Games

Nintendo is my favorite gaming company, but man, their IP lawyers are absolutely vicious. Granted they're also in Japan, the poster boy for a corporate-owned country (I lived there several years, no joke, if you think big corps run the US you ain't seen nothing yet) which makes American IP law look like Chinese IP law, but even for a Japanese company, they're brutal. What I find rather ironic about it is that a measure they took to protect their image and that of their brands from controversy over bad gamer behavior, led to bad gamer behavior directed at them. But either way, to these idiots sending threats, it's a classic instance of "this is why we can't have nice things", ruining even the fun we were allowed to have for everyone and probably making it even less likely that Nintendo will reverse their policy.
