Uncredited codes on YouTube

[dcx2]

Yeah, they did add some protection to Metroid: Other M.  I thought that was weird...it's a single player game, so who cares if people cheat?

I can understand why developers would be hesitant.  They might not believe that I'm a white hat.  Or maybe it's just Occam's Razor...perhaps the emails were never read, or they were read by some intern who didn't pass them up the line, or the intern passed them to some middle-management PHB who didn't take it seriously or let it get swept up in the daily rush.

Bushing's encounter with Nintendo, though, was enough to make me never want to contact them, ever.

My final attempt will be just straight up posting to the gamefaqs board where I see HVS staff.  Maybe if I call them out in public on the board they'll answer me, because obviously discrete PMs and emails will get you nowhere.

"Bushing's encounter with Nintendo"?

If they think that they have to put their names in my code, then just do it.... I've no problems with it. Just search for the code name in google and they will see the REAL hacker name. I exacty remember when I released a F6 code for CoD Bo which is called "UNPATCHABLE" and now every hacker use F6 and this name. It was a big mistake -.-"
strakn, 777 just remade codes which has been already done long time ago... That sucks hard.

I read the post once on Hackmii.  I can't find it now...guess it was deleted.

Once upon a time, Bushing tried to contact Nintendo.  At first they ignored him.  Then, they got in contact with him...but he wanted to talk over email.  Instead, Nintendo stalked him, discovered his real name, address, and employer, and then had someone call him at work.

I may have a few details wrong since the post is gone.  But I do know they called his place of employment when he explicitly asked not to be contacted by phone and provided no phone numbers.

It's just the online side that I wanted to help.  But treyarch/activison didn't even acknowledge my emails so I sent a quick one to Nintendo because I didn't want to see yet another fantastic game becoming infested.

I still want access to hack offline games due to my love of it.  but I'll do anything I can to help protect the online and the gamers that play it.

I can remember reading about that.  Pretty serious stuff, too.  I even got to see a few transcripts, I think.
I saw them on Hackmii, I believe.

Nintendo really overstepped the mark with that, though.  I can only assume that they wanted to intimidate.
