Nintendo Is Taking Down My Videos [video]
This specifically happened because the guy put a financial bounty on a multiplayer mod for Breath of the Wild.<p>Nintendo has always been fairly straightforward on this sorta thing if you look at their actions:<p>1. Don&#x27;t <i>make</i> them care. Don&#x27;t draw attention to yourself, just do what you want to do. Relatedly, don&#x27;t talk to Vice, Polygon, Kotaku or any other authoritative source because then you&#x27;ll be competing with Nintendo in the press for relevance, and that&#x27;ll make them upset.<p>2. No piracy. Nintendo has a very wide definition of piracy, which includes emulation <i>if</i> it has the possibility of being done through piracy (which is most emulation but not most emulation development). Specifically don&#x27;t do anything that can directly enable piracy, such as dumping ROMs or say... trying to organize a Melee tournament using a Dolphin netplay mod.<p>3. No money. Money makes things complicated and will make Nintendo care. Just straight up - you&#x27;re going to need to do it pro bono. If you expect financial benefits of any kind, just go elsewhere.<p>4. Don&#x27;t directly compete with Nintendo - no direct sequels or remakes.<p>Otherwise they&#x27;ll turn a blind eye. This guy violated point 1 and point 3; tech blogs wrote about him and he put up a financial bounty for it.
