Google takes the nuclear option
Same reason emulators are allowed. As long as the emulator doesn't use Nintendo's literal software/hardware or schematics, and as long as the emulator doesn't traffic in illegal file-sharing, it is allowed. Or at least, it exists in a legal grey area. And Analogue's pitch is original hardware, essentially rebuilt from scratch using FPGA technology. You still need actual Nintendo 64 carts to use this device. Or at least, that is how it is marketed.
I think the recent emulator shutdowns by Nintendo were more about software piracy. The devs knew that their emulators were being used to play unreleased Nintendo games. The emulators themselves may have been safe and legal, but the devs are mostly just volunteers, or small time operations running on a patreon. As soon as Nintendo applied even the smallest amount of pressure, the devs caved, because they don't want to spend their entire life savings and then some trying to defend software piracy on principle. Me thinks that Analogue would actually put up a fight if Nintendo tried anything, and that's why Nintendo doesn't try anything.
The emptiest threat in modern history. Everyone the world over knows that if the US cared about Palestinians enough to cut weapons funding, they would have done it months ago.
Thx it was pretty nuanced, wasn't sure if everyone would get it.
Do you think Square will be more or less anal about copyright on Final Fantasy music after Uematsu retires?
course not. he's an idiot that stumbled into a profitable gig, and then he let it slip through his kiddie-diddlin' little fingers.
Just in case you skip to the comments: the complaint is that actors are not being told anything about what game they are working on or what kind of scenes they will be doing. Then, they show up to the studio and they are asked to do explicit sex scenes or sexual assault scenes day-of with little warning or time to consider whether they are comfortable with that.
A bonus meme for all my homies who comment:
I love that the thumbnail for every article about Starfield is an uncomfortable close-up of a character's dialogue face.
"The sad truth is that there are no great 'social networks' right now," he said on X.
None that he owns, at least...
