Nintendo NUKES Garry's Mod from Orbit?!

- Nintendo sent their lawyers after Garry's Mod, making them take down Nintendo-related content that's been online for 20 years in some cases. This is after Nintendo nuked a Pokemon fan site that was online for a decade, and has been going after emulator developers like Yuzu and Dolphin. Then we talk about preserving old video games, and impediments to that. Is this Palworld's fault?

Nintendo loves their fans money but hates their fans. Their overly litigious attitude kills goodwill. We NEED game preservation
What they hate are IP villations
Nintendo are the prime definition of being "hypocrites" or "two-faced"
@@theredknight9314 Unfortunately, people can't understand that because they're too entitled.

@@solidsnivy5639 it may not actually be Nintendo from what I hear. There is word the CEO has backtracked on that. These days with so many DMCA trolls, I want to see proof. I want to see the DMCA's before I join the mob against anybody.
@@stoopidpursun8140 Nice try, dude. XD
Piracy is the way. ;)
Remember what you said about how there's enough media that someone could never watch or play or read it all, and therefore new media is unnecessary? Perhaps Nintendo understands that, and that's why they're trying so hard to destroy the old.
Its these companies fault for making nothing but trash anymore. Naturally people will revert back to classics cuz moving forward everything is turning into always online, macro transaction bloated overly designed broken slop.
@chilomine839
Oh, absolutely. And they're trying to force people to eat the trash by carpet bombing the feast.
@@Madison-iw8ix I find it funny how despite all the investor money these companies pine for, you think they'd have endeavored to make better products not worse. Goes to show my view on investors can comfortably remain in tact. Investors are activists masquerading as business men. Using money to influence how a product gets made. As opposed to just sitting back and enjoying a return on their investment by investing in profitable franchises people WANT to buy.
Something stinks to high heaven.
@chilomine839
That smell is either bs or Disney's corpse.
@@Madison-iw8ix Yup. With Disney it's turned putrid.
We need to get a copyright reform movement started to stop stuff like this from happening. If the StopKillingGames movement can do it, so can we.
I agree 1000%
Never gonna happen lol. Especially when it comes to international IP
That’s not going to work, IP laws are completely different in Japan than they are in the west. Any reform here you pass will just be ignored there.
@tokusatsukeyblade797 Not all of these DMCA takedowns come from Nintendo of Japan. Sometimes it's Nintendo of America that does it.
How long until Ninty goes after Disney for the Family Guy episodes mocking their IP?
They're fighting this hard against preservation because they don't want to compete with their old (and better) games. They've even admitted as much.
Can't beat the competition? Just legislate to make it illegal (AI).
Looks like it's time for gamers to keep their old games/consoles, stop buying remakes/remasters of retro triple AAA games (including the Nintendo ones) and instead, start buying indie games and AA games.
@@keeganmcfarland7507Easier said than done. If anything, they’ll get better long term since they’ll be at least the only ones to learn from this.
To a relative extent yes, I do think they will get better long term.
It's pretty amazing how quickly the anti-woke turn into communists when it comes to intellectual property right, and colonialists when it comes to shoving America's fair use laws down Japan's throat.
Games need to be considered “abandonware” if the rights holder does not provide a reasonable way for people to have access to them.
Something like this!
Nintendo or any other company can't just come in and SHUT DOWN emulators for games that were developed by software developers that no longer exist.
The people running Nintendo are the greediest in the industry and the biggest control-freaks, too. They've been the worst since they were acknowledged as the industry leaders since the late 1980s.
@@WhatIsMatter101 you know what he mean but trying to be an ass . For most of those games there is no way you can buy it through "official channel" , piracy or whatever you want to called is not a reasonable way for most people to access it.
@@WhatIsMatter101 Abandonware is a product, typically software, ignored by its owner and manufacturer, which can no longer be found for sale, and for which no official support is available.[1]
Within an intellectual rights contextual background, abandonware is a software (or hardware) sub-case of the general concept of orphan works. Museums and various organizations dedicated to preserving this software continue to provide legal access.[2]
The term "abandonware" is broad and encompasses many types of old software. Definitions of "abandoned" vary, but in general it is like any item that is abandoned - it is ignored by the owner, and as such, product support and possibly copyright enforcement are also "abandoned".[3]
They are; that's why Brazil doesn't care.
