The gaming YouTubers had been making news and reviews about Soulja Boy's bootleg game consoles and somehow, he had the guts to accuse them and gamers out of his ignorance and lack of realization as if there's no intention to repent his actions. The way he accused those gamers and YouTubers was with the use of homophobic slurs and getting racially biased as if he thought that they were preventing him from doing well in the game business when in actuality, HE WAS DOING ILLEGAL STUFF by selling those consoles which were actually Chinese-made consoles containing pirated games although the Fuze console was a different story like it was an answer to genuine modern consoles that even China has Playstation 4 and Xbox One sold there legally. Another thing he was biased about was that people including me had the knowledge that Nintendo is going to sue him although I don't know if the lawsuit had really happened or not. Not to mention that the site, souljagame.com, led you to the Nintendo 3DS official webpage but I don't know if Nintendo did this redirection or not.
There had been challenging times Nintendo dealt with piracy ever since the 1990s. There were unofficial addons for Nintendo consoles where you can load games from floppy disks or CD-RWs on the consoles. Of course, at that time, Nintendo took action against those who produced those addons but what about the Everdrive series of cartridges for consoles? I don't know if that legal action was a good move or not but apparently, those addons would allow you to bypass regional restrictions. There were even sites containing ROMs of Nintendo games taken down and the couple running one particular site was FINED like nobody's joking. This kind of action by Soulja Boy can make him held REALLY LIABLE or some sort and yet he tried to DENY the consequences that would come to him and especially for the troubles he's been outrunning like they are black holes or something.
Then, there were workarounds for the limitations of NES Classic and SNES Classic in which you are able to add additional games there but again, this is questionable and especially for the hacked Nintendo Switch consoles which open the same opportunity for playing retro games on them. You're already better off with playing retro games on Virtual Console, NES Classic, SNES Classic or even the online service on Switch that allows you to play NES games on it LEGALLY if we're talking about the modern times. The same goes for Neo Geo Mini which is kind of okay although you can play Neo Geo games legally on Switch through Hamster ACA service.
To scold us and other gamers retarded and other shit for whatever reason is unacceptable as if Soulja Boy had a bad attitude. Not to mention that he didn't even see what's inside the consoles in action and especially for Fuze which is entirely in Chinese and should REMAIN in the Chinese market only. Try importing Fuze like some reviewer did and you will have a hard time getting stable network connection. Not to mention that it is like other Android boxes that are controlled via remote-control or game controllers. So if he gets scolded over this illegal shit he did, don't blame us because we know he had fucked up his future. Furthermore, music career or not, his reputation as a rapper can be ruined because of that.
Talk about lack of honesty of what the product is like in action, lack of repenting, bad attitude towards YouTubers, not fearing consequences and even running away to Dubai for a tour with some of his fans defending him on social media. It's a total fraud and he can be held liable for trademark infringement as he did not have the rights and license to sell those game consoles in the first place. What is his music career for for a decade when he did this illegal shit?
There have been endless NES clones taking shape of other game consoles whether it's portable or home console and this has been happening even today globally. Even some booths containing NES clones in action happened to be in the IT roadshow made me wonder if that was an illegal display or not. But even then, Nintendo is some company you shouldn't mess with ever since although they had done a bunch of wrong things like taking down fanmade games for instance as if the company's overprotective of their IPs. Maybe they are right about protecting their IPs but they sort of tackle piracy in both wrong and right ways.
This was a bad way to end the year 2018 for Soulja Boy and who knows if he will land himself in jail for trademark infringement or not?
