"Woah, woah, woah, those previous patents were earned through very hard work from our "lobbyist". If you do that, I want the bribe money back... I mean lobby money!"

Nintendo, prob.

Consider it like an investment - one that tanked, so there's no money to give back.

It never should have gotten through in the first place.

This is just a prime example of the government caving to businesses simply because they're popular.

Make no mistake: the only rule is mob rule.

Nintendo charges what it does for their games and """services""" so they can use that money against you.

Anyone saying "they're a business and they need to make money!" is a useful idiot and needs to be written off as such.

Way too common on Lemmy let alone a community for piracy here you go.

Very unlikely, but I hope they go "Mario, this sucks actually, so you can't have it anymore."
