“Go, Nintendo! Use Lawsuit!”

theangriestbird@beehaw.org on 24 Sep 16:55 next collapse

my understanding is that some Nintendo execs are green card holders, so this will be the one time they don’t sue anybody.

Trump has already shown that greenness of cards means nothing to him, so it’s not like these people would be losing any immigration safe ground by not suing.

one would think Nintendo would want to get back at the Trump admin for fucking with their money so much via tariffs. but I guess they don’t see it that way. Nintendo has always been cautious/conservative to a fault.

Nintendo only sues people that don’t have enough money to fight back.

Where’s the emotion of the hunt in that!!!

I’m sure they have $100,000/year to spare.

Trump v Nintendo would be an interesting fight…

I’m not even sure how that would play out.

They’re scared pussies

what’s that? Nintendo’s supporting the Department of Homeland Security? I’m enraged. These woke devs putting politics in our games! I’m never buying another Nintendo product again! (If enough of us say it, maybe we can pressure Nintendo to sue?)

There’s something about that meme that just works better in low resolution.

einkorn@feddit.org on 24 Sep 18:52 next collapse

You mean it works better when it comes to hurting my eyes?

I respectfully disagree. :)