@@WhatIsMatter101 Whatever you say, bot/Nintendrone. XD
It's sad that Nintendo doesn't understand that a lot of people working in the industry today grew up modding and making fan games. A very great example is fallout London. Those people have a bright future ahead of them, they have made a whole entire new game made within the constraints of fallout 4
So Nintendo please allow us to make mods and fan games. Don't you one day want to be responsible for inspiring people to make the next fallout London using your characters and locations?
Correction/Update, it is still not verified if the DMCA really was Nintendo. As Nintendo uses @ "noalegal" and not "mm-nintendo." The domains are wrong.
Plus the person issuing the takedowns has a long history going after modders and non-safe artists. Who goes by different aliases.
Does it matter if the content got deleted though?
Not really. And if it does get taken down by someone else Nintendo isn't going to fight against that.
@@jrconway3Nintendo may not even know about it.

From everything I heard, it wasn't Nintendo doing this but potentially some guy going by Aaron Peters, who is well known to be doing false strikes for years now

Apparently it was some troll name Aaron Peters impersonating Nintendo that sent a fake cease & desist but either way this really fucking blows. RIP Gmod
Either way people will associate the troll with Nintendo if true. Yet Nintendo is trying to protect their copyright. Yet if one creates fan content it should be a private portfolio piece.
Garry confirmed it was Nintendo
Nintendo characters X Blender: Are we a joke to you?
Garry literally confirmed it was Nintendo, regardless didn't he already delete the content anyway?
There's still questions if its legitimately Nintendo or not, it doesn't matter much either way. Much of the content has been deleted and this is something Nintendo is known to do.
The only weird thing is this content has been up forever so why pursue it now?
Normal Nintendo behavior
Doesn't mean it's right
Nintendo is the greediest, most amoral company in videogames.
They've proven this again and again over the past 40 years.
@@AvengerII unfortunately there are so many Nintendo fanboys who will blindly defend them. Because of the sheer amount of fanboys defending and damage controlling , it's very hard for Nintendo to be seen as guilty as they are.

And that's not me taking sides.
We tried to warn people way back when about how bad the DMCA would be. Emulators are not illegal. Yet they keep threatening anyone that makes them or uses them.
Yes. Emulation isnt illegal. It never was and never will be. But thats based on a 25 year old case.
But circumvention of technology is which the DMCA covers. And so does use of nonpublic domain ROMs.

@@Quandry1 that's true and they likely don't care about it, but now that this happened, it'll mostly hurt their rep more especially considering their recent trail of attacks on fans, Poke Fan Games and attack on Emulators, while reasonable to a degree, is not good PR
@@SapphireKnight675 several of those attacks were deserved. Such as both emulators. Neither were legal emulators because they required and used proprietary code. The laws state they can't do this to function. Certain other fan creations and mods were behind pay walls forcing them to act as well. Many are actually done by copyright trolls not affiliated with Nintendo. But people are too busy blaming Nintendo.
This is why I say that people need to start showing the proof it's Nintendo or any other company.
Hold up wasn’t it found out it was some guy name Aaron who was impersonating Nintendo? Other people have mentioned it in other videos that it wasn’t Nintendo but some troll
Nintendo hired DEI enforcers
It's the localizers of Nintendo
@solidsnivy5639 Still though, Nintendo needs to shutdown their localizers asap.
writings on the wall when big companies have to "compete" with emulation and gmod.
So, now people will be more likely to do Palworld add-ons? I don't think they'll mind.
The Palworld add-on to replace "Type 1" and "Type 2" with "Female" and "Male" would be great.
Yeah, I wouldn’t trust them.
I'll never understand even as a creator myself. If I had...well I do. but if my character's were so beloved by the people that people wanted them to be in GMod or hell idc if they modded the game a bit or put the character in another game by modding or animation or something anything, I wouldn't care. I'd be happy seeing how really, it just means that's how much people love that character I created.
Imagine creating an entire world, entire universe full of characters that people really do love; do care about, and you get ANGRY every time someone mods in that character to something or make something or make a fan game.
Isn't the POINT of making games and characters for people to love, isn't the point of making a brand new world for people to love, is for them to enjoy it too? For them to find joy and contentment? and to have fun with the characters??
I get wanting to protect your IP but it's not like anyone can OWN the IP anyway.
