Nintendo Sends Cease & Desist to Game Awards For Showing Tears of the Kingdom Footage
"They can't keep the games on as nominees without footage to show, right? This means they're gonna free up two Game of the Year slots, for sure. This is how Starfield can still win," said Todd Howard.
Nintendo’s legal department ordered The Game Awards not to show copyright-protected gameplay footage of its games, specifically noting The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, during awards show’s annual ceremony this December.
hard drive does it again
I didn't realise this was hard drive 💀
Crazy how easy it was to believe that Nintendo would do this.
The most litigious of all game companies
They're the Disney of video games
just learned about nintendo's debt slave wtf
I dug up an old comment of mine for this quote from an article about that:
This process has already begun, with Nintendo taking back $175 from Bowser's prison job while incarcerated at the SeaTac Federal Detention Center in Washington.
For those like me who are a bit lazy, here's what the AI search engine says:
The phrase "Nintendo's debt slave" is likely a reference to the concept of debt bondage or debt slavery, which is the pledge of a person's services as security for the repayment of a debt or other obligation. This can involve a situation where the terms of repayment are not clearly or reasonably stated, or where the debt is excessively large, giving the person who holds the debt control over the laborer. In the context of the search results, there are references to Nintendo's involvement in a report exposing the use of forced labor in China for the production of its video game hardware, as well as a case of a hacker owing Nintendo a percentage of his salary for life. These references may have led to the use of the phrase "Nintendo's debt slave" to criticize the company's practices.
