Re: Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aimé On Why The Switch Uses A Mobile App For Voice Chat

@rjejr First off the Switch really doesn't need a browser and they don't want to put one on there due to webkit, and of course it will be webkit based due to Netfront being the one who has provided the browser to Nintendo in the past. The YouTube app on the 3DS was used an attack vector to get access to the system. Right now the only vulnerability on the switch is one with the hardware, that was fixed with a minor revision.

@MegaVel91 The website that was hosting info and linking the resources was ad-funded. They were making money off of property they didn't own. What is immoral is to claim that Nintendo shouldn't be stopping people from making bad Pokémon games with official assets. When you do that people can associate it with Nintendo. There were ads for Pokémon MMOs and Pokémon Online in rotating ads on game sites. They were using official content from Nintendo to advertise a fake game.

My only issues with Pokémon Uranium was the fact they used Pokémon that were in official games.

@MegaVel91 Do you think it is morally right to rip assets from a game and repackage them as something completely new? I'm fine with fan mods using the original games, that is fine. Nintendo has made it clear that this sort of thing isn't something they want. They don't people to make Pokémon games that are reusing assets. These assets are copyrighted, and aren't even considered fair use being used in this way.

Edit: Also does this wiki have ads? If it does then Nintendo did the right thing in taking it down.
