      Nintendo literally shut down a company last month for developing an emulator for the switch just by having more money.

        Nintendo is a Japanese company. They settled out of court. The US legal system did not get involved…

          Yea, it did. In most countries if you threaten to sue someone for something like this the judge would just laugh you out if the court room. What Nintendo did was threaten them with a lengthy legal battle they had no means to pay for and the options were to just shut down and declare bankruptcy or have Nintendo drain their funds and then declare bancruptcy. There was no other outcome because of how the US system of you can sue anyone for anything works.

        Yeah and we are talking about a woman being TORTURED in Nigeria.

        Not sure how you can think Nintendo suing someone is comparable to this.

          According to the article the conditions in the jail were just deplorable to the point of being torture which is also common in the US. So that’s also comparable.

            Really? I haven’t heard of that. Where have you heard of jail cells with water across the whole floor and no furniture?

            If you can provide evidence, I’ll change my mind.
