GAMER LOUNGE 20XX (NO CASUALS!!)

>> makes more profit, AND brings more attention to the creative portion of the effort (Christian Whitehead)[/spoiler]
Monetization and marketing. Fairly normal.

Nintendo:

>> poorly-manages the competence of lawyers
>> shuts down any fan-made content they can find because they feel threatened that people will make bigger profit than them
>> ignores the desires of fans in general

Strategy very hazardous. Preschool's marketing managers. But Nintendo never intended to target fans, not profitable enough and ask for too many things (Nintendo think). Add "Super" or "Mario" to the title and it run... then the second-hand market explode.
