Ok, so it’s not just me that didn’t see the appeal of that channel. So many people seem to be raving about it. I mean he doesn’t seem like a bad guy, and it seems like it should be right up my alley by all the keywords, but man the content is... meh. And yes, that smug face.

Correct. I inferred that this would not be a story, if they could indeed redeem after termination.
The rush of people doing it before being told seemed to indicate that, but I may have misinterpreted. Otherwise it seemed like unimportant information that it had to happen fast - the below quotes don’t make much sense if…

Nintendo “M” - AKA The Nintendom

Right? Yeah it was insane, felt so off. Didn’t even get to the party before half of them had hit on me. But yes, thankfully it was a bug that had set the relationship threshhold for romance way too low.

How shitty do you have to be as a company, to not allow people to redeem their fairly earned game time codes *after* they’ve been laid off too?
As shitty as Blizzard, apparently.

*sigh*

I WANT the romance and the boinking, but it was even offputting to me as well - thank god it turned out to be a bug which they’ve since fixed.

This is the best comment to wake up to on a Sunday - thank you again, wonderful story :) I love hearing explanations for loan words, and etymology in general.

Fantastic, thank you ^_^
The one that puzzles me the most is “viking”. I’m gonna look into that one ;)

This thread is earnest, and hillarious to the outside observer.

Ok thanks! It’s irrelevant in this particular case though unless Japan has the same stipulation, since it’s a Japanese company (potentially) suing another Japanese company.

ImmaLion talked about copyright law. You’re quoting trademark law.
Do you have any sources for the same regarding copyright? They are not the same.

That seems to go against what copyright is meant to do (i.e. be an automatic protection for creators, in order to incentivise creation rather than copying). Do you have a source for this?

If you just mean that you need to be able to show the likelihood of you being the original creator if a conflict arises, then yeah…

I can’t believe people pay for Call of Battlefield, Fortnite mtx, or even Fallout 76 - yet here we are.

Luckily there are games for a lot of different tastes out there, and if you didn’t want to pay $70 or was unsure, you could always play it on GamePass.

Can I suggest a cheap Dymo/label printer? I feel like it’ll serve you better and they are WAY more stable. Plus, it prints on paper with glue!
You can get them for printing barcodes/2D/QR too.

I have no use for a printer myself ever though; for passwords I use a password manager with desktop and phone app. If I want to…

I doubt Nintendo could punish them in any meaningful way. Considering the Game Genie lawsuit back in the NES days, it’s unlikely that Nintendo has any sort of working relationship with these companies.
That means:
A) That they have zero insight into Nintendos actual plans
and
B) That Ninetendo can’t really “punish” them…

Considering the scope of the game, release this year, publisher, and the IP, it is super interesting to me that there is so little buzz/discussion here about it.
Usually there’d be a lot of posts, even if they were just rifs on “this looks bland/boring” or “yay fantastic!” or whatever.

* hyperbolic joke, not statement of fact

Even if that statement is taken at face value, I think you VASTLY overestimate how much money/purchasing power/ad interest middle schoolers bring to the streaming table compared to everyone else.

This is only until they aren’t. And what then?
