I don't give a fuck one way or the other because the Switch 2 has zero good games, but exclusives in general are a fuck you to the customer, and expecting them not to return the favor and say fuck you back is silly.

i want to $100 play ocarina of time, not $1000 play it. if i could buy it on steam, i would. i'm not buying a useless console with no games for one game. if i can pirate it and play it, i will. if i can't, i won't. who cares.

It is not just irrational but IMMORAL to pay money for something you could easily take for free with no risk punishment. By engaging in irrational non-self-interested behavior you distort the true intent of the Invisible Hand of the market.

Any man who buys games instead of pirating is a dirty communist distorting the natural flow of money by giving publishers unearned handouts when they've failed to perform their end of the business.

Companies HATE when consumers pursuit record-low prices(free).

I have 20ish switch games on my steam deck and I honestly have very little desire to play them. It was more enjoyable figuring out how to play Pikmin 4 on my deck than it was playing the actual game. The the idea that somewhere a tendie is fuming at my actions makes it even more fun

Who knows, I can't understand the mentality of mindraped tendies. My best guess is they have an autistic attachment to their favorite characters and that extends to daddy goytendo. So piracy feels like 5 niggers gangbanging their favorite character on the couch while they're forced to watch, but they won't admit this in their melties because of the manchild accusations bothering them. So they moralfag instead

piracy (until they stop selling it)

emulations is not a crime. if you own a game you can use it wherever you want. just like you can play A VCD disc in your bluray player.
law doesnt force you to have a VCD player for your legal copy of a movie.
>>
Don't care. Miggers lost.
>>
>>750897142
I always found this kinda attitude to be kind of interesting. Like by this logic, entertainment products should be given away for free in poorer countries. To put it another way, these guys seem to believe that companies are obligated to do just that.
>>
>>750896996
don't care about Nintendo but stealing is for niggers
>>
>>750896996
as long as the paid version is inferior, piracy will continue.

>>750896996
Duh?

>>750896996
Nothing wrong with wanting free stuff. If I hadn't pirated all the way through GBA and PSP, all my money would have gone to Bad Bunny, beer and condoms.
>>
>>750897153
>"Good"

>>750896996
Preservation was always a mere excuse for emulating, it is not at all the goal
People who play on emulators primarily use them for piracy.
>>
>>750897153
companies are not entitled to my wallet
>>
>>750926582
Preservation was always a thing, but the vast majority of people don't give a shit about preservation. Most vocal supporters of emulation probably do care about that, but that's only because those who just want free shit aren't that vocal about their intentions.

The leeches that want free shit will always find a way, and poor people make no difference since their options were pirate the game or don't play at all. If they pirate it, they discuss it, and potentially get more invested and buy more down the road so it's actually a net positive even if they pirate. Same reason why in the early internet Japan didn't do much about anime piracy because their own research showed it was an overall benefit to the industry as it helped spread anime across the globe

At the end of the day, piracy is here to stay,
so the smartest way to make it fade away
is to treat your fans right, not squeeze them tight,
and stop charging fees for every little bite.
Build up their trust, don’t make them jump through hoops,
keep the road clear of hurdles, tolls, and loops.
Treat them well, and they’ll stick around,
and loyal fans are the best defense you’ve found.
>>
>>750926846
It's largely irrelevant in poorer countries though. Emulation isn't going to get more people to buy products. They're just gonna pirate more.
>>
>>750926957
It'll generate more discussion, more views, more fanart. Still a net positive.
>>
>>750926957
idk. emulation consoles market is getting bigger regardless if they come with roms or not.

>>750926402
