-It's a big win for the elderly and out of shape who otherwise would not be getting that exercise and fresh air at all. I have a friend who's Aunt has a heart problem and apperently otherwise wouldn't be unable to bike without an e-bike.

-It brings many new people into the orbit of biking that otherwise wouldn't. The more bikers the more demand for good bike infrastructure, and the fewer cars on the road, and the more attractive biking becomes as a means of transport in a virtuous cycle. This could be huge.

Though I do worry about a few things:

-I think with its battery an e-bike is significantly more of an issue when people do stupid things like throw bikes in rivers/lakes/ponds. Even if this weren't common in places it still needs a good end of life for recycling.

-I do think maybe some people will be so used to an e-bike smoothing out the ride that they will never go to a full bike, but this may be a relatively low number (e.g. many people choose to bike over driving because they want to exercise)

-Many people on e-bikes in my area are a bit of a menace. Because it takes no effort to use, people fly around at max speed (well above the limit posted on our bike paths) and e-bikes are heavy; if someone gets hit it might seriously injure them. I think it may end up giving them a bad reputation if they aren't managed well.

If you ever do rent a car, make sure to take a good video around the car, of the roof, and the underside and inside for good measure.

There are many interesting points in this video for me but most saliently:

-Nintendo is not as litigious as it could be given how many possible infringements it could potentially persue

-It is well aware that it loses fan goodwill whenever it shuts down some innocent fangame, but the way that patent and copyright law is written it is apperently a significant risk diluting their brand if they don't take actions to protect it, so it is a balancing act they have to calculate

-Sony's backing of Palworld is the particularly alarming part for Nintendo that is likely spurring them into action in this case

This isn't a defense of Nintendo, but I think it's interesting to see some deeper systematic reasons for why they do what they do

Most of the comments seem to focus on the effect of their policies on smaller scale startups and entrepreneurs, which may certainly be a problem to adress, but as a consumer I see the EU at least taking some action on issues I care about.
