    I just read it. I can’t even see a game mentioned. What are you going on about?

    Satire is usually based on real life…

        Ok. But the article is satire. The reason Nintendo sued is obviously not to enshrine people’s name for game preservation… that’s the joke.

        Nintendo also didn’t sue every single person involved in video game preservation. Thatsthejoke.jpg

        The “community reaction” you’re referring to doesn’t exist. People by and large are saying “no surprise, they did it while the console was still on sale, and they tried to make money doing it”.

            You were exactly the one I meant to reply to. You’re criticising what is clearly a joke as if it were a real position and inventing controversy with a scarecrow argument.
