Honestly, a bit surprised by this. It wasn't even on Steam. Hopefully switching to an open source SDK will get this back up.

"Hey, don't use code for our dead game console we stopped manufacturing 22 years ago and don't support anymore!"

Who gives a fuck, Nintendo?

It wasn't Nintendo, it was Valve taking preemptive action because of how Nintendo has acted in the past...

It's unfortunate, but it's pretty reasonable given how Nintendo is.

Wasn’t it taken down at Valve’s request, not Nintendo’s demand?

[–] SeedyOne@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but mainly because Valve doesn't want to deal with Nintendo's lawyers since it used their libraries.

I really wish they would and set a precedent for Nintendo's anti-consumer tactics.
