- lemoncookiechip 8mo agoIt's not, but more people know what a Nintendo is by name recognition.
- jasoneckert 8mo agoCertain companies are well-known for their legal teams. Qualcomm is one (often described as a legal company that employs some engineers). Nintendo is the other. As a result, Nintendo's legal team is far more likely to ensure they get refunded, and quickly. They could provide a template for others to follow.
- RyJones 8mo agowhen I worked there, I described it as a navy of lawyers with a dinghy of engineers.
- rectang 8mo agoHmm, I would have thought of Oracle first. (EDIT: I just mean as a litigious company, well-known for its legal team.)
- dafelst 8mo agoTrump is too useful to Ellison right now, he isn't going to derail that gravy train over a few tens of millions of dollars.
- TimorousBestie 8mo agoNintendo is famously litigious and has the legal war chest to sustain a court battle with usgov.
- mschuster91 8mo agoNintendo has big fucking money. And it‘s a household name. Say, they get pissed off too much… they could run campaigns just days before the election if they wanted.
- happytoexplain 8mo agoI've never heard of V.O.S. Selections.

- happytoexplain 8mo agoThanks, but I was answering your question by anecdote, not asking for clarification. To be clear: I'm implying an opinion that Nintendo has more name recognition than V.O.S. Selections, not that their suit is otherwise more significant.