It's also like free advertisement, hell you don't see Sega doing this they love it when people make animations or fan games or something of the sort.
they aren't angry about it.
I don't get Nintendos problem
I agree with every point you've made. Unfortunately Nintendo like all IP holders these days all have the same problem.
Money.
The passion for making worlds, characters and storylines all take a backseat to profit.
Fans take a backseat to profit. Which is ironic as fans are what make their games profitable.
What a strange world we live in \T_T/
Only *real* reason I can justify is if the model uses the likeness of real people.
Typical Nintendo business practices if accurate. Like why keep doing this, Nintendo?
Edit: it comes to terms that it wasn't Nintendo that did this
Dude, Do you even have a full Proofs about it?, Even Garry himself finding DMCA seem legit from Nintendo.
The more weird thing is that After a decade They finally took a notice at GMOD workshop.
Don't these idiots realize that with every takedown notice it increases the popularity of the mods. The internet is forever.
But Nintendo doesn’t know what the internet is. Nintendo is probably still stuck in 1980’s, that’s why Nintendo’s online service runs like dial up Internet and constantly DMCA’ing fan games and emulators because they want to prevent the video game crash to happen again, that’s why Nintendo stepped in, but times have changed and everyone can make games, even modded. But not Nintendo because fan games and emulators are evil.
My only gripe is that this had nothing to do with Nintendo.
The internet isn't forever. Even with things like the way back more and more of it is missing.
@@JonathanGaetafan games do have the possibility of infringing upon and damaging IP's. You know that right?
There may also be issues with things being paid. I haven't looked in this case but in several other cases that has been one of the primary problems. Another primary problem has been things using Nintendo proprietary code. And that's not including the DMCA trolls crawling all over CZcams and tiktok.
Exactly and by the end of the day these whiners are crying over nothing
The truth is that the emulation/hacker community is what got Nintendo to create titles like Super Mario Maker and NES Remix. Without Another Metroid 2 Remake existing Nintendo might've never remade Metroid 2 for the 3DS. That fan-made project is what proved to Nintendo that there was a demand for a remake of the title and also led to Metroid Dread.
The fan community and emulation community are practically the same one. The emulation community is what has driven rerelease, remaster, and remake trends. Destroying emulation and preservation efforts will likewise destroy the companies that are fighting against it.
Samus Returns was already in development before AM2R came out.
AM2R was a project that took about a decade of work in the programmer's spare time. Online updates during development generated fan interest and, eventually, Nintendo's notice.
Ah, the perfect marriage between two mobsters: the Japan mob and the Italian mob. Now, let's take a moment to appreciate their stellar lineup, shall we? Nintendo, the supposed saints of gaming, and Mario, the Italian plumber with potential mob ties hailing from Brooklyn. It's like a match made in the shadiest alleyway imaginable. But hey, why let reality get in the way of a good marketing strategy, right? So, kudos to Nintendo for maintaining their facade of wholesomeness while hiding who knows what behind closed doors.
could be someone impersonating Nintendo.
It literally is
@@MegaPokefan97 why a copyright troll named Aaron Peters do this
Its time for people to give Nintendo what they want - stop playing their games. If they don't allow it, don't give them free press or publicity. Just play things where they don't hate their players
This will make piracy even more prominent. I can understand protecting ones IP from illegal sales, but going after people who just wants to show their love for said IP who are not doing this illegally is downright pathetic on their behalf.
Welp, somehow the SMG4 lawsuit Arc foreshadowed Nintendo forcing Gmod and SFM to remove Nintendo characters.
People seriously need to start giving Nintendo the finger.
Exactly. They really need to do that.
Only one way and that will never happen
Problem is, this isn’t even Nintendo’s doing, but a troll who been impersonating them that goes by the name Aaron Peters. Content creators like Crispy Toast has brought this up awhile back.
I stopped buying switch games long ago, last one I bought was a 3rd party game over a year ago
Their games are great, and their IPs are loved by everyone, so that won't happen.
You are very probably right. Had Palworld not poked the bear a lot of this might not have happened.
Not saying that Palworld did anything right or wrong but you can’t think that if a major company get wind their ip is being used that others wontget hit in the cross fire.
And it is their ip and they are going to protect it. If I made something like Pokémon better believe I’d enforce copyright on it.

People at Nintedo's legal department are afraid of layoffs and are working hard to justify their existence.
