Using Nintendo's IP without license or permission to do so...of course they're going to take it down. If people legit didn't expect this to happen...I mean...yikes.

After 20 years or more of they taking down this type of stuff of course it isn`t surprise.

If it was a free fangame, that was made for PC, I'm sure Nintendo would have little issue, outside of a few exceptions.

But in this case, it's being made inside another game, which in turn that game(Dreams) is monetized.So not only it is expected, but also fair in my view.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

To play Mario maker you are giving Nintendo money. While buying dreams is giving Sony money. 

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.

You sure about that? Streams generate revenue, popular characters attract viewers. You don't need to sell anything nowadays to make lots of money of other people's IPs.

It's probably not that Nintendo is taking it down because of directing people away from their Mario products, it's more that letting it slide sets a precedent to erode the copyright. Anyway if you keep it to yourself nothing happens, once you start promoting it online, Nintendo has to do something about it.

Reason why Nintendo were so problematic with the let`s play on youtube, that wasn`t fine.

Nintendo can never just be cool.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Figured that this would happen. I'm almost surprised that it took this long.

Well this isn’t surprising in the slightest. Pretty standard for Nintendo to react this way really



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Apparently protecting your IP is being counts.
