I think I'm getting a Lenovo Legion instead of a Switch 2. Fuck Nintendo lol.
I'm half expecting the win to be them sending like a teenager to jail for copying a ROM of a game that isn't sold anymore.
What games?
All i see is digital files with strings of code characters which can be copied infinitely without altering, destroying or moving the original.
To me all software is foss by nature some is just harder to find then sm else. i wont accept any other reality.
Next they are going to claim i cant express an original idea just because someone else i never met had the idea first and filled some paperwork. Effectively taking sole ownership of intellect. Oh wait.
Like Nintendo cares for the "entire game industry"; if anything, they just want to become it.
Emulators for Me but not for Thee....
Fuck 'em.
Honestly, suing pirates is like kicking a tree to prove it’s still alive, it doesn't change the game. Piracy isn’t the villain here; it’s practically part of the success story.
I wonder what Nintendo's annual legal budget is, and how much they could expand their market and reduce piracy if they spent half of that on supporting more platforms.
Not my games industry.
Significant in so far as I no longer need to worry about switch banned i guess… kinda a you can’t fire me I quit situation lol
