They just got a court to agree to ban flash cards in the EU. It's time for you losers to get a job - and to pay the eBay tax if you really want an out of print classic that badly.https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2026/09/nintendo-wins-court-case-ruling-the-sale-of-switch-circumvention-devices-unlawful
>>747410572>It's time for you losers to get a jobFuck you!!!!
>your personal rights have been eroded and that's a good thing, chud
>>747410572There will be a new loophole/tech in 2 weeks.
damn that's crazy bro>*looks at hard drive with nintendo's entire library of games*fuck you gon do, tendo?
>>747410727>I have the right to steal shit because I just do, okay?!The funniest part is the guy ended up paying $2 million for an $80 cartridge. So much for piracy saving money
>>747410572When will Europe ban itself?
what's the point of these cards?
>>747410572They're not banned, retard.They're just not allowed to have a EU domain that sells them.You can still fucking buy them.
>>747410915To allow people to steal from Nintendo and fund Russian terrorism
they're welcome to come and take it
>>747410968but why them specifically couldn't you just use an SD card?
>>747410801Imagine actually defending this shit. You can use your computer and smart phone to run illegally obtained software as well. Would you support making those illegal, you contrarian retard?
>>747410801>you can't make backups>btw 3ds and switch games are starting to dieretard. it's kinda funny because there's a real chance that game key carts end up outliving some physical switch 2 games since it's gonna have the same flash memory issues that 3ds and switch 1 games do.
>>747411083I guess you don't have to hack your device first
>>747411282wait really? oh shit I should buy one of these before they get banned.
>>747410727Acting like stopping piracy is "infringing on your human rights" is the reason why piracy and unlicensed emulation are both going to shit in the first place, because literal shitheads on the Internet have gotten too cocky and too consumed in their hate towards Nintendo
>>747410572Good, /v/rowns in suicide watch

>>747411518The hatred towards Nintendo is honestly justified. Enjoy your 30% consumer appreciation discount on left over Switch 1 games, accessories, and Amiibos. One of the best modern examples of piracy being a service issue.
>>747410572HAHAHA YES no one will ever own games ever again, thanks nintendo!
>>747411818Nintendo owns the games.
>>747411873who let sony's lawyer on /v/?
>>747410572...were flash cards really that much of a problem?Most hacked Switch I've seen loaded games directly in the hard drive, few bothered with flash cards.
>>747411801>I'm going to chimp out on the Internet by broadcasting every-fucking-where how much I pirate and emulate Nintendo games because...>I can't afford Switch games since I'm underage or a neetlike I said modern pirates are literal shitheads
>>747410572>This ruling follows a similar one against Dutch retailers selling "R4 cards" back in 2010. The same court ruled that those cards, designed for Nintendo DS, enabled piracy and their sale was therefore prohibited. Do you have any idea how easy it is to buy R4 cards for the DS in Europe?
>>747410572inb4 they raise the price of carts another ten bucks next yearand the year after thatand the year after thatdon't forget to sign into your account to use your cuck cards
>>747412043If someone refuses to buy an overpriced product, that doesn't mean they're a neet or underage. Not buying the $1,000 Apple Monitor stand is justified because you can get something just as good for much cheaper.Namebrand numbskulls keep thinking that the Nintendo logo on the box means it's worth more because they're cattle that were groomed into brand loyalty. But no, Mario Odyssey or BotW are not worth more than every other big non Nintendo release of 2017 combined.
>>747412043As opposed to ancient pirates?
Somewhere there's a chad who has a shelf of brand-new games still wrapped in plastic. He "pirates" all of these games that he owns and plays them on the flashcard. Years down the line, he sells new condition games for more than what he paid for.
>>747412198FE cart is already 10 bucks more than the digital edition. pay the cuck tax.
my cyclods evolution still werks
NINTENDO ANTI-PIRACYWELCOME
>>747410727Chuds are overwhemingly anti-piracy though
>he believes people who pirate its because they can't afford itretarded bootlicker
>a couple months ago, pakis living in Europe were spamming /v/eddit claiming themselves to be gods because nintendo was forced to do 1 pro-consumer thing in a century>now thisConfirmed xhem will never be women?
