Stop supporting Nintendo. Boycott them.
“There are dozens of us!”
I would ignore Nintendo even if no one else did, they stink and their orbiters are annoying and shallow. At least the Disney adults go outside.
Nintendo is on their way of becoming one of the worst companies of the year for the fans. Fucking hell…
This is not even remotely new for Nintendo, and is exactly how they have always reacted to fan games 🤷♂️
That doesn’t make it any less vile.
it makes it more ridiculous that people who don’t like this kind of behavior support nintendo at all.
Exactly. I’m proudly 3 years Nintendo-free, and I don’t see myself going back anytime soon.
Once my Switch broke and the Steam Deck released, I decided I didn’t want to bother with Nintendo anymore. They’ve been killing their communities for far too long.
I’ve not really thought about it before, but how does a dmca takedown work? Is it just the company telling the hosting to get rid of it and they comply? What is to keep someone from self hosting or hosting somewhere hard to do anything about?
Once the alleged infringing content is removed, the infringing party has the option to file a Counter Claim in response, stating under penalty of perjury that the DMCA Notice is false. The OSP/ISP must wait 10-14 days after receiving a valid DMCA Counter Claim before reactivating or allowing access to the claimed infringing content. The claimant who filed the DMCA Takedown Notice must then file a court order against the infringing site owner and the OSP/ISP if they wish to keep the infringing content offline.
Self-hosters are also subject to DMCA. Failure to comply runs the risk of being sued.

Not if the self-hoster is self-hosting out of DMCA jurisdiction. Also, not if the self-hoster can not be found (say, redirect your mailer to
/dev/null
).
