Man, mobile game ads are like the weird offspring of Elsagate vids and bowling alley animations.

The point of age-restriction was always just a ploy to get you to insert payment information and/or personal identification documents into their system.

Can someone explain to me why we as a society even still have the concept of random words arbitrarily being designated as “swears”? I can understand slurs, but who was it who decided one day “ok no one should say ‘ass’ cuz it’s too naughty”? Kinda feels like if people just stopped caring about the “shocking impact” of…

What’s even the point of having age-restricted videos then?

“I’m not a criminal; I just collaborated with criminals so we could do crimes together.”

‘I’m not a crook I’m just an idiot - I swear!’

I mean as far as defenses go most will buy it from Logan. 

Thank you. People giving them an out because they are a Japanese company is such bullshit. Like you said, it’s 2023 now that shit don’t fly anymore 

An NDA only applies to the parties that signed it. DYKG didn’t sign anything with Nintendo so they aren’t bound to any terms in said NDA (if one even would still apply to a former employee who’s employment ended 20 yrs ago)

“The video poured over”

Nintendo is like Disney. On a similar topic: Sadly, I learned today that my Canadian government changed the copyright laws (this month) again in order to prevent IPs from joining the public domain for the life of the author plus another 70 years. We went from 50 to 70 years... 😥

They’re doing that shit for SEO/Clicks. Hate it.

You’re confusing policy and implementation of policy.

“The video poured* over the design goals and delved into why the studio best known for Metroid Prime was interested in making it in the first place”

Mr. Miyamoto’s Mario Megacorp Mention Makes Man Moan Maniacally

Even assuming that’s true, why does Nintendo seem to be the only gaming company with this issue? Either way, they need to get their act together.

I don’t need a factcheck to realize this is a joke, but apparently a lot of Facebook aunts and uncles do.

“While that option still remains, the Mario maker would now have to take the channel to court to get the video removed again”

It kinda just seems like most major Japan-based game companies actively hate their fanbases, but that seems unlikely. What is more likely is that Japanese intellectual property law is so absolutely turbo-fucked that anyone engaging with the IP outside of approved, carefully manicured channels is perceived as a threat.

I love how you phrased this as though those other examples would help clarify the concept, as opposed to my being equally oblivious. (Thank you for the clarification, truly, that makes way more sense.)
