If people started referring to targets of Nintendo's lawsuits as being part of "Club Nintendo" do you think Nintendo would sue them as well?

Just a silly shower thought I had after hearing about Nintendo's copyright claim against Russ from Retro Game Corps.

Nintendo hates its fans. They should reap the negative PR. Problem is, way too many corporate simps.

The speedrunning community must a lil shook with the emulation strikes, lately.
- I'm hoping that Nintendo's consistently shitty behavior makes the general public realize that stanning for developers is better than stanning for companies
  
  Personally I'd recommend supporting indie devs as they're closer to "locally produced" than triple-A dev entities like Ubisoft, EA, Nintendo
  
  Tbf Devs are usually massive pieces of shit as well, thousands of over-inflated egos, cutthroat techbros and cynical asset-swappers who hate g*mers more than necessary out there for every one decent fella or lady who's autistic about meshes or render pipelines, but prob works for a Chinese online casino optimizing animation timings for whale click-through.
- I have to wonder how long they can run on community goodwill. With handhelds like the Steam Deck and similar, surely it's gotta be only a matter of time until they have to change or die.
  
  They won't die. Their largest demographic is prepubescent children. Mommy and Daddy's money isn't going anywhere
- Seems it's ramped up a lot since the new CEO took over.
  
  Didn't entire entertainment industry kicked this campaign off as they started to squeeze us on price?
  
  There is deff an uptick over last few years but media enjoyers have also been more vocal about not accepting the new terms of service and voting with their feet.
  
  Feels like we are in the middle of another show down with the "owners."
They only reason they don't dispatch terror squads of thugs door to door is because it would be illegal, not even because it would be bad for PR.

"You're not hiding any ROMS under zese floorboards, are you?"
- According to the Ryujinx (Switch emulator) Mac M1 branch maintainer, they literally did send people to the home of Ryujinx's lead dev in Brazil.
  
  So we might already be there.
  
  Brazil was always there... US had a break but looks like Pinkertons going to re open their corpo enforcer division. Good money to be made tbh
- Ask WoTC how they feel about sending thugs to people's doors
  
  I can't believe how many otherwise seemingly reasonable people are still involved in the MTG and D&D content ecosystems after Hasbro hired the fucking Pinkertons to threaten a Youtuber. How little self respect do they have? Promote a game that isn't made by someone who would send thugs to your house!
- Well, if the stories involving the Japanese yakuza are true, maybe you're a little wrong...
The Bowser headline looks ridiculous if you have no context lol
Nintendo are control freaks. They want nothing more than to have their own official "security" guards watching over everyone's shoulder, finger on the trigger of their shotgun, as they make sure you play their games (not your games) in the Nintendo-approved way of playing their games.
I’m done, folks. Been playing their stuff from the release of the SNES. I can’t support this kind of idiocy.

- I'm sorry for this insensitive joke, but MiiTomo was too good.
Nintendo should buy Warner Brothers Discovery
Nintendo should be burned
Next step: Nintendo sues all sites that dare write its name
- If this wipes out poor content sites like Screen Rant and TheGamer I'd be happy. I hate how Google keeps recommending me this crap of content.
