He read that email of the fan that had nightmares of Matagroth at night and decided it wasn't enough. He wants his fans to have nightmares of Matagroth during the day as well!

Switch moment.

Kaga: "The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma." Nerfs who was already one of the worst units in the game. At least it seems he's made Bone Cells actually half-worth the time of day now. That's nice. But seriously why take away Prody's singular claim to fame? That's so weird. Kaga, what are you plotting? Is he getting Super Pursuit at level 25 now?

Awesome. That's settled, then.

Well. Here we go, I guess. Care to provide any examples while I still have energy to get into this argument?

By being more faithful to the original, yes.

I suppose we'll see how it pans out, but... Well, once more, Garry says it's real. I don't know how he ascertained it but it's not like they'd be jumping at the opportunity to comb 20 years worth of content to remove. That's a massive ordeal and it only serves to piss off the community. Which is, on the other hand, a very Nintendo move, what with their treatment of (some series') fangames and all. Instead of "Three Shadow Sisters" the leader refers to themselves as "Three Shadows - RELATION WITHHELD" I can confirm it has really pleased the trans folks I know.

I mean, yeah, but Garry says it's real. And let's not kid ourselves, fakers are a thing that happens but this isn't out of character for Nintendo either.

Not Gabe lmao, Gabe's got nothing to do with this. It was confirmed by the creator of Garry's Mod, Godeau Newman. ...Nah, Garry Newman. But yeah, he confirmed this is legitimate and happening. It does look like there was some kind of impersonator running around for some time before, but with Garry himself confirming the C&D's legitimacy, trying to pin this on the Peters guy seems more like copium than anything else. I suppose we'll see how it pans out, though.

"Nintendo EPICALLY pranks their fanbase by REMOVING their ability to pay tribute to their franchises."

Pretty nonsensical way to go about it, but that's very in-character for Nintendo, isn't it? They do everything wrong except for the games themselves.

That's indeed the reason they are able to do this, they are well within their legal rights to do it. Being legal, however, doesn't mean being right, and I just don't see what they hope to achieve with this stunt. Yes, it's quite questionable why they decided to act on this now all of a sudden. Yeah, this. Why do it now? Whatever damage Gmod could've ever done to their brand is long done. All they get from this is a loss of goodwill as they further establish their reputation as "dinosaur company that hates when their fans have fun with their property." This is not going to get them any more money. To be a fly on the wall in Nintendo's lawyer hideout...

I have no idea what benefit they derive from this. The only thing I can come up with is brand protection, but even then, it's coming so, so late. Mario suicide was uploaded 16 years ago. Where were the C&Ds then? Doing this at this point is a completely random, completely idiotic move that only serves to piss people off and set a(nother) bad precedent. I do, however, have to thank them for providing further incentive to my ongoing "convince myself not to buy Nintendo's next console so as to spend less money on this hobby" initiative.

Okay, so Nintendo's gone off the deep end now. You know, just a tad more than usual. I don't even understand what the point is here. With piracy the point is that people could be playing downloaded games instead of buying their shit, with fangames the point is that people could be playing fangames instead of buying their shit, and with game footage online the point is that people could just watch playthroughs instead of buying their shit. At least I can follow the logic there. But what's the logic here? How do goofy animations of Meyro and Loogi being uploaded to Youtube sometimes affect Nintendo's bottom line? Especially now, 20 years into Gmod's existence. They've just decided to fuck people over for no reason. Fucking incredible.

Oh dear. Well, I can't exactly contest or attest to it, since the difficulty and translation - or lack thereof. On both ends. - filtered me super hard with these games. ...I did play Exit Fate, though. I thought that one was really good.
