See, the problem with this, as I said before, is it is bad PR. If this Ramar fellow, gains enough support, and convinces enough people, world wide, not to support TPC, it causes them to lose a huge chunk of profit, and even more depending on how long they decide to protest. Which I can promise, considering the amount the games and such cost, is a lot more than 4000 dollars. I hope he learns about not using IP, and I hope they learn not to be such greedy &^%$s.
^^ Incorrect. He made a poster and posted it. It would have been illegal if he sold the poster, but to my knowledge, he did not. If I want to, I can post a picture of MarioKart on my front door, and charge people to get into my house to play games. That is legal. Im not selling the games, or the ability to play them, I am charging people to enter my residence, or place of business.
And no, Nintendo may not control TPC, but, they have a heavy hand in negotiations. This will reflect badly on them as well, as they are the main, and really ONLY perveyor of systems that has anything to do with Pokemon. Sure there are trading cards and memorabilia. But lets be honest, the most income comes from the games and systems they are played on.
See, its crap like this that gives companies a bad name. By technicality, yes it is Ramar's fault. And what Nintendo, doesnt seem to understand here, is, while they may be getting a measely 4000 bucks from this fellow, they have created a PR nightmare for themselves.
If your 4k worth all the negative attention and distrust for what may have been future customers, worth it Nintendo? You guys aren't really helping yourselves... releasing a new DS, that adds a c-stick (Thats about it) not including a charger. Releasing the Wii-U which might be a nice console, but, charging an arm and a leg, and not making many games for it...
Banning people from sharing their streaming info on MiiVerse, which is publicity for YOU. And now suing a guy because he made a couple posters. My god, get your *&^% straight Nintendo, you are not the company I knew and loved as a child. You have turned into money-hungry *&^ clowns...

@DarkJamD Exactly. I am sure that TPC isn't sitting in bushes watching cafe's. My bet, is someone ratted him out.
