Nintendo Reply To Bushings Piracy Concerns

[wraggster]

Bushing one of the Wii Scenes most prominent hackers last week went public with his plea to Nintendo to answer him and stop a piracy exploit (unreleased) in the Wii that allows unmodified Wiis to run pirated Games, Bushing updated and Nintendo have replied.
He did not post the reply from Nintendo, he just posted

(Insert a polite reply here from a real person at Nintendo, indicating that they received my message and will reply further shortly.)

(No, I won’t be posting any other correspondence with them.)

Bushing has also posted all the emails from people pretending to be from nintendo (eg [email protected]).


Looks like the pirates wont be getting their day after all and by doing this Bushing has protected the Homebrew scene. Yes a strange move for a Wii Hacker to Work with Nintendo but protecting against Piracy benefits all and especially the Homebrew Community.

spread the word

Oh yes, that's Nintendo alright. Especially all the typos and grammar errors. More like a faker who wishes to use that info to create a program to load pirated games.

Who's Tyson Green?

I'm assuming it's a made up name, although there is a Tyson Green who works for Bungie as Multiplayer Design Lead.

Hah so nobody noticed the gmail email address
i saw that straight away
But i somhow think bushing may have fell for this as he seems to be announcing that he got this email lol,come on im sure nintendo would have more to say than "hey your bad give us the hack" come on does anybody think he has actually sent it to this person lol

[KristenBaldousor]

Well, i don't know if that's a made up email, subject and name to protect the actual nintendo personal or a faker who want to get a hold of the code and do a loader, as has been stated before, but I wouldn't trust a email that comes like this and even, a with wush rude manner

I mean, the guy is helping Nintendo and they go like this, or at least, the guy who wrote the response went like this

Response #9 made me chuckle.

Indeed. I know no "Tyson Green" who has a correspondence with Nintendo.

Eh, I bet he just wants people to stop pestering him, so he went with one of the fake emails, sent them some junk code, and then decided to make it look like he was not going to release the code after all.

I doubt Nintendo is using Gmail accounts just to hide their employees' work email addresses. They'd have the email sent with something generic in the To: box, like [email protected].

Why would Nintendo even post a comment via site? A true professional company would physically email him personally and not make it so obvious and for everyone to see.

Come on wraggster, you should know better than post stuff without reading.
