Tbf, that’s one of the better states on workers rights issues.

I never said it did, I’m just offering perspective.

I am of the mindset that a good thing done for selfish reasons is still ultimately a good thing done.

Remember when the Xbox One announced that always on shit and people thought it was going to kill the brand and make MS drop out of the console wars? That was far stupider than what Nintendo is doing now, and they still survived.

THE FUCK?!

I was on a camping trip. What happened?

I don’t recognize the leafeon and glaceon ones. What are they?

I hope those creatives tell Google to fuck off.

Then perish.

But even aside from that, I can’t imagine Nintendo will let CryZENx continue this project for much longer. There are so many examples of fan projects that have been shut down.

I feel like if you’re charging money for a fan game, it kind of ceases to be a fan game. Legally speaking, this is a really stupid thing to do.

Unreadable on my device :(

What did this say originally?

…we have avatars?

Username checks out.

Copyright laws exist to prevent confusion in the marketplace. What you want is to reform copyright laws, not abolish them.

Great, so you’re an asshole who enjoys stealing. Go fuck yourself, we’re done talking. I also like how you didn’t even address the environmental damage, but I guess you also love destroying mother Earth as well.

“People enjoy things I don’t like, therefore industrialized plagiarism and environmental homicide are ok”

For one art is not a luxury. That is a capitalist myth that tried to keep culture and basic pleasure away from the working class.

See definition 2a. Art is a luxury.

If turning a a picture of you cat into studio ghibli style brings you even a brief modicum of joy, then you go do that and you shouldn’t have people harassing you for doing so.

Except to achieve that joy, you have to steal from people who have to actually work. Gen AI is designed to plagiarize the work of artists for the sake of replacing them. You aren’t siding with the workers, you’re siding with the parasite class.
