Thank you. Iirc, they were the main hub for the pokemon in rpgmaker frameworks, and for all the games based off of that. Shame.

Nintendo is on their way of becoming one of the worst companies of the year for the fans. Fucking hell...

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 80 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This is not even remotely new for Nintendo, and is exactly how they have always reacted to fan games 🤷‍♂️

I saw a docu i think about smash bros. from nintendo, very cool docu serie btw, and the guys that organized the first tournaments got a letter or something that they where not allowed to organize such tournaments (mind you just fans playing the game in a bigger room nothing more) because, and here it comes, the game should not be played like that! Wtf.

(Ah yes The Smash Brothers 2013)

That doesn't make it any less vile.

It'd honestly be hilarious if all the creators just started rebranding their fan projects with Palworld Pals (or any other similar IP). Start shifting the discourse away from Pokemon. I'd love that.

Exactly. I'm proudly 3 years Nintendo-free, and I don't see myself going back anytime soon.

Once my Switch broke and the Steam Deck released, I decided I didn't want to bother with Nintendo anymore. They've been killing their communities for far too long.

Nintendo has kind of always sucked as far as passionate fans are concerned. Their products are some of the best out there, sure, but they are ruthless.

Playing devil's advocate, they're just protecting their IP. Problem is they can't spend resources or time figuring out who is or is not profiting from their work, so they just stamp out all the bugs in the house that get big enough to be noticed. I guess, I really don't know.

Stop supporting Nintendo. Boycott them.

I would ignore Nintendo even if no one else did, they stink and their orbiters are annoying and shallow. At least the Disney adults go outside.

It's the highest grossing media franchise of all time, what sort of question is this?

It's called a "rhetorical question". Glad to be of help.

The irony...

I am aware, yes.

Yeah it's literally free marketing for them and they're crushing the community.

Thank God it wasn't PokeMMO. I feel like they don't have long, though...

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm confused as to how that one wasn't shut down years ago, but others like this have been.

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago*

They tell all of their users that they must have a legitimate physical copy of Pokemon Firered, which is what PokeMMO was hacked from

[–] charliegrahamm@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago

They are very clever in how they handle Nintendo IP. Firstly, you must bring your own legitimate copies of the necessary titles:

Fire red Black/white Heartgold/soulsilver Emerald Platinum

Then they don't sell any Nintendo IP. Anything that is sold is either loosely based off Nintendo IP, or custom in-house design.

Granted, I'm still surprised it's not been taken down somehow, but I'm over 1k hours into the game and I'm loving it.

I've not really thought about it before, but how does a dmca takedown work? Is it just the company telling the hosting to get rid of it and they comply? What is to keep someone from self hosting or hosting somewhere hard to do anything about?

[–] muddybulldog@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago*

Once the alleged infringing content is removed, the infringing party has the option to file a Counter Claim in response, stating under penalty of perjury that the DMCA Notice is false. The OSP/ISP must wait 10-14 days after receiving a valid DMCA Counter Claim before reactivating or allowing access to the claimed infringing content. The claimant who filed the DMCA Takedown Notice must then file a court order against the infringing site owner and the OSP/ISP if they wish to keep the infringing content offline.

Self-hosters are also subject to DMCA. Failure to comply runs the risk of being sued.
