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…
I can’t believe there’s people in here that don’t understand that this is a joke.
The fact it’s almost believable is both real and a serious problem.
It’s so close to reality that I’ll forgive it :P
LOL oh come on. I loved Yuzu a lot, and what they did to Bowser is fucked, but this is not all close to anything Nintendo has done.
Wait what did who do to bowser??
I live under a rock.
They’ve made him lose to Mario countless times!
Not even a good joke either, it’s like Facebook tier memeing
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.
This is a joke referencing Nintendo suing an emulator developer. It should not be considered news. The money amount is even the same.
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.
And everyone clapped
The CEO’s name – Albert Einstein.
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.
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.
Such a feel good story
(x) doubt
I know the ‘I bought the games beforehand!’ crowd will come out of of the woodwork real quick here, but they are of course trying to stop software that’s mainly used for piracy. At least wait until their stuff is off the shelves before you emulate it to ‘perserve’ it. There is no need to be this salty about it.
What are you on about?!
This is a joke about a cardboard switch.
OP commented about Yuzu alongside the image, it’s part of the reactionary ‘Nintendo = bad’ memes
I hope the ChatGPT and its siblings bring about the end of copyright. Unfortunately it’s more likely we’ll pervert the idea of personhood yet again and claim these things are people same as was done with corporations.
Happily an anarchist but also an artist, and I’m wondering why a complete lack of copyright would be a good thing.
Scenario A: I make a cool thing, it catches on, corpos with gajillions of dollars legally make tons of money off of it and leave me unable to pay rent and taking zero credit despite me doing all the actual work.
Scenario B: I make a cool thing, it catches on. It gets ripped off by everyone freely, and I’m left unable to pay rent and taking zero credit despite doing all the hard work. In fact, everyone who feels like it claims it as their own. I have zero recourse. This is all legal.
Scenario C: I’m a scuzzbag, so I copy-paste everyone else’s hard work onto various merch without their permission, pirate their software, make lots of money, cheat them out of the fruits of their labor. Except it’s all legal woo!
Scenario D: ChatGPT and its ilk have front-loaded all the theft, so now ripping off artists is transparently accessible to anyone who wants to pop in some “prompts” and claim they’re so creative. Hard-working artists are mocked as obsolete because their efforts were scraped and stolen. They struggle to pay rent and take no credit.
I hate copyright abuse (i.e Disney) as much as everyone else, but I also feel like the champions of “abolish copyright” want everything for free because they don’t make anything themselves, and creative efforts are just that: effort.
All of the scenarios occur today. Every single one of them.
You do see that, right?
Artistry predates copyright law.
Those things happen, and unfortunately the law as it stands is stacked against “the little guy”, but I still struggle to understand how “Just let everyone rip each other off and it’s not even wrong anymore” while forced to survive a hustle-or-die economy, would be a beneficial development.
Artistry predates the industrial revolution and industrialized commercial artmaking as well…so…? It’ll just be a hobby? But only a hobby reserved for the ultra rich because everyone else who would have otherwise done it are to busy working for someone else?
I’m serious here. I’m training really hard as an artist, and being completely unable to pursue ANY recourse against theft seems like it wouldn’t improve anyone’s lives at all…except maybe the fan communities of particularly-litigious entertainment giants…
If someone just starts mass producing “This thing in MonkeMischief’s style”, why the heck would anybody bother in the first place? As if alienation, depression, and struggle to find meaningful expression weren’t abundant enough these days already…
I’ve still yet to get a response that explains how it would all get better. Just “lol you’re wrong and should feel bad.”
I get it, using stuff unrestricted for free is lots of fun, but making profit from it when someone else made that thing feels pretty lame…
I’m gonna need a source on this one.
Yeah, fuck Nintendo but this is very obviously bullshit unless they actually made and sold a product.
Counterargument, Nintendo strikes nonprofit videos and tries to take down free and open source emulators such as Yuzu and Dolphin. The fact that this is so believable should give you an idea of the sort of shit Nintendo is known for.
Yuzu wasn’t completely free; that’s sort of what got them into hot water in the first place and the reason why Nintendo hasn’t also sued SNES9X into the dirt. Yuzu had a patreon with certain releases gated behind it. That’s what got them in trouble.
Looks like a joke to me
On the memes community?
If people continue to post jokes here then where will I get my news??
I strongly suggest that tere needs to be some enforcement by the mods on which formatting should be used for memes. @[email protected] @[email protected]
Spreads desinformation and calls it a joke when called out
