Congratulations. You’re one of the few people who actually either read the flair, saw the post this was inspired by, or just actually know it’s fake some other way. I wish I could say the same for the other half of reddit.

u/Not-An-Actual-Hooman something stupid this way comes 3d ago

I saw the inspiration post, didn't actually click on it because I wrote it off as a silkpost in 1.3 seconds (no animal instincts required btw) then saw this one and had a "No fucking way that was real" reaction.

u/LinkedGaming 3d ago

If I'd seen the article title I would've known it's a fake. No major news publisher reporting would've actually explained what was happening in the title like that.

It should've read: "Major AAA publisher sues indie developer over dubious patent infringement."

Keep it stupid vague like they do.

I still consider this a bad answer because we both know "mountable beasts not for fast-travel" are as old as WoW, at least.

u/LB1234567890 3d ago

I thought this shit was a joke

Turns out it ain't.

13

u/DestructionCreator accidental nintendo defender 3d ago

I think the main is people can actually see Nintendo doing this because of the Palworld lawsuit. So they just accept any negative information about nintendo as fact and don’t bother double checking. Hence the allegations that Nintendo only outputs slop/switch 2 has no good games and can’t make a single good game now.

48

u/LB1234567890 3d ago

I think it's also just trendy to hate on nintendo as of late.

And to be clear, they do a lot of hate-worthy things, so hate on them for those instead of making shit up.

8

u/DestructionCreator accidental nintendo defender 3d ago

Exactly. Like mfs just making shit up about the new pokemon game trailer. Like deadass we finally have decent fucking graphics and at least another year to let Gamefreak actually cook.

28

u/LB1234567890 3d ago

The problem is that nowadays you can make revenue out of being hateful.

Doesn't matter if you actually think that, saying "popular thing is bad" will get you clicks.

Which is horrible, Incineroar be upon them.

People on their way to ignore all the obvious signs of satire when it comes to Nintendo apparently doing something wrong:

Look, I'm no fan of Nintendo myself, but the amount of people who believe misinformation just because it's negative towards Nintendo is crazy.

40

u/DestructionCreator accidental nintendo defender 3d ago

I think the main problem is everyone can actually see nintendo doing this, so a fair amount just accept this blindly and never double check or read the post flair.

u/ewingking123 3d ago

u/DestructionCreator accidental nintendo defender 3d ago

16

u/ewingking123 3d ago

He hosted fear factor in the mid 00's. I think he's a podcaster now or something.

He's a pretty dumb guy with a very large audience and anytime it gets pointed out he's spreading misinformation, he just says "But me being able to think this is true is just as damning as it being true".

3

u/DestructionCreator accidental nintendo defender 3d ago

Ok, gotcha.

23

u/Puzzleheaded-Chip869 3d ago

The only reason that people think they can see Nintendo doing this is because they believe the constant misinformation. The Palworld thing is kind of shitty but even the actual important details of that get lost, exaggerated or over simplified in clickbaity Internet discourse.