>>747412043>like I said modern pirates are literal shitheadsnta but why do you people justify shit like Fire red&Leaf green when its easily available with a click of a website or phone app? like i can think of a million+ things to do with 20$'s than buying an already free and widely available game. it just seems to me its nothing more than a thing that exposes nintendofags as contrarians who only started talking about once it rereleased on their shillsole, and its even more stupider with the whole excuse of why people buy it "It will get people into it" is the dumbest shit i've ever heard, they've had 20 years+ to get into it which just shows "normies" are just as lazy as the pirates they proclaim to hate.
YOU WAN PRAY OLD GEEMUPAY 800 DORRAHCANNOT SAVU BECAUSE BATTELY ON CART BURNED OUT
>>747412485Not my problem, I haven't played a FE game since Awakening. FEgoyim deserve even less.
>>747412665$20 is a massive discount
>>747411801>One of the best modern examples of piracy being a service issue.>Famously said by the platform with the most piracyHmmm...
>>747412398>>747412665>If someone refuses to buy an overpriced product>nta but why do you people justify shit like Fire red&Leaf green when its easily available with a click of a website or phone app? like i can think of a million+ things to do with 20$'s than buying an already free and widely available game. Videogames of any kind are cheap as hell regardless they cost 20, 60 or 80 bucks. If you call any videogames "overpriced" then you two should reconsider your life priorities.There is also nothing that stops from pirating games but both of you missed the point that modern pirates should shut the hell up and just download the games off the Internet instead of virtue-signaling piracy.
>>747412953PC gaming has gotten astronomically worse since Gaben made that quote. It was made at a time where Steam sales were 90% off and you had random flash sales where a $60 game was $2. Steam Sales haven't been good in like 10 years but they're still held in high regard because back then PC games were almost always under $10 on sale and often sub $5.
>>747413097when games come in alpha state and cut in parts to be sold as DLC later doesnt matter if its 20 60 or 80 . they are overpricefuck off jew
Awww, the poor little pirates...
>>747410572You don't even need a flash cart if you have an early revision Switch.
>>747412902>WELL ITS EXPENSIVE ON ETSY OR EBAY SO IT ALLOWS GOYTENDO TO RESELL IT TO YOU FOR 20$s FOR THE "GENUINE EXPERIENCE" nigga just emulate it, it's not hard and you don't need a fucking gameboy cartridge to enjoy an old pokemon, i can literally find an easy site that lets you play Fire red or leaf green without having to spend 20$s for it, It just shows you retards are lazily dedicated for something extremely retarded you'd probably ditch after an hour, just like those people who buy those psp, just for them to collect dust.
>>747411083It took a long time to get CFW for the 3DS, tricking the system with a fake cartridge was the only solution for piracy until then.
>>747413340>i can literally find an easy site that lets you play Fire red or leaf greenlink it so I can forward them to Nintendo's legal department
pirate sisters...
>>747411518rope yourself already. my hardware my choice
>>747413097>If you call any videogames "overpriced"Not any of those anons so maybe I'm missing the point also. But i think this is such a retarded idea I see parroted a lot. And I think it comes down to how people value a dollar. People have this missguided opinion that the solution to not feeling ripped off by something is just to have so much money that you don't care you were just ripped off but all that is really saying is >well you're right you're getting ripped off but you're poor so stop pointing it outwhat's the point of saying it? if i made a shit game and asked for $80 and my response to people saying I was crazy for pricing it as such was Hey buddy if $120 for my 2 hour game is too much maybe you should get your life in order.This has to be a logical fallacy I'm too retarded to remember the name of becasue it's just such a bad faith.
>>747413272My point still stands that you're either underage, a neet or worse a third-world scum if you consider any single videogame to be "overpriced".
