SalDHS should not have fucked around with Nintendo
Deflated0neWhile it would be funny. Nintendo won’t do it. They wanna be on friendly terms with orange boy so govco keeps helping them slap down ROM sites and prosecuting emulation enjoyers.
This type of content by the DHS could literally damage Nintendo’s brand, and all of us are painfully aware at how strongly Nintendo protects their brand. I’m fairly sure they WOULD throw the weight of all their lawyers against the administration for even daring to associate human rights violations with them.
homura1650It could, but fighting over it definitely will.
Even without any reprisal from the administration; the hypothetical lawsuit would be a very public affair. Nintendo would be inserting itself directly into the fight over US immigration law; and approximately no one in the US would see it as them defending their trademark rights. The anti-imigrant crowd would see it as a direct attack on Trump’s deportation efforts. The anti masked-officer-shoving-people-into-an-unmarked-van-and-sending-them-to-a-venezualan-contrantion-camp would also see it that way.
In contrast, if they do nothing, no one is going to look at that tweet and think that Nintendo was actually involved or approved of it.
