Id rather see someone play a leaked game early, then have to deal with some corporate garbage trailer that pulls all the stops to deceive it’s fans. I’d rather see actual gameplay, from a normal user then the slop they script.
They aren’t selling anything, so what does it matter other then tendo can’t lie as easily.
I mean I think the guy is stupid, but let’s honestly reflect here, who gives a fuck about some leaked Nintendo game getting played a week or two early. Like honestly, it might not technically be victimless (though even that can be argued), but the ‘damage’ is so small it’s like being upset that someone stepped on your grass.
This dumbass contacted Nintendo to taunt them about how he's gonna stream leaked pirated copies. Hard to have sympathy for this idiot for poking the bear.
Turns out, when you do something clearly not okay and then actively go and taunt the people who could sue you for it with it, they might just, you know, do that. Since you actually went and asked them about it.

You know, it’s okay to recognize Nintendo’s scummy legal practices while also recognizing that in this one single instance they are in the right.

IP law is an illegitimate institution, so no they’re absolutely not.
Well that’s not how the law works, you don’t get to violate it just because you don’t like it.
That’s sovereign citizen BS, and that never ends well for them either.

You understand that arguments about the legitimacy of law is an argument about whether a law should exist rather than if a law does exist, right?
There’s a difference between saying that someone’s “in the right” (which they’re absolutely not) and saying someone is legally capable of doing what they want. (which is debatable)
Sometime a streamer, he show his pre-release to corporation Nintendo and say “You will never get this you will never get it la la la la la la.” Nintendo behind its lawyer. Nintendo cries, Nintendo cries and everybody laughs. Streamer goes “You never get this.” But one time Nintendo send lawsuit and Nintendo “get this” and then we all laugh. High five!

I have no issues with piracy, but streaming pirated materials is just dumb. Streaming pirated materials of a company that is known for being litigious? Just put your whole dick in the wasp nest.
That’s why this is funny.

…why? Pirating games and streaming games don’t correlate to skill in testing games.

Agreed. I hate Nintendo and their scummy tactics just like anyone else, but sadly the law is on their side here. Also, they’re known for this. Why would you do this and then double down after they start taking down your content.
I am not on Nintendo’s side, but I have zero sympathy for someone who does this to themselves.
When you distribute physical copies of games to stores, I don't think it's really practical to prevent physical copies from getting taken inappropriately 100%
Then that pretty much defeats the purpose of physical media, people will be out in droves angry that they can't play their new games offline or have to day 1 patch, etc
There's no perfect solution here.

Obviously you just mandate your game and console be always online and at that point you may as well just live stream the game to their house, don’t need to download if you never actually own it right?? Make them pay per the minute of game time and only unlock the next level after they’ve played long enough! Hell! Why even sell a game?? Just have people pay you for the right to advertise that they paid for it and charge them a daily subscription to keep the rights! Nobody owns anything but you! Art and entertainment is merely a vessel to siphon money from the masses! Purchase their souls for a hit of dopamine! Rent them their own eyes!

Amazing response to Nintendo. Get fucked tendo, get fucked. You control nothing
Playing leaked games early. Wow, you have no standards. Just hate for Nintendo.
I give back what I receive, so in theory…yes.

Oh no, playing leaked games early!

Streamer sounds like an idiot:
They emailed Nintendo directly about plans to continue doing so;
There is nothing wrong with emulators. The ROMs themselves, sure. Emulators? Heck no
But there is something wrong with emailing Nintendo to say “No matter what you do, I’m going to help more people pirate your games!”
There’s no such thing as being too based.
Based on what?
Stupidity apparently.
Whether there is something wrong with doing that is a matter of ethics and personal values…
Regardless of those, it’s profoundly stupid to taunt Nintendo with confessions of piracy and threats to commit more

It sounds like they actually control quite a lot.

There comes a point where being right doesn’t matter more than the fact that they’re cunts.

To all the downvoters…this is a Borat reference…
We know. It wasn't funny.
Streaming bootlegged games is a fast track to legal trouble. I don’t blame Nintendo at all here.
Nintendo should hire him to beta test its games. Problem solved.

It’s colossally stupid.
There are some fires you don’t have to play with.
So how have they not solved their issue with every game getting leaked a week early?

Make 'em require an online patch to be playable after first install.
Actually, I should shut the fuck up, they might actually hear me

Sounds like a them problem. Nintendo are assholes.
people play games prior to release all the time, the major issue here is streaming it. (and uh directly antagonizing nintendo didn't help)
well then they couldn’t sue people and that seems to be a large portion of what Nintendo does
