  I get the sentiment here, but it is absolutely hilarious to compare gmod content to the library of alexandria.

    Also wasn’t that library’s burning not as bad as everyone says? I thought we had copies of most of the stuff for some reason. Maybe I’m remembering wrong.

      There was never really “a burning” that destroyed it in one go. Over many years, there were numerous factors that caused many of the works to be lost. Some were lost to smaller fires, some were stolen, some just disintegrated due to age. If no one bothered to copy them by hand to have more than one copy, that was that.

      The library shrank over a long period due to the change in patronage, from rulers friendly to academia to some that had other priorities. The writings were taken to other places that were more interested in them. There was indeed a fire at some point but it only burned part of it and anyway by that time the collection was a fraction of what it used to be.

  All for the profits of a few people.

    There is no profit being made by harassing some innocent modders. If anything, projects like these are free advertising for Nintendo.

      Won’t you think of all that missed revenue because of IP misuse? It’s just as clear as with piracy: every unlawful download is 100% a sale the could have gotten, but didn’t . It’s simple geometry. We don’t need proof, because piracy bad. This IP misuse is just opening up the gate to further infringement, thus undermining their core business.
