    I know the ‘I bought the games beforehand!’ crowd will come out of of the woodwork real quick here, but they are of course trying to stop software that’s mainly used for piracy. At least wait until their stuff is off the shelves before you emulate it to ‘perserve’ it. There is no need to be this salty about it.

      Stopping software mainly used for piracy has equated to the inability to do what you like with what you rightfully purchase

      A) He didn’t pirate anything. Just drew a picture of a game on a piece of cardboard.

      B) It didn’t actually happen anyway.

        OP commented about Yuzu alongside the image, it’s part of the reactionary ‘Nintendo = bad’ memes

          In nintendos defense, they’re perfectly fine taking away your ability to emulate 30 year old games they don’t give a shit about too, just for a little more money. Usually, companies rely on good will with their customers to survive, apparently nintendo doesn’t think they need that anymore.

            Other than making games that people like, I’m struggling to think of things Nintendo has done to foster goodwill.

          This meme is not new calling it reactionary is funny. Speaking of funny, Nintendo has previously employed private investigators to investigate and stalk modders so they could sue them better. This is an old meme for a old problem.

    I saw a lot of cool Nintendo Lego creations recently at a convention. Nothing had Nintendo names. Instead of Goomba, it was named “angry mushroom” and stuff like that.

    Also Disney once told a family no multiple times regarding putting Spider-Man on their dead child’s tombstone.

    Fuck these corporations.

      This is one of those situations where it’s better to ask forgiveness than permission. Even the most cold-hearted corporate ghoul is going to understand the cost/benefit of going after that family isn’t remotely worth it.

      Yeah, the lawyers are going to say “no”. But even if they’re stupid enough to sue: some suit that isn’t a moron is going to tell them to drop it during the ensuing PR nightmare, and the family will be swimming in donations.

        Well the reason it is like this, is because the lawyers that get to decide are “only doing their job” and can blame the policy. The ones responsible for policy are just slaves to the megacorp automaton machine that continues to not regard morals or ethics or laws in its hunger for profit. The one responsible for this mess is a machine where you can replace any or even all individuals and it will still continue to globally absorb value and eat anyone in its way. We nurture and cheer these machines on because they give us “profit” when in fact it gives only some profits to specific people that hoard it in Panama. I am very against these entities of destruction, but targeting any individual human is never going to help, and we probably can’t stop them without actually using politics. Except all available options in politics all want to and are praised for nurturing these entities because they bring illusory cash flow to the region

      Worked in retail awhile back. Kept having glass shit fall off displays and ends. It wasn’t TOO often, just enough to be an annoyance. They were stacking glass product on top of one another. I explained why this was a problem; they didn’t care. Some time later I came back to the bosses with an argument:

      This is how much we’re charging for the product.

      This is how much I make per hour.

      Cleanup of said broken product takes X time.

      This is how much I make, or Y.

      Which means a single broken product that breaks costs you Z, multiplied by the number of times it happens, plus the cost of the product itself.

      This was what got their attention. These people usually aren’t human, they’re sociopaths. Remember that.

      I’m in Thailand and knockoff Disney stuff (and Legos) are pretty normal. And it’s nice. The kids buying them have to deal with seeing their ads plastered all over town, so it’s nice there are versions they can buy. I just wish they were so shitty quality and the big companies markup wasn’t so fucking insane. Lego sets pretty regularly hit $200-$300 here. There literally is no Nintendo Thailand, so game prices are pretty random based on import fees that retailers can negotiate (or sneak through).

      The nice thing is no one gives a shit about piracy. No risks really.

      You’re still buying Nintendo hardware.

      Honestly, I stopped using Nintendo because of all the joycon issues, the fact they’ve been mainly just remaking the same games for 30 years and they screwed Wii u customers. You need to re buy the same games again.

      On Wii u, not sure if this changed, but if you broke the main controller, you basically couldn’t replace it.

      They have a better rep than Microsoft and Sony , but I’m not convinced they deserve it

      No idea why anyone would buy anything except a steamdeck these days

        Steal that too, and if you wanna move the posts again consider emulation.
