    Japanese company applying Japanese law to global consumers. This needs to stop. Its fine to apply Japanese law in Japan to Japanese consumers, but not other countries.

    Nintendo, I used to love you, and now you are the single biggest contributor to me hating you.

      Unfortunately that’s only gonna stop when social media companies enable country blocking for streamers to prevent their content from being shown to Japanese audiences.

        You really think they would stop in that case?

        Nintendo is writing their own laws through terms of service, enforced with kill switches built into their games.

          They can’t write their own laws and their terms of service can’t go against your local laws if they want to provide their services in your State (in the general sense, not in the USA sense), so customer protection laws can solve the issue if Nintendo won’t solve it themselves.

            They absolutely shouldn’t be able to, but companies are constantly pushing the boundaries and seem to be getting away with their bullshit bullshit depressingly often.

          Supposedly this is how the animetuber community were able to get relief from copy strikes after TNM took a public stand against the practice when his one piece series got struck

      It’s as if customer protection laws are necessary… A whole bunch of things found in EULA doesn’t apply to me just because of where I live and the fact that we have them here.

      Nintendo, knows they can coerce YouTube into destroying peoples channels, by sung them in Japan, so they get to write any rules they want.
