      They already do that. I think it was Did You Know Gaming channel’s video about Pókemon ROM hacks and they mentioned that few of them were likely taken down because they were targeted by an AI crawler.

    That’s cool now could you tell your lawyers to go in a different direction with respect to mods and fan games?

      Nintendo militantly protecting their IP, to the detriment of pirates, is their prerogative. Inside the dev culture, they’re one of the best and most respected AAA shops in the business. Their games speak for themselves.

    The different direction;

    No more original IP, and 99% of profits come from litigating against end users.

    (It’s the same direction as before, just not including AI yet)

      I mean, that direction is extremely lucrative, whereas AI is extremely expensive and totally unproven to be profitable.

    Yeah, how would suing something that can’t feel pain help you get it up…

    Sure it’s nice to hear and all but I wrote them off a long time ago and this does nothing to make up for terrible ethics.

    Good for them. I’d love to see ALL industries do this but that’s going to be impossible. We’d need greed eradicated before that happens.

    Nintendo noticed ai exists just now and thus dodged the hype cycle

    Nintendo can’t even do games on a technical standard higher than 2012, how should they use AI? And their hardware is way to weak as well BTW.

    They’re just lucky that the current AI Models are crap, otherwise this would be the next standard they’re missing in their “more of the same since 1980” games.

    They should use more energy and money for developing innovative games than suing every fart on the planet.

      I’ll never understand how these always get downvoted. I understand Nintendo people love their zelda and mario games, but their console is less powerful than most mobile phones. I bought disco elysium on the switch that i only have for my nephew. It has a lot of trouble running DISCO ELYSIUM!
