    What rock have you been living since 2017 that you can’t think of something scummy that Nintendon’t has done? I at least can’t recall Sony suing a mother for theming a friggin’ birthday party.

        Got the company wrong, it was TPCi who sued for the party.

        Still, not much of a difference considering Pokémon does is the grossest money-printer for Nintendon’t, and it wouldn’t be offbrand for Nintendon’t anyway to sue children dressing as Mario for Halloween, considering the stuff the linked article says is not any far from the instances where Nintendo has wiretapped or gaslighted ope source developers. Given the corporation, just because I have not heard about it doesn’t mean it hasn’t already happened.
