This had a great impact on many developers because, no matter how high the demand is for your game, they were limited in production that Nintendo would allow them to, so it was decided that the Nintendo true how much profit would allow the developer to do with this physical limitation.
 

Security breach

 
It would not be long before some obscure companies wanted to break this security feature. The outside pirate market was enormous. Multicarts were everywhere, and some developers in America wanted to break free from the "seal of quality" mold. A company called Color Dreams discovered how to bypass the lock chip in 1989; sending a basket of peak voltage to deactivate the lock chip.
 
Color Dreams gaming revenue and through a legal vacuum (ignoring the chip, they do not infringe the copyright in the Nintendo patent) were allowed to do so. Retailers, however, Nintendo has quietly threatening not take the color dreams games, and they succeeded. Dream color changed its name to the tree of wisdom and started producing games on the religious theme as pricking the moral rule of commodity production of Nintendo games.
