    Nintendo’s stagnated and has become a patent troll

    as someone that used to be a fan I’m sad as it’s hard to be hyped for any of their games when they’re widely known for pulling these kinds of scummy tactics time and time again

    indies be dammed, it’s too much of a risk to make Nintendo-inspired games let alone direct fan-games

          And is just an extension to their licensing nonsense and publishing deals thst came beforex

          Anyone surprised by any of this doesn’t care about Nintendo’s behaviour, just the impact the current move is having on their current fun.

      It’s a shame you can’t support nintendo’s developers while excluding their legal department. Oh well, the high seas mean I still get to enjoy what I want to

      People can’t even make a mod that requires the base game to work.