>>747413502i aint paying to test your shit gamefuck off jew
The piracy concern trolling that plagues this board is so unfunny it hurts. He puts in no effort whatsoever and you retards still eat it up every time.
>>747413492It still doesn't change the fact that modern pirates deserve their current fate because they couldn't shut up about how they were unable to spend money on a videogame for whatever reason instead of downloading in silence.The joys of social media making niggers like yourself ruin piracy and unlicensed emulation for everyone else.
>>747410572>It's time for you losers to get a job Got one, I own 325 Switch games.But power cycling them every 6-12 months so they don't blank is tedious. I'm entitled to backups for when (not if) they start failing
>>747413502>third-world scum>not living in an israel colony panopticon where my women are constantly brainfried by SSRIs and expressing the wrong opinion or collecting free rainwater from the sky can land me in jail or bankruptcy is being "scum"get help anon
>>747413662This dude is so angry that his friends at Nintendo don’t make money when people pirate their games. I hope miyamoto sees this unc.
>>747413662>they couldn't shut up about how they were unable to spend money on a videogame for whatever reason instead of downloading in silence.Or openly bragging. Like that Bowser guy.
>>747412398Whether something is "overpriced" does depend on your income level. There's no functional difference between a $20 video game and an $80 video game. It is a fraction or a fraction of a fraction of a percent of your income.
>>747413778unlockable bootloaders should be mandatory on anything with more than 256 MB of RAM
>>747413662yea that's fair nintendos crack down is can largely be blamed on the people who advertised playing BOTW and TOTK really we're lucky they didn't go this hard on dolphin but you're right antagonizing Nintendo caused them to start cracking down.Fair. Personally I'm good. I'm happy with emulation stopping at ps2 and gamecube.
>>747413416>satirical posts Nah but i would rather keep them to myself so you guys can consoom the next nintendo products that gets scalped from a local mcdonalds and sold on etsy
>>747413097>Videogames of any kind are cheap as hell regardless they cost 20, 60 or 80 bucks.That's not how it works, no product exists in a vacuum. The $1,000 monitor stand isn't cheap when the $20 monitor stand exists. The $70 Blood of the Dawnwalker is not cheap when the $10 Witcher 3 complete edition exists. Products are in direct competition with each other, the entire Chinese economy relies on undercutting other similar products so people compare them and think that the value of the cheaper product is better. The problem is that video games have stagnated so 12 year old games like Witcher 3 still hold up and they're dirt cheap because they're old. But Nintendo didn't get the memo, their 9 year old games are still $60 or with this current sale, $42 for Odyssey or BotW and BotW is also on Switch 2 for $70 with no DLC included. That's a service issue.
>>747411801>30% off on old games but not the new oneShould have called another timed sale
>>747413938>I'm happy with emulation stopping at ps2 and gamecube.i would guess anything worth playing at ps3 or wii can also be emulateddunno my wii got a HD to play pirated games on iti should replay eternal darkness
>>747413854That's the exact train of thought that leads lottery winners back to poverty. You really don't have to burn money for no reason and get scammed by corporations. If you refuse to buy a $10 bottle of water at a venue, that's not because you're poor. It's because that's a ripoff.
>>747414004The same tendies call the company that charges $60 for a 12 year old game consumer friendly btw
>>747410572I have a job and pirate everything. I will continue to pirate everything, and you will cope and seethe impotently lmao
>>747413502If you want to play doa6 with all the costumes you need to shill out like $600... for a fighting game
>>747413097>There is also nothing that stops from pirating games but both of you missed the point that modern pirates should shut the hell up and just download the games off the Internet instead of virtue-signaling piracyare you sure emulating allowed? since there retards like you targeting old pirating sites cause nigtendo didn't get 34.20$s honestly i wouldn't have a problem if you monkeys weren't so prevalent in trying to get nintendo to C&D every emulation site, thoughbeit patreon or just using the funds to keep their sites up.also you people C&D shit cause you don't like other things using their copyright Tm despite it not hurting you in the slightest, just like that retard who went on a report streak just to get steam to remove a bunch of nintendo models.
