We're lucky Valve has fuck you money for when Nintendo inevitably come after them

Comes after them for what? Selling small computers?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

yeah, or infringing on their "patents" lmfao

Remember they got a patent for catching monsters using balls just to start a lawsuit against Palworld, and if my memory doesn't fail me, they tried to patent some stupidly base mechanic in Zelda TotK (like using local coordinates for constructs).

I'm not sure they wouldn't try to get a patent for the concept of "handheld gaming console" because they came up with the Game Boy.

I don't see how Nintendo could go after valve. Valve doesn't make or distribute the emulator, or the ROMs.

I agree. They could go after windows at that point.
