They are just trying to maintain an image!
Hahaha that got me! I legit thought this could've been a PR stunt that actually may have happened until I read the last sentence ... after which I thought it was even more likely to have happened.
If I didn't know it better I would've thought that was real.
Should turn around and sue Nintendo for facilitating the facilitation of piracy by making the consoles in the first place.
Crappy ones that they knowingly sale with faulty hardware. Of course someone tried that and they forced him into arbitration. I don't see why anyone supports that shit company anymore.
Considering the US, where they're filing the lawsuit, has just recently opened up the floodgates of corporate lobbying power thanks to SCOTUS, I don't know why anyone would want to support such a maliciously litigious company.
The subpoenas will continue until morale improves.
Because most poeple don't care and just want to play the latest $GAME_NAME_HERE?
And I mean, Nintendo has already sued people into essential slavery and nobody said shit, so I don't know what the fuck will get people's attention.
I will never ever fucking purchase a console or game of that shit company. I will always pirate and emulate.
People wouldn’t pirate so much if their prices were not so high and their console itself not so trash. If they made a decent product and decent prices, many would’ve purchased it.
But €70 for Mario Kart that’s approximately 8 years old and on an outdated console? No thanks. Not to mention them suing people and such.
Gosh, I hate that company.
It's actually 10 years old when taking the original Wii U version of Mario Kart 8 into account.
I mean, the switch is an excellent console. The only problem imo is the weak wireless strength of the joycons. That's the only issue I've had since I got mine in like 2019.
I'd still feel better owning a steam deck though
It changed gaming. The steam deck probably doesn't happen without the switch. It clearly demonstrated the market for a handheld that manages large scale 3D games with complex mechanics.
But the joycons suck at more than connectivity. Straight out of the box those joysticks are fucking terrible, and they degrade hard and fast.
Well, how are they gonna pay the lawyers?
I have a switch but its a launch model so its modded. Totk runs like crap, and my friend with a legit copy basically said "same" when I asked about it.
On yuzu I have it running at 1440p60hz, could probably bump it to 120 and having a grand ole time
I mean, their console is pretty good, and sparked the innovation of a completely new console type (with the Steam Deck and a few others following suit)
It's their prices, and more-so their business practices, that gets people to pirate. Hell, they'll pirate the great games on their hardware, but they'll pirate!
Nobody asking themselves how they got all these details of that person?
Reddit doesnt require a full name.
My guess is: Got IP Address from Reddit, asked ISP for data.
I've seen this type of thing reported so many times, seems like ISPs will give out your data willy-nilly if someone so much as looks at them funny
I used to love them. Really I did. Under iwata the company was truly something special for a while. But as with all companies, the fall from grace has been hard. I don't know a single person with a good opinion of Nintendo anymore. Even a surprising amount of irl people who are not in the know about a lot of piracy and modding stuff seem to at least know enough from recent events that Nintendo are beyond irreparably evil.
Nintendo: great games, terrible company. So yeah, I play their shit, but I don't give them any money.
I know a person who still unironically defends Nintendo and thinks they're in the right doing what they do. I consider them a lost cause. 🤷
Fuck Nintendo theyre really the only games I pirate because the rub better on other hardware and fuck Nintendo
Fuck everything about blocking the hardware and hardware mods, but if it's true that he was packaging games with it, you don't even get to any of that, because they're probably going to get every dime he has for "selling" their games.
Yeah dumb move if true
buy a steam deck people!!
It's morally correct to pirate nintendo games. Always has been...
Remember, it's always morally ok to pirate a Nintendo game.
One might even go as far as saying it's morally not okay to pay for a Nintendo game because you are in a way financing their lawyers.
I download all their shit, never play any of it though. Just like Metallica...
