Nintendo has reportedly sent a cease and desist letter to an Indiegogo charity campaign that was making custom Joy-Con controller shells in memory of YouTuber Desmond "Etika" Amofah.
The campaign, which reached nearly $37,000 in funds raised by its conclusion in August of last year, was for a set of "Etikons," Joy-Con controllers with custom shells in honor of a YouTuber who took his own life (https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2019-06-25-desmond-etika-amofah-found-dead-at-29) earlier that June.
Proceeds from each sale were donated to the non-profit mental health resource group JED Foundation, with over $10,000 donated (https://twitter.com/Cptn_Alex/status/1207047965883408386?s=20) in December of last year.
