From what I’ve seen of this, it seems that Nintendo is the hardest on leaks (because duh) and TAS (because TAS = rom for some reason, even though I believe one could hypothetically feed instructions to a console and TAS a game that way). Anyone remember that time one of the pairs of Pokémon games was released in Japan and Nintendo went after western sites for having information on the games because they were still unreleased in the west? Sites got cease-and-desisted for writing about a game that had already been released (and seeing that they’re Pokémon fans, many of those site owners likely owned an imported copy of the game themselves). That’s mind-boggling in a world where the internet exists and everyone knows everything that is everywhere almost instantly. I’m honestly surprised that there are so many “FE: if walkthrough” videos in YT’s related videos whenever I watch Fire Emblem stuff.
For that reason, I don’t expect Nintendo to get any more backlash than they ever have gotten from stuff like this. Their reputation is unfortunately rock-solid and the most they have to fear is being known as stingy copyright trolls amongst people who play games on the internet.
… If they do get backlash, though, it will be nice to see them actually do something aside from trying to push the issue out of the spotlight.
@MCProductions you would need to make a video player (using Flash or whatever is the new thing these days) to do that. Otherwise, you’d have to download whatever anyone uploaded, which would be the same as putting a video file on Dropbox.
