Honestly, a bit surprised by this. It wasn't even on Steam. Hopefully switching to an open source SDK will get this back up.

"Hey, don't use code for our dead game console we stopped manufacturing 22 years ago and don't support anymore!"

Who gives a fuck, Nintendo?

It wasn't Nintendo, it was Valve taking preemptive action because of how Nintendo has acted in the past...

It's unfortunate, but it's pretty reasonable given how Nintendo is.

Wasn’t it taken down at Valve’s request, not Nintendo’s demand?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Officially yes. We have no idea if Nintendo sent a private email saying "please figure this out before we do."

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but mainly because Valve doesn't want to deal with Nintendo's lawyers since it used their libraries.

I really wish they would and set a precedent for Nintendo's anti-consumer tactics.

Nintendo could benefit greatly by just allowing these kind of projects, but that would be out of character and we can't be having that.

It's a bit like if Metallica had just embraced Napster

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It was Scorpions that went after Napster, no?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

It was primarily Metallica.
