Games

This is the kind of shit that makes me want to pirate nintendo's games purely for the principle of the matter.

I have several reasons for not buying nintendo's games, from their piss-poor customer service, to threatening content creators with litigation, to actually litigating indie competitors, to cease-and-desisting fanmade mods and games, and generally treating their most dedicated fans like shit.

If it were possible to legally buy nintendo games and directly download them to my pc to play on whatever emulator I wanted, even if nintendo offered zero support for it, that might be enough to convince me to be a paying customer again. But no, nintendo has to do shit like this instead. fuck nintendo.

EDIT: I'd like to add on to the part about the cease and desisting of fanmade things, Nintendo likes to do that when they're planning on announcing their own game that these fan projects would be competition for. Project M was killed shortly before Ultimate's announcement. AM2R was killed shortly before nintendo's own Metroid 2 remake was announced. Pokemon Uranium was killed shortly before, well, one of the pokemon games was announced, I couldn't tell you which one since I stopped caring after gen 3. I'm sure there's more that I don't remember off the top of my head.

I'm sure this totally wont backfire and screw over legitimate owners due to some totally unforeseen glitch or idiocy on nintendos part.

Well there's another reason I'm going to wait to emulate the switch 2.

I’d love to see Nintendo try this in Norway! Completely and wholly illegal consumer practice. It’s incredibly hostile and would only work in countries where corporations have stronger rights than humans.

it is always ethical to pirate Nintendo stuff

If Nintendo has the power to brick your console, then do you truly own it?

This sort of shit needs to be illegal.

FTR: this thumbnail is clickbait and there is no such error screen like this à

This title has bad accessibility.

Time to Switch 2 a Steam Deck.

Just another reason to stop buying consoles. Imagine building or buying a pc for your OS to just be like, "No, we think you're pirating something. We're going to lock your system and make it entirely unusable. Enjoy your ~$1000 paperweight!"

that will just make me wait until an emulator and roms come out.

fuck nintendo.

Why are they being game nazis?

Shame, guess I'll never buy anything from them ever again. Bricking the device I own is fucked, it's none of your business what I do or don't do with it.

The Steam Deck is superior in every regard anyways.

3 months ago i was planning to buy 3 more games on my Switch and upgrade to Switch 2 when it comes out.

After the shit with the Switch 2 launch and the anti-consumer attitude, i was ok I'm buying 2 more games on Switch and only PC after.

Now i am thinking that they don't gonna see another cent from me.

Steam has the games Nintendon't. For everything else, there's emulation.

Is Nintendo mad at us? I know it's a business, but it's like they're trying to top themselves with every announcement.

This is pure speculation, the language in the t&c describes what happens now: the console and/or the account gets banned from online gaming

Easy solution: Don’t buy one. Play games on a PC. Nintendo isn’t your friend.
