Regardless of any semantic arguments you try to introduce, because Nintendo owns Smash Bros they have every right to protect it. It’s not about how someone may interpret their brand, it’s about protecting it in all situations, and not just the one’s they don’t like.

Except in this case the bully has every legal precedent to protect what is theirs, and Smash Bros is their brand. You’re trying to demonize Nintendo for protecting its property, but they’re doing exactly what any other company would do in their situation.

Your examples don’t add up. Modifying your car isn’t the same as modifying a video game, taking it to a popular video game tournament and making a profit off said tournament. This is 100% about profiting off of the modification and Nintendo not approving it because they don’t want their brand potentially tainted by…

Exactly, it may not be pirating, but using a Nintendo game in a way that wasn’t intended in a public setting where they’ll make profits off of the tournament is obviously not a good idea. They have every right to protect THEIR brand by preventing this sort of activity.

This is an incredibly asinine way of looking at things by basing it off what you think teachers should be doing. Just because you see teachers “doing nothing” during the day doesn’t mean their days are full of that when they don’t have kids to teach.

You don’t think management is responsible for people treating certain jobs like that in that way? 

Unfortunately that’s how the internet works. The first idiot posting something is usually the one benefiting the most regardless of how accurate they are. 

This claim that it would be easy with literally zero insight as to how they could actually do it that wouldn’t screw over users or developers is pretty ignorant. Further, this is the first we’re hearing of a developer complaining about this yet how long has the refund system been implemented? It may sound shitty, but…

Agreed, this is possibly the worst advice in how to deal with this.

Then it should be presented as enterprise advice. Suggesting that users disable their USB ports on their home computers to prevent this attack is like telling people that instead of locking your door when you leave the house you should just not have things people want to steal.

Agreed, this is only going to lead to bigger issues for people than actually helping them prevent the problem that is so minor for the average user not in a corporate environment. 

I think that was kind of the point that it was slanted, especially after how they were not only treated in the media, but by the NBA to appease the media. Their story deserved to be heard.

It’s one thing to sell people cheaper items they can afford, it’s another thing to sell it and make substantial profits on it because they have no other options because they can only afford what you’re selling. You kind of missed the point of the article when it clearly states that lower quantity items are sold for…

That’s a vast over simplification of the situation though to claim that local stores should just stock the lower units of items to compete with a Dollar store, especially when people won’t simply recognize that the Dollar store doesn’t have the lower cost items.

If you want society to be more accommodating for people to accept having a down syndrome or autistic baby you’d also have to support things like healthcare for all to cover medical costs that would allow people to afford supporting said child. Further, what about child care/support, would you support government…

Right, it’s about checking genetics as soon as a child is born and basing their entire life off that rather than seeing how they develop as a person physically and mentally. Not sure how the OP missed that as it’s the first like, 5 minutes of the movie. 

If you’re unlucky I can see how you’d be in the middle of playing a game and it gets pulled from gamepass, but the service is absolutely beneficial to gamers and acting like this is such a common occurrence is serious overreacting.

Right, because gamers were the ones hyping the game, totally not the studio itself who announced the game how many years prior to release...

So you admit that their marketing hyped the game and that fans bought into that hype, yet it’s the fans who are to blame for this debacle?