>>747413854so if you can't buy my shit you are poor right?i'll sell you a box of my shit for 50 bucksor are you too poor to afford my piss and shit?
>>747414004I say you're a little bitch for trying too hard to explain why you can't spend such little amount of money on a videogame meant to last, regardless it's 80 or 20 bucks.And it's the reason why both piracy and emulation have been going to hell as of late, because of little bitches like yourself who need to virtue-signal how much of a broke nigger you are that want to justify piracy instead of just pirating the game and shut up about it.
I thought Nintendo games and consoles were something you could own? What's with all these DRM restrictions that don't even allow you to use flash carts?
>>747414728Of course you can. Just don't use them to emulate or pirate games.Simple concept, right?
>>747414591It costs $16,000 to buy all the DLC for train simulator. Are you a poorfag if you don't buy all the DLC for that game or are you sensible because that's a complete ripoff? If you like getting fucked in the ass because you're a faggot then that's fine. Keep letting corporations rail you, but you're talking to people that aren't fags. We don't want to be fucked in the ass, in fact we try to avoid it and you seem upset that people are trying to help other people not get fucked in the ass. Your argument is basically "stop trying to make it so other people aren't getting fucked in the ass like me! If i'm getting fucked in the ass, everyone should be getting fucked in the ass too!".
>>747410572im going to hack my switch 1 fuck nintendo
>>747414842>when Nintendo makes their own emulation machine: :l>When someone that isn't nintendo makes an emulation machine: >:Ceach time a game gets repurchased a jew, jumps up in glee.
>>747412398>A monitor stand is as interchangable as a video game.No Pikmin clone is anywhere near as good as Pikmin, Tinykin is the only one I could bother to finish.
>>747414842But I own my PC, and can pirate and emulate games to my heart's content.
>>747414931I wasn't aware it costs 16k bucks to purchase a Nintendo game on Switch. Must suck to be in a third-world country I guess.It's pretty funny how it's pretty much only Nintendo games that force little bitches like yourself to tell everyone on the Internet (aka social media, youtube, twitter, etc) about their pirate lifestyle instead of keeping things on the down low
>>747415350I have brought up multiple non Nintendo examples and talked about the industry at large and you're still throwing a hissy fit because some people attacked your favorite company on social media.Seek help. Legitimately.
>>747415495Anon, you're not gonna get through to him. I talked to this guy last night, and he said he hates PC gaming because of DRM. But get this, he accused GOG games of all having DRM because you have to own a computer to download the installers.He's not all there.
>none of this affects you if you simply emulate>retard trying to profit off this gets slammed>people care because they are faggots for him I guess? I salute Nintendo and I can still emulate Pokemon Pinball later if I feel like it. But I'm probably playing Star Fox Adventures on NSO.
It's going to be hilarious in 20 years when corporations have removed all trace of games and game libraries they want removed and faggots come begging piracy archive chads for help
The chinks will still make them and people will still smuggle them in. No one cares.
>>747415625Nah, the console cattle will probably just beg for 90 dollar remakes of the games, complete with censorship and UE5 graphics and extra easy mode difficulties, since even Ocarina of Time is too difficult for these guys.
>>747415495You're the one who should seek help, you're justifying your miserable poor life and scums like yourself are actively ruining the piracy and emulation scene since they keep trying to justify how much videogames in general are too expensive despite how cheap they actually are (for actual human beings, not rejects of society or third-worlders).
>>747415785>scums like yourself are actively ruining the piracy and emulation scene You hate piracy and emulation, since it might hurt Nintendo's bottom line. Piss off with your concern trolling.
>>747415785>scumsESL alert. No wonder you have a third world mindset.
>>747415860>Piss off with your concern trolling.Modern pirates only have to blame themselves for their shitty attitude, and thus have reaped what they sow, as well as modern emulator devs like the Yuzu ones for thinking it was a good idea to put telemetry in their software.You were warned and be decided that parroting a Bleem case from the 1990's was a protection charm against possible consequences of your brazen and cavalier pirate attitude.
