GodofKawaii Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) So what if you woke up and pokemmo was no longer running? The thought comes to mind every now and then with being a player since late 2015 with the game being up since 2012, im sure the devs have put some consideration on how they would like to end it from a wide range of scenarios. All thoughts are welcome express legal concerns *unless the staff state otherwise*, how you think/believe of when/how the game may end unless the devs aint immortal anime characters. Asking for a friend that's all... Edited February 27, 2021 by GodofKawaii totally not asking for a friend Link to comment
noomuch Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 only reason for it to end is developers no longer updating, or the value of items dont matter and stuff (not gonna happen) Link to comment
Johnwaynee Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Some nuclear warstrike against kyu. Apart from that they just end it. Just like any other game deciding to shut down. Link to comment
Neuzzz Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 New players join everyday, meaning a new flow of "donation" all appear even if there are some who quit the game. So i don't see it ending any time soon. Link to comment

So i don't see it ending any time soon. as that may be true a donation can't stop a dev from the Covid and potentially just stopping any development or upkeep of the server Link to comment
RealMak Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Hopefully not today. I don't want it to end like how some other favourite games ended ( for example, Pokemon Uranium and all the Roblox's Pokemon games from the copyright strikes ) Link to comment
Quakkz Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 That can happen anytime like in any fanmade game. We all gotta find a new forum to shitpost in then Link to comment
Poufilou Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I'm curious about what makes PokeMMO survives from legal issues leading to shutdown. I know a little bit of Copyright laws, but it's difficult to apply it to fangames. Since the source code isn't different because of ROMs, the only way I can see that is because PokeMMO has a different UI, and adds something original to the game being online and having online features and changes in game itself. I wonder if the fact that some things proper to each games are not implemented due to legal issues, or because it's difficult to add. I don't know which country PokeMMO depends to lawful wise, but I wonder if the number of Devs working on it affects the law as PokeMMO can have a different status. We just have to cross fingers and hope PokeMMO lives long ! Nintendo is a uguu for copyright Hadesdiite, GodofKawaii, marisa and 1 other 4 Link to comment

TeamRocketHarry Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 after about 2 seconds of grieving I'd probably just play another game tbh Link to comment
EssDeeCee Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I'd honestly feel a bit bad for the people who converted their paychecks into RP and then into vanities. For about 2 seconds. Link to comment

CanadaSorry Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) They get away with it because they dont sell direct nintendo content, they barely run the game. Its actually the player that does all the "criminal activity" by downloading all the ROM files. Without those files, its just a script, and barely considered a game. Add that to the fact they dont advertise sales, RP will cost the same today as it did last year and likely will cost exactly the same next year since they cant actually "market/advertise" the "donations". They are not donations if they advertise. They are purchases. And that kinda ties into the fact that they dont actually name any vanities from actual pokemon. The rattata costume is "small rat hood" instead of simply naming it rattata hood. Sure it might LOOK like one...but it aint...its just a rat...that happens to be purple ;) Its little loopholes like that, which prevent nintendo from copyright stomping pokemmo Maaaybe not EXACTLY like that.....but thats the general concept as to how pokemmo will be 10 years strong soon Edited March 1, 2021 by CanadaSorry YangKu, GodofKawaii and Neuzzz 3 Link to comment
Gilan Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 10 minutes ago, CanadaSorry said: Its actually the player that does all the "criminal activity" by downloading all the ROM files. Woah now, I saved copies of my physical Game Cartridge ROMs as backups like a good little boy. I honestly think that if Nintendo really wanted to fight the fight, they could go after PokeMMO and put enough legal pressure on them that the game would grind to a halt. Like, the Devs may win in the end, but there’s enough here that it could probably get dragged to court. It’s just that the lawyer costs for Nintendo aren’t worth it. Other games have been shut down because it’s a more EZ Clap legal case that Nintendo could win without hesitation. GodofKawaii and CanadaSorry 2 Link to comment
