Yes the pretext of potentially having your life ruined is bad, I get that.
I don't know the author but if he really poured his soul into this for 8 years what's the difference?
Call Nintendo's fucking bluff and release it (as clean as possible to avoid giving them any ammo: a patch).
Nintendo is always going to be on the losing end, it just depends on what magnitude you're willing to let them get away with.
Currently they're under fire for "protecting their IPs" and the defense force is coming out full throttle.
However, that's where the author is letting them get their way, as usual.
Turn around and release it, what's Nintendo going to do? Pursue it?
Congratulations, they're now even under more fire and getting shit on front back and center.
They took a guy, who honestly dindu nuffin, and ruined his life.
Congrats Nintendo, that's really going to incentivize the investors.
>but Nintendo can incentivize by stopping it at the sourceWrong. That's the extent you're willing to let them.
You can put them in a far worse position and take them down a notch or two single-handedly.
