Holy shit, I can't even imagine the amount of mods that will get erased. There were so many fan-mods, maps, minigames, models... Fucking Nintendo...

There is no profit being made by harassing some innocent modders. If anything, projects like these are free advertising for Nintendo.

Won't you think of all that missed revenue because of IP misuse? It's just as clear as with piracy: every unlawful download is 100% a sale the could have gotten, but didn't . It's simple geometry. We don't need proof, because piracy bad. This IP misuse is just opening up the gate to further infringement, thus undermining their core business.