Nintendo does this every few years. They'll keep going until the PR starts affecting sales, then they'll do a half-assed apology and go quiet for a few years before they start again. We've been through this before.
Wonder if they'll start going after fan art
Linking to PalWorld is probably nailing it. Someone probably told Nintendo that they can't sue PalWorld since they aren't really caring that much about their trademarks.
What they need to do is chill the F out.
and lets not forget, this attitude was born out of a lawsuit between nintendo and universal studios over the word kong (ie king kong/donkey kong)
I think due to how long this has been the norm; Nintendo may have such a tilde wavy of backlash, they may have to walk it back.
Nintendo is an old school company in the best and worst ways. And this is an example of how they're old school in the worst ways. They see emulations and fan projects not as a labor of love made by loyal customers for people to play their games, but as potential threats to their investments. If Nintendo were a person, they would be the kind that would unironically still be using a flip phone. And I'm talking 90's brick flip phones that looked more like walkie talkies.
Japan doesn't have fair use and have a much more ip protection laws. Probably a culture thing.
Unfortunately, they're trying to enforce their laws & culture on the rest of the world.
Friends of mine are arguing about this being some jackass impersonating Nintendo, which would make it worse.
Notice the nano-second a mythological hero makes a god bleed the pig starts to squeal.
I still remember my favorite time on Gmod, it was a pokemon rp server I joined on a whim. My favorite part of it was being a pokemon, killing a trainer, stealing their pokeball and then catching the trainer in their own ball when they respawn. Finally I found if I pick the ball back up you had a single shot from a shotgun that killed anything I tried it on on the server.
People need to know this most likely wasn’t done by Nintendo themselves. There has been a person who been impersonating as someone working Nintendo who goes by the name “Aaron Peters” who been making false DMCA claims on anything Nintendo assets on Gmod. Content creators who use Nintendo assets for their gmod vids like Crispy Toast had brought this up awhile back.
Dude Nobody even have a proof about it and worse of all There is literally nothing we can do right now.
RPG makers would be the best way to re-create the old games about what is the oldest video game that was ever made and putting it into the library and see how they react then slowly implement the other games inside there.
Just my thoughts Upon the topic.
Next in Mario's crosshairs? Goodwill for selling used copies of software. 😅
Ugh, Nintendo is *OBSESSED* with clutching their pearls. Idk why the feel the need to be SO scummy.
Nintendo has always been this way... They've just gotten much worse.
THey were price-gouging and manipulating silicon milling to keep their game prices high in the late 1980s!
It was ridiculous seeing $75 NES games at Toys 'R Us but it happened. I saw this firsthand!
This isn't about "quality control." This is about Big N being control freaks and the greediest company in the videogame industry.
Nintendo is one of the most cutthroat companies in japan. They have a long history of anti-competition and anti-consumer legal actions under the guise of "protecting their ip" since the 80's. They literally outlawed rentals in japan. Also, if you resell a game you bought without IP holder permission, it's a crime there, because of Nintendo.
It's because if they DON'T act so scummy, their IPs go IMMEDIATELY into public domain. Blame Japanese law, not Nintendo for adhering to it.
Seriously? Damn they act like people are stealing from them when they are not whos to say this is where their first downfall starts then eventually they have to shut down cause no one wants to deal with Nintendo's bullshit anymore
They are. They are taking IP that they dont have rights to use and are using it.

Piracy IS preservation and I will never think it morally wrong to want to preserve games. For example most of the C64 library would have been lost to time if not for piracy,
I'm gonna guess that they didn't learn from their last attempt at isolation.
"It is their stuff" is the argument made by a bunch of corporate apologist. Copyright was intended to allow artist time to profit from their creation before it became public domain. But now it's pretty much infinite copyright where you have people born after the product was release that have grandchild of their own so the idea that the original creator hasn't had time to profit from their creation is just absurd. These restrictions don't help protect creativity but instead limit it. You can't have re-imagining, experimentation, and academic due to copyright limitations.
Even if Palworld was the spark that lit this firm storm it's massive success is due in large part to the fact that Nintendo has drop the ball with Pokemon. They have done what always happens, company gets a monopoly so they no longer need to compete and the product slowly declines over time as they just wanna keep cutting cost regardless of quality because they know they have a captive market.
Nintendont at its finest
Great, now I have to start preserving ROMs in case they disappear from the web, especially those old arcade 8 bit and 16 bit games.
