Once you involve the legal department they’ll often tell you it’s not worth fighting because although you might win because you’re doing nothing wrong, you might need to fight for long enough that the cost won’t be worth the effort, see Bleem vs Sony, Bleem won, it went bankrupt regardless.
If you think Discord wants to bother fighting against Nintendo’s lawyers, that will find all kinds of technicalities to keep things going, just to protect a community that’s pretty meaningless in the grand scheme of things, while they’re considering doing an IPO, then you’re pretty naive.
