    I would say don’t make a freaking patreon for it. You know what companies hate even more than people using thier IPs? Getting money while doing it.

      This looks like a straight cash grab. I bet the whoever owns this github won’t work on it at all.

      Nah fuck that, let’s all make a patreon for every. single. fork.

      Let’s see if Nintendo’s unlimited legal budget is unlimited or ISP “unlimited”

        They have a bunch of lawyers inhouse who do this as part of their day job. Sending a cease & desist to github and patreon costs them nothing extra, and neither of those will fight Nintendo in court to protect IP infringements.

          Conservatively, if several thousand forks appear, they may hire an additional person and cost themselves a couple hundred thousand. Given your point, there must be a more effective way to be an attrition-based nuisance.
