Next headline "Hackers disappointed that the hacked source code is apparently just the same as the last 16 games"

I've been holding onto a pet conspiracy theory that BW2 was a last-minute change from Gray, loose ends and plot holes felt too rushed. Curious if the leaked source code will corroborate this.

Also design documents like the dude that mated with an octillery lol. The concept of people and pokemon breeding was still referenced in sinoh, but in a way tamer way.

Clearly I've been out of the series too long, what the fuck?

Patent the code and sue Nintendo when they release the game.

Pokemon could be made in RPG maker in like 5 minutes.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's a standard RPG but replace the equipment with animals. Done.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

Now I kind of want a Flintstones RPG.

Fuck yeah, going to compile me some free Pokémon!

[–] [email protected] 33 points 3 days ago

Noooo what a tragedy!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago

Now that's really interesting! I wonder where I can go to see this stuff...

[–] [email protected] 50 points 3 days ago (14 children)

Can I already get my hopes up for some PC ports?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago

Technically yes but I doubt anyone would go through the effort only to be sued into oblivion.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Probably not, that'd be piracy, and I'm sure that Nintendo will sue them to hell. 😅

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

@[email protected] and @[email protected].

I'm surely talking out of my rear-end, but isn't possible for an eventual developer to go the way of the SM64 port: having to provide a rom in order to get the assets? As far as I know, those responsible of said port haven't been bothered by Nintendo.

Tor is only as safe and as secure as the person using it.

Most people think just installing Tor and running protects them and their identity. Most don't even look at things like DNS leaks or think a VPN plus Tor helps, that being said. Tor and Mullvad are probably as private and as secure as you can get by default.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This is bad advice. Using a VPN with tor makes you much easier to track.

In my head this is a retribution for financing hackers that attacked Internet Archive and nobody can convince me otherwise

[–] [email protected] 31 points 3 days ago

This is a conspiracy theory I'm completely behind. With all the moves Nintendo has made recently this was the first thing I thought when Internet Archive was compromised

[–] [email protected] 38 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Nintendo was responsible for that?

[–] [email protected] 55 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (4 children)

It's like Lenin said, you look for the person who will benefit... And, uh... You know, you'll, uh... You know what I mean.

The Dude

„Who benefits the most” from attacking Internet Archive? Big copyright holders whose content was distributed via Internet Archive. The reason given by the group claiming responsibility is so silly I don’t believe it.

[edit] I’ll add to this comment so that I don’t have to reply to everyone specifically.

I don’t believe that if you wanted to attack USA (as people claiming responsibility did) you’d attack it in a way that benefits big corporations most. It sounds like a flimsy distraction from true perpetrators.

[–] [email protected] 68 points 3 days ago (3 children)

So you're just making wild assumptions?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's what I'm seeing, unless a documented source eventually shows up.
