"So, those guys generate positive advertisement for our games. How do we stop it, and make sure that public opinion shifts to «Nintendo is cringe and you're a loser if you play this shit»?"
Also, what the fuck is with Japanese law, criminalising modding?
My best guess would be that they're trying to get ahead of the recompiler scene before it catches a bigger foothold. But also, that lumps in the entire rom hacking and fan translation community, which I'm sure they view as perpetuating the piracy of their games.
If AI-generating images from copyrighted training material is legal, then generating source code from copyrighted binary code is as well.
That's only true if you're a large corporation doing it.
