RE: NCFC 2017 preliminary information.
After watching these two videos:
I can't help but feel scared as all hell of Nintendo and their cruel, dream crushing lawyers! I'm sorry to say this guys, I never wanted to face the truth and admit it, but, at this point, I don't know if I can run from it anymore. I really hate to say this, but making fan works and fan-fiction is still illegal and against the law, and to protect myself, I unfortunately can't ever fulfill my dreams of releasing my own Zelda fan games.
There, I said it. No matter how long I can spend fantasizing about the "what if", the reality is never going to change that I'm never going to feel the fulfillment of actually getting finished fan works out there. Ever fan fiction project I've made or worked on has always been left unfinished, ever since I stopped continuing work on my Zelda fan series on youtube called "Revenge of Dark Link". All because "scares" from bills being passed, the release of Hyrule Historia, and fan projects being taken down, my anxiety just continues to build up more and more. I become more and more scared of failing to launch my fan works. I become afraid of being in trouble with the law or being hated on.
I'm sorry everyone. But I just can't do this anymore. I might end up making a youtube video about me quitting fan fiction project making all together. Literally, the only thing I can legally make is indie/original games. However, I lack all sorts of motivation for that. I'm too much into Zelda and Metroid lately. If I even tried to make something original, it'll only just make me wish I was working on something Zelda or Metroid related instead. Especially with my withdrawal issues and always wanting more.
It's this moment, when I truly realize how much better my life was a decade ago. I was happier. And I didn't even care about stupid copyright law nonsense. I still kept pressing forward, no matter what. That said, I really miss those days. If I had the chance to relive those days, maybe even make them better than before, I'd take that chance in a heartbeat! But sadly, I'm stuck living in a world were and law and order against fandom is even more strict than ever, unfortunately.
And with all that said. I'll still be here to show support. But I just don't think I can ever stomach or find the guts to stand up against this strict law and order business now. It's getting way too scary for me handle. I don't even know if I want to continue to call myself a Nintendo fan. Please understand and spread the word. This stuff needs to be heard.
Nintendo needs to know about the kind of serious impact this copyright stuff has on their fans!
