Nintendo need to sue them for the brand damage when ***** isn't even proven guilty. It would be hilarious. It'll be one Nintendo lawsuit Redditors will heavily support.

Can you imagine spez being sued until he is bankrupt and have to forfeit all his future income to Nintendo for this? I want to see that man beg and cry for forgiveness.

I’d rather have Nintendo running things here or basically anyone looking to start a new social media platform… we’ve got Bluesky instead of twitter and just need a Forum setting. Do kickstarter don’t use billionaires for anything. Let’s leave them behind in all aspects of life.
