Japanese company applying Japanese law to global consumers. This needs to stop. Its fine to apply Japanese law in Japan to Japanese consumers, but not other countries.

Nintendo, I used to love you, and now you are the single biggest contributor to me hating you.

Unfortunately that's only gonna stop when social media companies enable country blocking for streamers to prevent their content from being shown to Japanese audiences.

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (3 children)

You really think they would stop in that case?

Nintendo is writing their own laws through terms of service, enforced with kill switches built into their games.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They can't write their own laws and their terms of service can't go against your local laws if they want to provide their services in your State (in the general sense, not in the USA sense), so customer protection laws can solve the issue if Nintendo won't solve it themselves.

[–] Bezier@suppo.fi 7 points 1 year ago

They absolutely shouldn't be able to, but companies are constantly pushing the boundaries and seem to be getting away with their bullshit bullshit depressingly often.

Supposedly this is how the animetuber community were able to get relief from copy strikes after TNM took a public stand against the practice when his one piece series got struck

Nintendo is writing their own laws

No, they aren't.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago

It's as if customer protection laws are necessary... A whole bunch of things found in EULA doesn't apply to me just because of where I live and the fact that we have them here.

[–] Thann@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Nintendo, knows they can coerce YouTube into destroying peoples channels, by sung them in Japan, so they get to write any rules they want.

[–] mormund@feddit.org -1 points 1 year ago

Not sure how Japanese law has anything to do with this. I'm pretty sure under US law (the one that ultimately matters for streaming) leaves all the rights of recorded videos of the game with the right holders of the game. That you're allow to record/stream games at all has no legal precedent, it's just a wise business decision by publisher to not forbid it (anymore).

And legality aside. As a dev I wouldn't want racist or bigoted streamers to show my game and make money off of my work. Same with leakers. Sure for a big company I don't care but if someone leaked an indie devs work, we would consider it a dick move as well.

How long until grandpoobear is banned from posting their content for having poo in their name, just like they deleted all his Mario maker levels for having the word poo in them?

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nintendo already hates him. Remember how they twice deleted his Mario maker levels without explanation?

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That makes sense. They already deleted his Mario maker levels without explanation... twice!

[–] jaguargoosey@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

It' s outrageous. And the worst part is that twice in the past Nintendo deleted his Mario levels and gave no explanation. None! Poof! Gone.

So did the comment they replied to. That was the joke, lol

[–] ASDraptor@lemmy.autism.place 36 points 1 year ago

Thanks Nintendo! You're giving me even more reasons to not buy any of your crap. It's been years since I bought something from you and I'm happy you keep doing your best to help me with my decision.

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Okay, keep digging your own grave Nintendo. Twitch streamers and YouTubers are a major source of advertising for you, even for back-catalog stuff. The only reason why I see Nintendo directs is because a streamer I enjoy watches them. My interest in Nintendo stuff is pretty low but I've been persuaded to buy a few Nintendo games as a result of YouTube or twitch videos. But here's the thing: these guys have no filter. They swear constantly and love innuendo. They will probably get caught in Nintendo's net and stop streaming Nintendo stuff. As a result, I will no longer be paying attention to what Nintendo's doing.

gives Nintendo the liberty to not only take legal action but also ban a user from any future use of their IPs in content making.

Features graphic, explicit, harmful, or otherwise offensive content, including statements or actions that may be considered offensive, insulting, obscene or otherwise disturbing to others;

Sounds like they've got their work cut out for themselves.

[–] Wanderer@r.nf 4 points 1 year ago

Until they come across the right person inside the EU, then they are fucked. :)

Anti consumer tos are strictly prohibited. For example you could even sue your way out of a ban when you cheated because they keep you out of consuming a product you paid for.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

So what does this mean for the future of Shotgun Mario 64?

Corporations need their shit slapped straight, on the topic of media ownership. If you want control over something - don't sell it to ten million strangers.
