Would this still have happened if it wasn't in the UK?

>>720428260
Hard to say. The UK is basically an eastern euro shithole at this point.

Does anyone other than autistic trannies give a fuck about any of that?

>resale prohibited
>try to resell them publicly
>get done
And? Am I meant to feel sorry for this guy?

Make this story a Cyberpunk 2077 mod where SEGA hires you to retrieve their trashed devkits.

>>720428503
Why do people who don't care about video games post on the board for video games?
>>720428552
Not reselling the carts was SEGA's job. Doesn't give them the right to steal what they sold fair and square.

>>720428165 (OP)
BASED!
SEGA needs to start behaving like Nintendo if they want to be respected.
Next: C&D all Sonic fangames! End the slop!

>>720428646
If you purchase stolen goods and then sell them to someone else they're still stolen goods
Sega shouldn't have thrown them out, and the recycler shouldn't have sold them but the guy that bought them still wasn't supposed to have them and should have been more discreet if he didn't want this to happen

>>720428786
>the guy that bought them still wasn't supposed to have them and should have been more discreet if he didn't want this to happen
but then he wouldn't get his ebin retrogamer cred

>>720428503
Going off TCRF's tomfoolery of late, even they banned longtime contributors just because those folks didn't like the website no longer having a non-partisan stance on pride shit.

>>720428260
In the US it would be very strange because it would open them up to a lot of legal backlash for the police involved and sega because the US has better consumer laws and protections, if they can prove the devkits were purchased legally and show receipts of purchase then technically nothing illegal happened.

>>720428165 (OP)
Can they raid your faggot spamming ass? Fuck off already we get it.

SEGA

sega is just a bitch to nintendo these days

>>720428165 (OP)
so was it nintendo or sega?

>>720428786
they weren't stolen
a sticker saying "not for resale" is not a legal document
they 100% belonged to the guy who bought them

UK and Nintendo, what a horrible dystopian combination.
The fact that they are refusing to produce any of the appropriate legal documents should make it obvious even to the dumbest observer (you), that they had no legal right to do this.
They will probably send some migrants to kill the guy and problem solved.

>>720436189
Someone at Nintendo probably told Sega to get the devkits "or else".

>>720436189
It was 100% Sega. Nintendo has nothing to do with this.

>>720436814
>Nintendo
It was Sega. If it were Nintendo they wouldn't be as clandestine about it and said
>look yeah you're not supposed to have those were going to give you a warning but if you don't we'll exert our legal right

>>720428503
I care in the broad sense that I like video games and want video games to be preserved, even if they're games I don't personally enjoy.

I also care in that the UK is a cucked shithole where somehow 1984 became a blueprint not a warning.

I also care in that copyright probably needs to be abolished, but also humans kind of need to be abolished, so it's a push.

Reddit spacing.

>>720432258
I wanted to send my aussie friend a replica gun (as in a completely non-functional metal fake) but he said they'd confiscate it and imprison him for trying to receive a gun.

>>720438416
>exert our legal right
Remember how Nintendo hired people to visit the Ryujinx guy's house for some extra legal encouragement?

>>720438350
>>720438416
you are retarded
how often have you seen sega go after fans like this?
and how often have you seen nintendo do it?

>>720438782
and they were nintendo dev kits, not sega
sega cared enough about them to throw them in the garbage dump

>>720438782
>fans

Sure

>>720438782
>how often have you seen sega go after fans like this?
All the time, but you're a tendie so it's not like you care about other companies. Hell Sega was one of the many companies that dmca'd vimms.
Then there's this
https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/03/sega-forces-mistaken-dmca-takedown-for-steam-data-tracker/

And there's the fact that it was confirmed that the PI was hired on behalf of Sega, not Nintendo. And the police raided his home on behalf of Sega, not Nintendo.
And the dev kits were the property of Sega which they hired a disposal crew for, not Nintendo.

Honestly, you tendies think Nintendo is the entire industry don't you.

you can take the horse to the water but you can't make it drink

>>720438782
>how often have you seen sega go after fans like this?
Did you forget when Sega sent out all of those c&ds on behalf of Atlus for persons 5?

>>720438782
It's reddit but I'm not doing a deep dive on this shit.
Apparently Sega fanboys were playing damage control saying it was a fake claim but it was all bullshit

>>720439245
why do you think it's sega? Could've easily been roblox themselves since they are the ones getting the cash from speed simulator anyway

>>720428503
This. What does prototype got to do with preservation? It's not even a public product, it's just a collector autist hogging bunch of trash like an absolute moron.
This is like preserving someone's used tissue and displaying it on a museum next to a picture of his face without his consent. Sonic autists are seriously weird.

>>720439385
And here's one of the fanboys now.

Americans would have sent the pinkertons, like WotC did when a guy was sold a set that wasn't released yet and leaked some of the cards online.

>give the devkits to third party company to be destroyed
>third party steals the devkits and sells them
>sega goes after the the guy that illegally purchased devkits that were meant to be destroyed
What am i supposed to be outraged at here? Sega?

>>720439854
no one tell this guy about scrap yards, the idea you can go and buy old scrap would blow his mind

>>720439974
This wasn't a scrapyard.
They were obligated to destroy the devkits, not resell them. Again, what am i supposed to be outraged here aside from blatant thievery.

>>720439408
>NOOOOOO YOU CAN'T PRESERVE HISTORY
I bet you thought picrel was funny, faggot.

>>720439708
For that case if that guy had contacted a lawyer he would've known his rights, all the pinkertons could do legally was knock on his and talk him into giving them the cards through legal coercion, which they did and he willingly forfeited the cards.

>>720439854
the junkyard literally told them they were going to sell them, read the small print next time, retardo

Also you can't sell unsellable goods.

>any house could be a rape dungeon

some days i miss being involved with development hardware and development build collecting and sharing but i had enough problems and legal trouble and drama from it all and just want to do my own shit being autistic
to be fair though this dude has such an absurd amount of stuff because sega fucked up that i almost want to side with sega just because of how much there was including modern development hardware not just old shit
almost, but ill still side with the guy doing nothing wrong fuck sega

The US has been doing illegal raids all year. Why do you care about this incident?

how long til a sanrizuka or saitama lone wolf pays a visit to the nintendo's offices with a car?
