Siempre me llama la atención que a Nintendo no se le deje pasar ni media (con razón la mayoría de veces) cuando hace cagadas de cara al usuario, y después estás mierdas que siempre hace Rockstar o Naughty Dog se olviden a los dos días y tenga 0 unidades de consecuencias
'Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet' is reportedly slated to release mid-2027

• Naughty Dog has enacted mandatory overtime for staff to get back on track after missing internal deadlines

• Some employees are worried demands could worsen next year if crunch is already happening now

Nintendo doesn't need AI because the people who do the homework that AI copies are under their roof

If you're a new hire working on Zelda, you can either chat the person who invented Z Targeting or you can pull up their notes. The person who designed the platform you're coding for is down the hall

As of 2025-03, Capcom owns 1,164 patents and 6,343 trademarks. In last fiscal year alone, they issued 6,176 copyright infringement takedowns.

But somehow, it only seems to make the news when Nintendo files a patent or requests a removal.

I was asked about this video re: Ninendo v Colopl. It’s relatively well-researched and I appreciate that. A few points I’d like to add:

• The “code of honor” framing is uncommon. It was used by only one analyst in one talk, bordering on mythologizing (no wonder the video chose to go with it).

I have a question since you seem knowledgeable with the legal side of patents.

Is this video regarding Nintendo suing Colopl correct? Is there more you can add?

So
Is everyone cool with 2 of the 6 Game of the Year candidates openly using generative AI?

Or is there some type of sliding scale between Clair Obscur>Kingdom Come>The Alters>Black OPs?

If Clair Obscur wins this year....how many GOTY nominees in the top 6 will feature AI art next year?

If games companies don't want to pay voice actors what they could do is just not have spoken dialogue. Games did that for decades. It's fine. Just DON'T USE THE PLAGIARISM SLOP MACHINE OH MY GOD IT IS NOT HARD TO NOT USE IT YOU JUST DON'T USE IT THAT IS ALL. GAMES DO NOT ALL NEED VOICES.

This is not a Game-Key Card apologist thread, only an explainer on the precarious status of Game Card:

Hate to pour cold water on the dev acquisition talk, but that slide was presenting things *already* happened.

• Very precise number of “a” video company acquisition (Dynamo)
• In contrast, acquisition of “developers” being plural (Next Level, SRD, Shiver)
• All others are done or in progress

If there's anything I learned from looking at the games industry this past year, it's that there is a concerningly large group of gamers who would gladly accept authoritarian policies if it meant their graphics cards were cheaper, or that they could pirate Nintendo games.

It's stuff that I look back upon but the whole "Switch 2 game that was originally developed on Switch 1 which somehow doesn't make it a legitimate Switch 2 game" debacle was just so shit and disrespectful to the games
