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.
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.
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.
I will say, one difference between Nintendo and other game console manufacturers, is that they do innovate more and make incredibly well-polished games as far as large game developers go
But yeah, screw their Disney/Apple/WotC-esque business practices
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.
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But €70 for Mario Kart that’s approximately 8 years old and on an outdated console?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.
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!
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.
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.
I honestly don’t know how. Any non Nintendo 3D game it’s instantly super obvious. And any game at all it’s obvious if you just try to navigate a menu with it.
They make the $10 Chinese junk alternates look amazing by comparison.
Fuck Nintendo. I will never buy anything from them. They’re basically cyber terrorists; they abuse the legal system to cause chaos and make everything shittier. I wonder what terrible things they’re going to do next. They’re no longer just a run of the mill shitty corporation. They’re an advanced threat to the entire tech world and they have to be stopped at all costs.
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.
I never understand somebody just simping for a corporation like that. You can be a fan of their stuff and dislike how they run the company. Being a Mario or Zelda fan doesn’t mean you have to stick up for terrible decisions made by suits.

Yeah dumb move if true
They are just trying to maintain an image!
If I didn’t know it better I would’ve thought that was real.
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.
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.
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 say, one difference between Nintendo and other game console manufacturers, is that they do innovate more and make incredibly well-polished games as far as large game developers go

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…

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.

Ya I guess I have luck. I have 4 sets and no issues in the 3-5 years I’ve had them
I’m not just talking about the drift. The actual intended product is ludicrously imprecise out of the box.
I’ve never noticed
I honestly don’t know how. Any non Nintendo 3D game it’s instantly super obvious. And any game at all it’s obvious if you just try to navigate a menu with it.
They make the $10 Chinese junk alternates look amazing by comparison.
Well, how are they gonna pay the lawyers?

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
If you do interesting stuff, use a good VPN. But those will also have to either delete their logs (Wireguard is actually worse here) or be brave.
Or Tor…
Am I missing something with Wireguard? Isn’t it just a open source VPN software?
What’s wrong with it?
Wireguard has performance improvements at the cost of NEEDING to store client data longer.

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. 🤷
I never understand somebody just simping for a corporation like that. You can be a fan of their stuff and dislike how they run the company. Being a Mario or Zelda fan doesn’t mean you have to stick up for terrible decisions made by suits.
It’s consistent if they depend on copyright law to make money.
buy a steam deck people!!
Fuck Nintendo theyre really the only games I pirate because the rub better on other hardware and fuck Nintendo
It’s morally correct to pirate nintendo games. Always has been…
