What I am reacting too is how pathetically these companies turn over and just take it from fascists, again not thattt surprising but I would expect Nintendo to be LIVID about their IP being used like this
International companies deal with all sorts of governments, from China and Russia to France and the UK. They learn to survive in whatever political environment they find themselves in.
The fact that they’re not fighting back here tells us more about the US government than it does Nintendo’s leadership. They’ve done the cost/benefit analysis. They can’t fight against an entire nation with its limitless resources.
This isn’t “Nintendo being gutless” as much as it is “The canary in the coalmine is dead”.
We haven’t learned anything about Nintendo that we didn’t already know. They’re a self-interested money-making enterprise that has no morals or ethics. Like all companies.
It’s the why that is important though. They know they’ll lose because the system is corrupted against them. If Trump turns his eye on them and uses the power of the United States Fucking Government against them then they’re toast. They know this. It’s cheap to apologize and forget about it.

No, it also tells us about Nintendo too, they could most certainly fight, this is a choice and I think it is worth noting.
