I truly do not understand what point this dude was trying to make and I’m not sure he does either.

MORE profit. That's always the reason.
Except that’s not what the case is about at all.
Even more fun to unpack is the assumptions the developer makes about the player’s gender and about women in general:
Tim said the same thing under my 2019 post given his experiences working with a major japanese publisher, but yeah, thought it needed repeating here!
Equally weird to me that despite this Nintendo is the only company to go to these lengths when many others, from Microsoft on down, don’t just avoid such punitive actions but sometimes even work WITH the modders and creators responsible.
“And just so we can get this on the record, in case you never realised that legal teams work harder than just checking Kotaku once a week, we did not post about this project, nor did we even mention it in passing, and yet Nintendo’s lawyers found it all the same.”
It’s mindblowing how this needs to be said. It’s like…
It’s weird to me that a gaming website is constantly surprised at the existence of copyright law, and doesn’t seem to quite grasp that the law does not require that you make money off the infringement for it to be illegal.
The worst part is it’s not even a particularly good image, strictly speaking in a visual appeal sense. It’s GeoCities tier ugly.
Ehhh, i’m sure some fan on Deviant art member 15 years ago made a better rendition of the Castlevania map I can right click.
It literally looks like they just copy pasted sprites all over the place. The map has very little artistic value that would warrant the precious space on my hard drive and the calories I would…
Just pulled off the heist of the year! Thanks!
Too late, I copied it to my hard drive which lasts alot longer than the 10 months these NFT's will be around.
Wow, nice huge pixel width link Konami. Is that what the lucky winner gets “ownership” of? Hope no one right-clicks saves-as:
What are you even talking about, Luke LAFRENIERE is the Luke who worked at LTT and he is still around LMG working on Floatplane and it’s on the WAN Show every friday lmao.
He’s never worked for Linus or LTT
Luke Plunkett lives in Australia, how did he worked with Linus in Canada?
I don’t think Luke Plunkett has ever worked for LTT? Are you thinking about Luke Lafreniere?
Are you referring to the Luke who formerly was in LTT videos, still co-hosts the WAN Show with Linus, and runs Floatplane Media? Because that Luke, and the one that wrote this article, are two VERY different Lukes...
Don’t see how it matters. It doesn’t affect or change anything, and I’d imagine he’s following Kotaku publication rules and instructions or else he likely would have.
