Its still on Reddit, and that was the first place it was uploaded to. And the cease and desist is the asking nicely. Having all videos nuked from Twitter and YouTube is going a little beyond a letter.

Also, if this is illegal, why is it still able to exist on reddit? Why is kotaku able to show clips of it? Why is fan art allowed to exist? Why HASN’T Nintendo sent a cease and desist?

If its a slam dunk, than why aren't they suing?

Of course they "could" but they haven't and probably won't. Making the assumption that this is American based, there is first amendment protections, and it would be an easy argument for a lawyer to argue that this is artist expression. Even if they did alter the original work, this could be considered a derivative…

I think this is absolutely parody, and could definitely be argued as such.

True, and I don't know where the creator is located. But I can only go by the laws and regulations I'm aware of, and can't research every single countries copyright law. But given Nintendo hasn't sued the creator, I'm assuming there isn't a legal angle here.

This is unlikely a legal issue like everyone thinks. They can’t sue the creator just for making the game, so long as he isn’t profiting off it, it’s considered fair use/parody. However, Youtube/Twitter likely make Ad money from Nintendo, and probably a lot of it. So Nintendo holds a lot more sway with those sites.…

They couldn’t, as porn sites would likely ignore them. Youtube/Twitter make ad money from Nintendo, and probably a lot of ad money.

I don’t even think this is a matter of copyright law, it’s a matter of Nintendo being a source of Ad Revenue for Youtube/Twitter.

I don’t think that would affect sites that aren’t hosted in Japan. Youtube/Twitter probably just make a lot of Ad Money from Nintendo. This wouldn’t be considered illegal in the states, as long as the creator isn’t making money on it. Than it’s fair use/parody.

This isn’t illegal. Nintendo can’t sue the creator of this. They’re forcing Youtube and Twitter to remove videos, and they’re complying likely because of the ad money they make from Nintendo. Nintendo likely doesn’t have the same amount of sway over Reddit though.

This... Isn’t Copyright infringement though. It’s technically would be considered fair use/ a Parody. Which is why Nintendo isn’t suing the maker, they’re just forcing Youtube, and Twitter to take down videos. Which they’re likely complying due to business reasons, not legal reasons. I’m sure Youtube/twitter gets…

Perhaps, perhaps not. Given it has a specific slow pace, perhaps with 4 people they found players could more easily brute force through levels faster than they wanted.

I suspect it’s more likely a balancing thing. Maybe in play testing they found having 4 players made the game too easy?

What I read this as is MS is probably negotiating with Sony. Probably also negotiating Cross play between systems (Something Sony has been averse to), as well as some exclusives Sony has that MS probably would like to be less exclusive. Even if just on PC, because remember MS does own the Windows operating system too,…

Probably not the best game for 2 people.

It was never expected that he'd actually play it, as it was a mostly symbolic gesture. But private security can be a lot more lax than you might think. Unlikely they'd give a shit. And even if asked to check it beforehand, would probably just end up playing it on their shift.

Except that’s %100 bullshit because A: There have already been plenty of examples of people selling fake NFTs successfully, and art they don't actually own, completely ruining any pretense that NFTs can be used as a more secure way to sell art, and B: Most art created with the express purpose of being an NFT look like…

There are plenty of rich people with way more money than sense. It’s less about sound investment, and more about spending money for the sake of spending money. Again, they’re most interested in catching that very small amount of people who are both rich, and dumb enough to fall for the scam.

Agreed. Unfortunately there are a lot of stupid people out there, and this is painfully a reminder of why NFT scams (Both ‘Legit’, and full fledged scams like this.) are probably not going away.
