    Yeah I saw this the other day, sounds like Nintendo’s lawyers may have taken action because of the Patreon of all things?

    It’s mind-blowing why they would do this. Just seems so needless.

      Was the Patreon for the nature documentary series specifically, or for the creator as a whole?

      If it’s the former, I can see why Nintendo would think they’d have an opening to issue a takedown for someone who’s monetizing and profiting off their IP.

      It’s why Yuzu and Ryujinx were met with a terrible fate after they paywalled early access builds that they advertised as being able to play BOTW/TOTK prior to release due to leaked copies breaking street date.
