Nintendo continues its fight against gamers

[Lord Windos]

….This ongoing conversation has steadily become more and more depressing, I see. Amazing stuff, that is.

I've already drew my line in the sand about this, so all I can really say at this point is you either accept the way Nintendo handles their IP/Fan communities and continue to do business with them, you don't and don't, or have to adapt to the reality regardless.

On the subject of legal battles, I would recommend against that STRONGLY, unless you happen to have deep enough pockets and as many connections as a big business like a game corporation has. Even if you have a strong case to stand and fight on, if the other side has better lawyers and more resources than you, its highly unlikely you'd win any case, bar elaborate means or act of god. Losing the legal battle would also set a Legal Precedent against Fan GameContent to boot, which would give Nintendo and other corps all the where withrawl they need to start the mother of all witch hunts against those that 'hurt' the bottom line, or do something they don't like with their IP (Like art and stuff). Bottomline, its a bad idea.
