I think they received some warning from Nintendo, or their negotiation broken off. This is in good faith to other legal entities that have signed contracts and use game works legitimately, and Nintendo has no reason to give special treatment to RTA in Japan on the grounds of charity. As we confirmed at the beginning, RTA in Japan is a legal entity, so it is not subject to Nintendo’s guidelines, which many users have pointed out.
