Game Freak has been allegedly hacked, with source codes for Pokemon games reportedly leaked
It appears another "gigaleak" has gone down, involving Nintendo. According to sources online, it appears that Game Freak has been hacked, resulting in internal data from the company being leaked to the public. Those involved in the hacking community or those within general Pokemon related groups...
You're viewing a single thread.
Good. Couldn't have happened to a worse company other than Nintendo.
Now people can verify if Gamefreak's excuses for not including all Pokemon in each game since the Switch games are real. And verify how low effort their games are.
Nintendo aren't the worst company. Not even the worst gaming company. Not when they have competition like Ubisoft and Warner Brothers and EA and Activision.
Of course, if it weren't for the presence of the aforementioned companies, Nintendo would be the worst.
I mean they take like 33% of that guy named bowser’s life earnings. Which are severely reduced because they also got him thrown in jail for a felony.
That’s pretty uniquely evil
That’s hardly unique when damages exceed what a person can pay, wage garnishing is actually relatively common.
Nintendo also gave Gary Bowser a warning and he signed an agreement saying he would stop his illegal activities… and then he continued anyway.
They gave him an out at no cost and instead he landed himself in prison because he fucked around and found out.
I agree that bowser brought the final outcome on himself, however, that does not expunge Nintendo of guilt.
They continue to collect their 30% or however much it is.
In what way is Nintendo guilty?
If you read the above thread and don't see it, it's because they're overly vindictive. Garnishing someone's wages is obscene when they're so incredibly rich. They don't even need it
That’s just punitive damages awarded by the court and also isn’t unusual.
I don't know why people defend Gary Bowser like he is an innocent dude. He was part of a Hacker Group that hacked Nintendo Switch, 3DS, GameCube, NES Classic, Xbox and Xbox 360, PlayStation. They SOLD the hacked device's. He wasn't your Neighbor that hacked your Switch for a beer. They made Business with it for 10 years. Besides that, Nintendo wasn't the Person who decided the sentence. It was a Judge. What do you think Nintendo should do? The Judge ruled him for Prison and 14.5 Million and Nintendo says publicly: "No thanks." Yeah the sentence is way to hard, but the problem is the law and the Judge.
As I mentioned in other comments, I have no illusions that Gary Bowser is innocent or didn’t bring this all on himself. It’s his own fault he kept doing what he was doing.
However, the court doesn’t follow Gary from job to job initiating the process to garnish his wages.
It’s nintendo who is continuing to persecute Gary at this point, not the courts. Garnishing someone’s minimum wage job as a billion dollar corporation is uniquely evil.
I could be wrong, but I have not seen anything remotely close from EA, activision, blizzard, Microsoft, Sony, etc. and my original point was this is uniquely evil to Nintendo.
Sony in the early 2000 was going crazy for Modchips for PS2. They had multiple Cord cases in Europe, in multiple countries and many People needed to pay money in different Country's.
Later in 2011 George Hotz hacked the PS3, Sony warned him and he stopped. So we don't know how it would have ended if Sony and George ended up in Cord.
Nintendo also warned Team Xecuter multiple times but the Team wasn't interested in stopping. There isn't much difference between PlayStation and Nintendo.
As bad as they are, EA isn't sending lawyers to every fan project that revives their old games, they are just regular greedy, not petty greedy. Ubisoft to this day ignores Rayman Redemption too.
I'd say they're not even the worst of the big three console manufacturers. The stuff Microsoft and Sony do to the gaming industry is just as bad, but that's ignoring that they both have their fingers in a lot of other technological pies where they do some really bad shit.
Source code is only for HG/SS and B2W2, so we still can't verify anything about the newer genes
Damn. Too bad. But those are both interesting games to have the source code of.
Is the source code for HG/SS the latest or is it from an earlier build?
Now people can verify if Gamefreak’s excuses for not including all Pokemon in each game since the Switch games are real. And verify how low effort their games are.
Wasn't it true, but due to time not technical issues. Basically they keep redoing/remaking from scratch sprites instead of re-using them.
Nah, some folks got a hold of the wire frames for the sprites from the that version and the previous version and showed most were identical. Of those that weren't, many were only slightly modified, and clearly not generated from scratch.
Evidence wouldn't be as concrete as source code, but there was plenty of evidence from data miners. Gamefreak kept moving goal posts when it came to why it wasn't feasible for Sword and Shield to have all the Pokémon which is my frustration with that situation. I think they complained about the capacity of the cartridge the games were stored on was one, which was readily proven wrong. Dont quote me on that. But I do think that was ultimately the case.
Nope. The models have stayed the same from X&Y to Sword and Shield. Only in Scarlet and Violet have they been given an upgrade.
