You know I was joking right?

But considering your response I have to say that no one is buying dreams to play Mario on it, nor is these people earning money because of this. And anyway Dreams have sold very little.

Oh sorry didn't see the emoji. 

Would make no sense for Nintendo to take down games that look like Super Mario Bros on a game that is made to look just like that =p (sure streams on youtube would be taken away during that time Nintendo was being very strict against it).

Obviously as it should be.  I kind of wonder though, how do things like smogon and smash flash stay unbanned?

I'm not sure there's legal grounds for this in many jurisdictions. Generally speaking, IP law only come into play when someone is trying to sell someone else's IP.

Well, that was expected.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

I said this was going to happen, and some people (not necessarily on these specific forums) swore up and down it was ceative freedom and they could not do anything about it. Well I guess people only choose to believe what they want, then complain when they realize what they want =/= reality. 🤷‍♂️

If that were the case, all free fan games would exist without issue, wouldn't they?

The Mario levels I played in Dreams were trash anyway, I can see Nintendo not wanting to be associated with some of them.

they were shity because it's just fan made games and not series games to be capitalized to make money. 

You are giving Sony money by playing Dreams on ps4.

Not having "legal grounds" is not the same as not having a legal challenge.  Nintendo scares those people into submission, because they can't afford the legal battle.   That may well be the case here as well, but it is not as obvious. 

It may also be arguable that this use of Mario is helping to sell the game.
