Surely some of you will remember that on June 19 of last year the youtuber Desmond Amofah, known by the name of Ethics, was missing, as stated by the New York City Police Department. Unfortunately, 6 days later the same police confirmed that his body has been found lifeless. The causes of his death were not shared at that time, all indications later indicated that it was a suicide.
Well, we get a most curious news related to Etika and that is Nintendo’s lawyers sent a warning to the makers of Etika’s Joy-Con, known as Etikons, to stop their sale. It should be noted that the benefits of these Joy-Con are intended for the charity, specifically to the JED Foundation, an association that addresses mental illness in youth and young adults to try to prevent suicides.
Nintendo’s warning began in September and, after discovering it, Etika fans did not take it well at all, especially when CptnAlex, the creator of the Etikons, issued an official note to confirm what happened:
The information is correct. Nintendo’s warning includes all of my products, including the Etikons. The only design rights Nintendo has is the word Joy-Con. Although they didn’t specify why they removed the individual designs, they did include a list of copyrights that I would infringe, which includes the word Joy-Con. That’s bullshit. I still have 30-40 sets that I would like to give away at conventions or other events.
It’s hard to understand why Nintendo didn’t exclude the Etikons from the warning. Removing a product designed for charity and dedicated to a huge fan of your games certainly doesn’t seem like a good idea a priori, at least in terms of marketing. The case would be different if from its sale, its creator obtained economic benefits for himself, since it is still a product created and patented by Nintendo.
Finally, we remind you that this youtuber was known, among other things, for uploading videos like your reaction to the Nintendo Direct that the Big N prepared to broadcast during E3. On the other hand, he also made it clear that he had a Nintendo Switch long before it was released. Maybe you didn’t know about him. But, after all, a nintendero left.
Via.