>>747410572People actively trying to make money off of piracy are the reckless retards who will fuck it up for everybody by bringing the corpo hammer down and having them bribe governments into draconian overreach, so fuck 'em.
I'm pretty sure they're figuring out making the consoles $500-$1000 and too advanced for a chinkheld to run is enough to fix the piracy problem.
>>747415606They probably have no idea how PC gaming works to be fair, so they assume it's the same as console ecosystems.
>>747410572tendies trying way too hard
>>747416113But you hate all piracy. You've never liked it from the start. This spiel against "muh modern pirates" is thus shallow and performative.
Still won't make me buy a shitty tablet with no games.
>>747416113you can't stop piracy lmao, taking down those emulators did nothing. it's chopping the head off a hydra. banning flash cards just means people will pirate off of nintendo hardware meaning nintendo gets less money from console sales.
>>747416287I played plenty of pirated games on the computer while you were still sleeping inside your dad's nut-sacks, the difference back then is that I didn't grow up on social media and the need to tell every random stranger on the Internet or outside how much I pirated shit simply because my underage ass was unable to afford all of that.
>>747416489>taking down those emulators did nothing. it's chopping the head off a hydraA good coping mechanism that is blatantly ignoring the issues at hand (considering the state of the unlicensed emulation scene and its devs) but I can't say modern pirates are a smart bunch
>>747416514>the difference back then is that I didn't grow up on social media and the need to tell every random stranger on the Internet or outside how much I pirated shit And yet you're doing that right now, as if to gloat and lord it over people. VERY intriguing.
>>747416514stop larping nerd, everyone talked about emulating snes games on gamefaqs all the time. everyone talked about psp piracy all the time too. even wii piracy was the same.
>>747416685boy the Internet sure remained the same wild west from the 2000's, absolutely no harder surveillance and tighter control on internet domains
>nintendo wins againfunny guy
>>747416852NO YOU CANT DO THAT
>>747416895no one is safe
>>747416895you heard me?NO ONEEEE
>>747416804there was a scare when the megapocalypse happened but nothing really changed in the end. piracy is still rampant, as long as people can continue to make money off roms and pirated content, they will continue to host it.
>>747416514You are ESL as fuck and I can smell your Calcutta stench from here
>>747417053>>747416983>>747416852My man. Any games you'd recommend? Been thinking of expanding my library personally.
Piracy is when you distribute or sell a copy of something you don't have permission to redistribute or sell.Playing video games you downloaded for free is not piracy and conflating the two is going to bring the hammer down on us all.This whole "piracy is legally and morally justified because muh licenses" shit is going to backfire and get the whole thing shut down.Smug retards are going to fuck us all AGAIN
>>747417338i started tenchu and are enjoying it more than i expected (i remember hating how little i could see infront of me when i pirated it as a kid)same shit with silent hillnightmare creatures was always one of my favorites as a kid so you could play that too
>>747415735I mean, 20 years from now, that all will probably be the best possible outcome and require begging, because the current reality will be so so much worse
>>747417053That's not a very good PS1 collection just so you know. Do you even have a full terabyte?
>>747417561>Playing video games you downloaded for free is not piracy Stop talking about things you don't understand.
>>747410572They can try and do everything to stop this, but piracy and flash cart will always exist. Japan cant do shit on the chinese.
>>747417338nta but you should play games like luminese live
>>747417656>Do you even have a full terabyte?you mean free or of ps1 games? if its the latter nonah. i was just downloading stuff i was going to play sooni wasn't going to download fighting games or racing games for examplethe idea was to replay things for youtube and to remember them , and play franchises i skipped as a kid for whatever reason
>>747410572flash cards come out years after the actual CFW has been cracked. its the low IQ solution.
>>747411801I finally caved and bought a switch 2. I was considering getting a legal copy of mario kart 8 to play online. I'll only do it If I can get 30% off the bundle with dlc.
