- I didn't realise this was hard drive 💀
Crazy how easy it was to believe that Nintendo would do this.
- The most litigious of all game companies
- They're the Disney of video games
just learned about nintendo's debt slave wtf
- I dug up an old comment of mine for this quote from an article about that:
  This process has already begun, with Nintendo taking back $175 from Bowser's prison job while incarcerated at the SeaTac Federal Detention Center in Washington.
  
  Hoping some Japanese guy gets fed up enough to build a Fallout gun or carry a jerry can to Nintendo HQ. If cruelty is the point of Nintendo's lawsuit, then anything short of cruelty in response is simply unjust.
- why would you post this.

"They can't keep the games on as nominees without footage to show, right? This means they're gonna free up two Game of the Year slots, for sure. This is how Starfield can still win," said Todd Howard.
