after Napster, no?

It was primarily Metallica.

Lars Ultrash was the most publicly outspoken and often quoted in the Record Companies PR propaganda push for the DMCA and against Napster. He came off like a greedy bitch at the time, and created the perceptions of Metallica as a cash grab sell out band more than they already were being seen as by long time fans.