Also yeah in the future near or bit far, there will no longer be a thing as "Buy the systems and games", I cant play games like The Legend of Spyro trilogy and Spider (PS1) which I love alot, those are on the Emulator Sites but not available on current systems, physical copies are going to be done someday AND get unsustainable & too difficult for purchase.
this is how a company that views their games as products not art would act. Shigeru Miyamoto stated as much on record when asked about it. these dcma takedown's should only be met with ire and resentment regardless of legal right. failing that. apathy towards their "products" is only thing i've left to offer them at that point. i'm also of the opinion that copyright law in general needs to be rewritten to accommodate fan works that are strictly not for profit. among other things. such as right to repair.
It may get so bad we will have a "Draw Mario Day" event, to see how mad Nintendo gets. Similar to the Mohamed one.
We might find out that the amount of content that is being removed adds up to maybe 25 or more percent of all the mods for Garry's mod.
Yet people still praise Nintendo for everything they put out when they pull stuff like this.
Consoomers going to make everything worse if you let them just consoom. Gatekeep out the normies, and always call your political representatives in your free time and tell them to fix copyright law.
First this wasn't nintendo but a dmca troll.
Second, people love their games because they are great, the company is protectionist cause they need their exclusives for selling their hardware, compared to the other two they are ONLY on gaming market.
3. Why they are so agressive?, they don't want precedents in US Laws, ask US Laws why they love frivolous demands so much.
There is Literally nothing we can so about it so trying to change something at that situation is *Pointless Indeed*
@@stigmaoftherose Pretty hilarious that people want to shove western copyright laws down Japan's throat. You're just as much in favor of colonialism as the woke mob.
Of course they are fighting hard to prevent games preservation. Can't lower quality if outdated existing content will then have higher quality.
Look at how many GenZ'ers go for older TV content like Friends. Look how many gamers these days go for pre-2005 games (in addition to not having to buy those ridiculously priced new video cards). "Destroy the past. Kill it if you have to." is the only way these companies will survive.
Me, when I'm in a hating my fans competition with Nintendo.
Me vs Nintendo
😱 vs 💪😡 🧨
Isn't Japan one of those countries where if you don't go after IP violations, you lose the IP? I know parts of the EU are.
If it gets too popular, or it makes money. The company must monetize its IP in either case, or risk losing all rights to it.
So yes, Nintendo does what it must to retain rights to their own IP.
Have you ever tried posting something to the Nintendo subreddit? They’ll delete any post that isn’t a puff piece.
Iwata's ghost: Please understand.
Nintendo has a very lawsuit happy corporate culture. Going all the way back to the 8-bit system They should really find a way to use a lighter touch. Otherwise they will end up like Disney trying to stop people from using characters going into public domain in the future.
Only paid mods get shut down. Capcom are worse that they shut down fan remakes and fan fixes. It is better to respect Nintendo's properties as Nintendo's properties.
Like hell gamers will support anyone that preventing games from being preserved. People like Capcom and Nintendo are the enemy now
Immediately reminded of the Gmod Idiot Box after hearing this
Nintendo's reputation keep sinking everyday
My main question about the out of print games being available is what the hell does the company that owns the rights get out of it?
I guess it could be kind of cool for an Nintendo to turn around and say a working cartridge of Mario Brothers for your Nintendo system will go for $700.
However, it is one of the things I have always felt when I was in the realm of making duplicates of miniatures using rubber molds.
I did it for two reasons. Either to use all the extra parts that might come with some games workshop kits cause I thought that was just incredibly wasteful or if it’s not being sold anymore. If I can’t buy that gun tour it or I can’t buy that tank Anywhere, but that’s the one I want. I will make a mold of it.
So if a person wants to play old school games from any company and they aren’t making it available in some format then why the hell not?
I’ve seen the game systems in the store where you can buy this re-created Sega or Nintendo and it says it’s got 500 games on there. If they’re not doing something like that, I think that the rights to the game should go into public domain. Use it or lose it.
I don’t think they have that much to worry about. I have found footage of people playing some of the older games and showed it to my son.
He was asking how I could still enjoy games like the first Diablo or fire warrior because the graphics were so bad.
So I showed him that first D&D game where you’re just a little archer dude moving through yellow tunnels and you get to a dragon that just looks like a seahorse.
