Pony Games

Pony Games was an infamous video game company that lasted from 1991 to 1998. They weren't infamous for their content, which was massively well received by critics, but rather for their response to fan software, fanart, and fanfictions.

Relationship with Nintendo
Pony Games was well sided with Sega and Sony. This was in part due to the company's hatred of Nintendo. Mere months before the company was formed, the founder Michael Kitz Borben (November 13, 1939 - January 2, 2001), attempted to import Super Famicoms from Japan and sell them under his branding, Nintindo, alongside Super Famicom carts and accessories. Nintendo of Japan sent a cease and desist order to Broben, resulting in him to travel to Japan, and attempt to murder Hiroshi Yamauchi, then president of Nintendo, where he lived for 16 months, before getting kicked out of the country.

Borben expressed extreme distaste with the Nintendo 64, claiming it was an "obsolete piece of shit", and briefly lived in Europe, where he bought all the Nintendo 64 hardware and software and destroyed them, he was kicked out within 5 days of arrival.

Response to fans
Borben was positive to fans that didn't make fan games, and/or featured his properties with Nintendo properties. He murdered fan game developers, and fans that made his characters appear with Nintendo characters. This was one of the reasons that he put a registration forum on the PC version of Warlords, he put a console selection on the registration forum so he could swat people who owned Nintendo hardware.

Closure
In December, 1997, co-founder Jeremy Alhiti (born March 23, 1941) left the company to become a puppeteer, so Mike Yozaki (born July 17, 1960) took his place, much to Borben's dismay. Borben then planned to assassinate everyone who worked there, on May, 1998, he shot and killed 14 out of the 19 employees before being placed in jail, where Borben resided until his death from cancer in 2001.
