Wasn't Yuzu selling access to a discord channel with pirated ROMs as a patreon tier?

It's easier than making games i guess.

Line go up until it kills us all

Yes, Nintendo is famously bad at making games and are short on cash so they have to earn money this way now. Sad state of affairs. That’s probably why nobody wants to emulate those games on PC.

Why was Palworld such a threat to them if they make superior games?

Pokémon is not made by Nintendo.

[–] WordBox@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

You're not right enough to have a point. The games are published by Nintendo along with game freak and Pokemon co.

There’s a multiple additional arguments why Nintendo behaves the way they do in regards to trademark and copyright but mixing in Pokémon Company and GameFreak just detracts from the conversation. Those two companies have vastly different game design philosophies and while Pokémon is intrinsically linked with Nintendo hardware, those games are not Nintendo games.

The argument from people hating on Nintendo is usually self contradictory. Nobody could be so hung up on Nintendo if they didn’t like their games. I don’t like sports games so I ignore them rather than trying to torrent latest game of football.