So I don’t think it’s gonna take over the market. It’s just a nostalgia thing.
How long before all their games start up with "Attention user, you will be facing legal action for playing this game." :/
I think a part of the take downs is to discourage another Palworld from sprouting up
they are making themselves look bad more then anything else could honestly his is how you lose fans for nothing just like the emulators and everything heck if they did there own emulator for older stuff they could see if a old game was being played a lot they would not people might want a sequel or something like that
I bought a Switch and ACNH after watching you and SquidKing play it. (and my house on my island has a pet clownfish named Steve) :) I wonder how many others bought games after watching a livestream? Nintendo has to know it sells games.
Yuzu should have gone to court
""20 years of content", "Nintendo is fiercely protective", these two phrases that don't belong side by side.
I know the next console I'm not gonna get, it isn't a Nintendo brand,
I actually gave up of alot on official consoles for stupid choices like these.
Prefer old school, on 3rd party console.
Like the movie biz, gaming biz needs to follow suit & making sure that the older titles are preserved- esp given that these retro games can be a source of revenue for them. But they folks running both are too obbesed with pushing agenda- rather than push great media to see.
Amazing that they waste their time on this, like Palworld. It's not like it's even cutting into their profits. They are just complaining for the sake of complaining.
Nintendo really doesn’t understand how the internet works.
Haven't bought their stuff since SNES. That'll continue.
If Nintendo wants to go sue somebody, they should sue Niantic....
14:44 87 percent? I can see how titles would be lost over time, but I would never have guessed the number to be that high.
What does this even do to benefit them?
If the content is left up for a certain amount of time dont the claims hit a statute of limitations or something ?
I am getting the weirdest ad-break right now... There is no video player on screen, just a banner ad with a URL, and music that sounds like a weird blend of Sonic 3 and Super Mario Land is playing. I can't find the video to get the title, never mind skip it. Magic Tap still works to play/pause, and I am otherwise at a loss. I wish I remembered what the last thing said in the real video was, but I'm so confused by this situation that it kinda forced it out of my working memory. It feels like Nintendo decided to intervene to stop the negativity.
Part Doo on it's way... Rumor has it, it's not Nintendo who filed the takedown.
How many times do fan-made emulators end up in commercial systems and releases? Wasn't it a fan emulator in the PS1 Classic?
The AtariAge website was a source of information for the old Activision Anthology collections from ages ago.
And there was the time Ubisoft had to resort to a pirate-cracked version of their own game to patch out a broken copy-protection method! Seriously!
They bent the knee, they deserve to go under.
If this happens enough times, maybe you'll start to see these guys stand up for themselves more.
If putting up with Nintendo's bullying costs them nothing, Nintendo will get away with it forever.
Nintendo loves their money but hates anyone that tries to do something fun with their games.
This is reminding me I need to back up my Dreamcast discs... very slowly... via Serial Port...
I have an extensive videogame collection and would like to open a museum someday. I don't want to put 30 to 40 year old consoles for demonstration play. Emulators is the way to go as I can use cheap modern hardware. Ninendo's actions would prevent this. Also, this effort could be hindered if Nintendo or someone else decides the display of a game in a museum is a "public performance" and against the licensing agreement.
And, since Nintendo is one of the oldest companies still in existence, a museum without Nintendo would be pointless.
For me, I have a few years to figure that out.
Their confidence has been shaken, this is an over compensation..
Some of the stuff they're trying to cut is stuff well over 40 year old game stuff. but a lot of it is unfortunately covered under the old "save Mickey mouse" act
theres a theorum in needing to always apply copyright otherwise it weakens your copyright
BUT garrys mod has had these mods for fucking decades, like, the mario kart map is amazing fun if they aint said shit for DECADES right, like thats how long we're looking at here from pokeball greandes to full mario maps, NOTHING and then they're bitching? feel like thats a no.
MDISC optical media uses a mineral layer and is rated for 1,000 years. Why isn't it used for physical items? Anyway, at least you can backup to it.
Average JP corpo behavior
I have to wonder if Nintendo is doing this out of revenge for consumers making mods of Pokémon in Palworld, and just the sting of bitterness from that situation in general.
And people still buying their products anyways.
Anyone remember that gmod idiot box bit where mario uses a crow bar on a positive reviewer for a nintendo game to take his money? Aging like fine wine.
