Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy, but it's funny to see them fight.

Nintendo -
Use our IP to advertise fascism: I sleep
Fuck with our profits: I WAKE

[–] Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip 14 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Someone used Nintendo IP to advertise fascism?

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 39 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

DHS used Pokemon to advertise ICE. Gotta catch 'em all.

[–] Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip 8 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Jesus Christ. Thank you for the context, I completely missed rhat

[–] JPAKx4@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 hours ago

Posted by the Whitehouse twitter account, this is also a recent one, the DHS post was also real from a while back (no link but I've seen proof)

[–] ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 27 points 5 hours ago

If you told me several year ago that I'd be cheering for Nintendo in a lawsuit....

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 65 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

More than 1000 companies also have sued the US government

I think it‘s past 2000 at this point and growing. This is huge.

Evil vs. Evil.

Whoever wins... we lose.

[–] null@lemmy.org 6 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Hey now, with Nintendo I at least get fun games and they don't bomb me.

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 hours ago

Just don't pirate their shit to avoid provoking them. They take that so seriously they might consider it.

[–] rafoix@lemmy.zip 8 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Fascists executing people on the street = evil

Company that sells stuff that never goes on sale = evil

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 2 points 42 minutes ago

Nah they do far worse than that. Killing emulators and fan projects and all that.

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 17 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Companies suing the government for taxes that they just pass on to consumers is both the bread and the circuses of the modern age.

[–] rafoix@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 hours ago

I think that Nintendo did not pass on the tariff to consumers in this situation meaning that they have literal monetary damages. At least, that’s the rumor.

[–] unknown1234_5@kbin.earth 8 points 6 hours ago

bread and circuses were free. unfortunately this is even worse.

[–] OldQWERTYbastard@lemmy.world 10 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Heh.... It will be a very very long time before any of these companies see a thin dime of that tariff money back...if ever.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 26 points 7 hours ago

No no. They will give the money back to the corps. The people who spent that money won’t see it.

[–] hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world 9 points 6 hours ago

The point might be injunctions and judicial record, they might know they're not getting their money back.
