As a matter of fact, Nintendo is the only company that I remember in recent history that consistently does this. They have every right to do so, even if it sucks. I hate seeing fan made games taken down, but we really can't stop them. I just wish they would consider bringing in these devs, because I always think when these fan made games come out, it's like they're asking for a job at Nintendo. 7 hours ago, Heatman said: Nintendo is very cautious of their brand and I think that's why they always approach such issues in that manner. It works as a way for them to deter gamers from getting into such acts. I would be too if I was Nintendo. I think they mainly don't want their characters misrepresented and that's why they don't want to risk any fan made stuff. That's my guess on their reasoning at least.

If there's a way for these fans to have some sort of arrangement with Nintendo, I think it's going to give them the acceptable to do what they do. Even if they are doing it to impress the company, but without consent, Nintendo would feel attacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the majority of fan made games aren't released for money to my knowledge. Yeah I can see some points where they are still using that copyrighted material, but I think it's odd to sue them for money. Like, shut it down and end it there, but suing some game maker for their fan made game is weird to me. I know there's legalities there, but if they're not selling it, I don't agree with suing. I agree with cease and desist's happening, but suing nah. I totally agree with you on this, if the cheat codes and hacks aren't sold but are just used by those who could create it for their single player experience then there is no need suing them at all. After all an invention isn't complete if others aren't constantly modifying it to suit them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that your assumptions might be true because if not, I don't see any other good reasons why they usually flair up whenever fans makes such with their characters or it might be them making money off it in a way they won't be aware of?

Scorpion Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 Yes, gaming companies should consider suing cheat providers. Targeting the sources of cheating may create a more fair gaming environment long-term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
