At this point I'm very concerned about the open source industry relying so much on github. You have to remember that any project there can be swept away overnight because it doesn't fit into the agenca of a large company, for example.

You already had negative thoughts about nintendo...so does that count? Most people won't even see this...so I don't think it's much bad press.

As for legal battles...being sued is not really about committing crimes...you can lose legal battles while not doing anything illegal. I think Nintendo would likely win from simply pushing the devs into bankruptcy...

If it's enough negative thoughts pile up, they'll eventually breach a threshold where people avoid the company. I was looking forward to Metroid Prime 4, but I'm thinking of skipping it now.
