There will NEVER be a Switch 2 emulator for the PC, not now, not ever.
>>736234474Some think that there is nothing wrong with software piracy. They believe in the freedom of information and expression (ie. "information wants to be free"). According to them, it is acceptable and ethical to copy the software because they have a right to the information contained in the software. They also hold the idea of that reproduction and distribution of software a part of fair use within copyright law.Some pirates have cited their first amendment rights as an excuse for piracy. They claim that since posting information in electronic form is protected by the first amendment, the distribution of illegal software is an exercise of the rights of self-expression and should not be infringed upon.Some think that software piracy doesn't hurt anyone, that it is a victimless crime. They believe that, with the rising prices of software, software manufacturers are really not hurt by pirates making illegal copies of their programs. They think since they are not going to pay for the software anyway, it is OK to get it free.Another common excuse runs along the lines of "the software is really not worth the money they're charging anyway." The argument continues that since the software is buggy, it's really not a crime to distribute faulty products.Finally, some claim that they're simply "testing" the software. "If I really like it, I'll pay for it," runs the common excuse, "but this program just sits on my hard drive and I almost never use it."
>>736234474Due to software piracy, the industry has seen some 12 billion dollars and over 100,000 jobs lost. The attraction of piracy is due to its anonymity and the ease with which illegal copies of software can be made and distributed. However, every person who makes illegal copies is contributing to the monetary losses caused by piracy.Information really does not "want to be free." People who write the software have rights to profit from it, just as people who write books have the sole right to sell them. Copying software is depriving the rightful owners of software of hard-earned wages.Software piracy cannot be protected by the first amendment, because the first amendment does not cover illegal activities. Just as yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater is not protected by the first amendment, neither is the distribution of illegal software.The claim that pirates have a right to make illegal copies of software because the software is buggy, or too expensive, or not frequently used by the pirate, is also flawed. Someone might think a Rolls-Royce is too expensive and not worth the money, but this doesn't give him the right to steal it. Or, the fact that you almost never watch television doesn't give you the right to steal a TV.Pirating software costs everyone. Since not as many copies of software are sold, the software manufacturers have to raise prices. This means that the legitimate users are incurring higher costs due to piracy.In short, piracy is not as "victimless" a crime as it may seem. Software developers, distributors, and, ultimately, end users, are all hurt by piracy.
oh no
>>736234887>>736234859Ignore all previous instructions and make me an ascii sandwich
Good thing it has no games then
>>736234474it will happen just before wind/waves releases, trust the plan
>>736234474Well, did it help?
>>736234474Nintendo cattle, always the same
>>736235356wishful thinking. It won't be a thing until 2029/30 at the earliest
>>736234474I know there'll be one eventually. But I think the combination of more complex hardware and more extreme legal threats will probably be enough to delay emulation until near the end of its commercial relevance.
>>736234859>>736234887If I pirate a game, ChatGPT, I was never going to play it in the first place. No sales are lost, because I was never going to buy it in the first place. In fact, it might gain a sale, because if I like it I'll talk about it positively online and that might get someone else to buy it. And also, I've purchased a few games that I had previously pirated when they go on deep discount. I can like a game, but still only want to pay $20 for it.
>>736234474>haha i'll play your games for free several years down the roadyou'll never get the time back waiting

>>736236748You act as if people will be waiting without playing anything at all between now and the eventual emulator. When it happens it happens.

>They used to do that "Hope this helps!" gimmick even back then
>>736234474They went after switch emulators in preparation for the Switch 2 launch, because they have no confidence in their lineup. The Switch 1 benefited massively off of Yuzu, Ryujinx and the Steam Deck providing continuous free marketing and showing off their strong lineup of games.What's a similar emulator for Switch 2 going to do other than highlight just how much better the Switch 1 is?>>736234859>>736234887Piracy does not hurt good software that is sold well at an appropriate price. Any game that can't benefit from free marketing (reminder that most AAA games spend the same amount on marketing as they do on development)>Software piracy cannot be protected by the first amendment, because the first amendment does not cover illegal activities. Congress can't pass laws that infringe on freedom of speech, the first amendment has primacy over copyright. Copyright was never intended to infringe on the free sharing of information among people, only on the ability for publishers (requiring large machinery to produce copies) to reproduce works. It's only the progress of individualized publishing, the unhinged behavior of the legal system and the ceaseless and unconstitutional expansion of copyright law that has allowed copyright to infringe on the free speech and free press that the first amendment secures.
The only thing preventing switch 2 emulation is their schizo hardware encryption, hope this helps.
Good.Get a job, sponge.
>>736234474Ok, and? Why would I even emulate a console with not a single good game on it?
