People are already bad enough with the unjust complaints towards Nintendo issuing take downs towards fan games. Which BTW they practically only ever do with fan-games that are trying to make money off of their IP's without permission. Which puts them completely in the right.

We don't need any more of those ridiculous complaints about this. Dreams isn't even fan-made. It's an actual company trying to use Nintendo's IP without permission. The take down notice is completely just.

You do know the content inside Dreams is fan-made, right? it's not like Sony are actively making or advertising Mario based games. You may as say it's justified for Sony to sue Nintendo for letting Kratos and PaRappa Miis on Shared Content.

Except the dreams software in of itself, software that people have to pay money to get BTW, is a Sony property made by subsidiaries of Sony. Of course Nintendo would be issuing a take down. They are in the right to do so.

One thing is being overlooked here: Nintendo and Sony are actually doing something together, for the first time since the early 90s, when the Nintendo Playstation never got off the ground.

It takes a lot for Sony to swallow their pride and actually collaborate with Nintendo for anything. Even if it's just between the Western branches.

KirbyWorshipper2465 Wait, Nintendo is collaborating with Sony on dreams?

Despite the fact that you're paying for the software that the Mario content was made in, not the Mario content? and the fact Nintendo isn't sending the takedowns to Sony but to the fan devs? The devs behind those Mario fangames aren't making a single penny. Fair use!

@psb123 No I mean, the fact that Sony even allowed Nintendo to do the lawsuit for fan-made content in a game of Sony's in the first place. It's so conspicuously weird for them to find neutral ground over this, of all things.

Wario Wario Wario The developers of dreams are actively looking into ways for creators to earn money off of what they make. https://www.ccn.com/ps4-dreams-players-could-soon-be-making-money-for-their-creations/

Therefore, the take downs are completely justified.

KirbyWorshipper2465 Oh. So that's what you meant. I gotcha now.

It clearly says "business opportunities", not direct money from the games themselves, but business opportunities. Not like YouTube monitisation, but more like being hired because of a Dreams project, which would, even in the case of a Mario fangame, be entirely legal - and even if it wasn't, it'd be completely ethical either way.
