Supposedly, as per the pokemon company’s former chief legal officer: most of their executives in the US are there on green cards and are likely worried about losing them if they move legally on this.
There is a big difference between issuing takedowns to small YouTubers doing lets play content, or garnishing the wages from a pirate for the rest of his life, and picking a fight with DHS when you’re a foreign company and there’s a dictator in office.
Nintendo are not a company that go after people that can fight back. They are bullies just as much as the current administration, the best that they would be able to do would be to get DHS to pull video, there’s no way they’d get compensation for this so they really don’t care.
No, but they can threaten to leave the country for Canada if ICE threatens their employees. Given that Trump has an obsession with “companies manufacturing in America” he would probably chicken out.
This is a toy company. In America. they ain’t leaving shit. and why even would they? it was a tweet. ya’ll gotta stop treating twitter like it’s legally binding just because a while ago it was easy to bully somebody into making a flaccid apology video. No toy company is going to spend money in a court room on that, the legal team is for handling individuals smaller than Nintendo
Because Trump has being giving them a free ticket of corrupt and inept judges in US patent courts to award them absolutely bullshit control over game mechanics and concepts they didn’t create.
This is most likely the totality of their response.
Bro why does nobody here have faith on Nintendo’s legal team’s capacity to sue people 😭

They can at least DMCA the post, I guess?
To be fair i kind of agree with Nintendo on this knowing the abuses going on in detention centres of people ice detain from the news.
No one should be subjected to that and I’m not excusing Nintendos behaviour with copyright trolling and legal bullying by stating this

Nobody is questioning the capacity
Because I have more faith in the legal team being cowards and not going after the government than I do them actually doing something about it.
