The list of reasons why I refuse to buy Nintendo products is getting pretty hefty at this point.
What else?
Well there’s the fact that they’re selling switch release titles for full price 7 years later
If they can they will, it’s how supply and demand works. It wouldn’t work if people stopped paying so much for old games.
Yeah I mean that’s literally what the original guy said. This is a reason not to buy their products.
Is it still supply and demand when the supply is infinite?
Yes, if there’s no demand there would be no point in making the supply (the game)
I’m sure something else will eventually come along. The only way to stop emulators from existing is to not have a system at all. I.e., if Nintendo were to stop making video game hardware, then there would be no new emulators except for ones developed for previous/existing hardware.
Ryujinx hasn’t gone anywhere.
It probably will soon. They have a Patreon and also use
prod.keys
to decrypt games, and now Nintendo knows they can succeed on forcing settlements over this.You have to use prod.keys, don’t you? There shouldn’t be anything illegal about using prod.keys as long as you don’t distribute the file.
If these guys were making money off their emulator then it’s not surprising in the least that Nintendo gutted them.
Three trick to being a parasite is that you can’t attract the hosts attention in any way. If you start eating the hosts food they goanna swat you.
What kinda fucken bootlicky head-ass take is that?
It’s just how the world works mate. Call me names all you like but any company is going to sue you if you start making money off their IP.
Not really. I run a smaller emulation project (based out of Canada and have paid my fair share in preemptive lawyers who have all told me despite taking literally zero donations, the not for profit I set up can be can be sued for $$$ per player/download I get
Yeah but you don’t have money to sue for
I’m really on the fence now on buying a console in the future. I’ve always bought the latest iteration and multiple games from Nintendo.
But they are turning into some lawyered slimy multi billion corporation feeding the orphan crushing machine.
If they don’t operate with ethics, then neither should I.
