Reminder that PIRACY IS A SERVICE PROBLEM and EXCLUSIVES ARE ANTI-CONSUMERThe only reason why PC gamers are pirating and emulating Nintendo games is because of their old fashioned, anti-consumer nonsense about platform exclusivity. If Nintendo released their games on Steam for a fair price (OoT remake for $20 would be nice), without Denuvo or DRM, and with mod support and support for ultra wide, I would gladly buy their new Switch 2 games for $20 a pop. But since this isn’t an option that we have, I am forced to pirate and emulate the switch 2. The ball is in your court, Nintendo. Either leave the money on the table and waste money on litigation, or give PC gamers what we want and earn a shitload of cash and new customers. The choice is yours.
I pirate cause I'm poor nigga
>dumping will be impossible now!Remember when Switch 2 emulation would be IMPOSSIBLE for a decade?
>>751429114Funny, I pirate Switch 2 games because I have standards and refuse to buy a locked down fisher price tablet to play games that should be available on Steam for a fair price
I just want free shit.
>>751429012I pirate Nintendo games because I want Nintendo to die off, brotherNintendo needs to fuck off already and their fanbase needs to be collectively executed, if that means I can't play superior ports of their games then so be it
>>751429012>Reminder that PIRACY IS A SERVICE PROBLEM and EXCLUSIVES ARE ANTI-CONSUMERReminder this is an excuse to steal and ease their conscience.Shit could be available for $1, and you'd still pirate out of principle.
>>751429012>Put cartridge into jailbroken switch>No, I dont want to update the firmware>Transfer encrypted image from cartridge to PC>Use keys dumped from switch to decrypt the image>Start in emulatorAlthough I think people already built a cartridge port adapter via usb.The only thing that prevented cartridge dumping was getting access to the decryption keys on any switch.
>>751429365I don’t want them to die. I want them to be reborn as a PC-first game developer
I pirate because faceless suits pretending to be my friend is chapter one in the conman textbook.
>>751429405>be a rich guy>decide to watch a move at the theatre one day>Hi, I want a matinee ticket for the ne->UH SORRY SIR BUT ARE YOU AN AMC MEMBER? YOU NEED TO BUY THE AMC BOX FOR $500 AND PAY FOR THE YEARLY AMC + EXPANSION PACK SUBSCRIPTION FOR $50 ON TOP OF YOUR $80 TICKET. ALSO IF YOUR POPCORN BUCKET GETS DRIFT YOU NEED TO SPEND $100 ON A REPLACEMENT>Wow, even though I could easily afford it I won’t bother because of the principal, especially because I already have a wildly superior home theater system at home>2 seconds later, walking away from the theater>guy in a trench coat walks up to you in the parking lot and says hey man, I know how to watch that movie for free at your home theater… just go to this website>rich guy gets home, sighs to himself, furious because he’s forced into piracy because of AMC’s wildly anti-consumer tactics
>>751429012Steam has more $20 games for you right now than you can finish in your lifetime, but you're still obsessed with Nintendo. Sounds like they know what they're worth and don't have much incentive to do what you're demanding.
I pirate because it's unimaginably funny to me that Nintendo not getting a sale can genuinely drive people to tears on camera
>>751429432>access to the decryption keysBut you don't currently have that for Switch 2.
>>751429764This is NOT very bing bing wahoo of you my friend.
>>751429432Yeah, except the big flaw in your plan there chief is that the Switch 2's keys haven't actually been dumped. The current exploit doesn't provide the level of access needed to do that. In fact, you can't even play the dumps people are using on PC on an actual Switch 2. It's exactly the same situation as with the PS5, and why there'll be no dump of GTA VI unless someone else is sitting on a hypervisor exploit and doesn't need $50k.
There's a second exploit that we aren't revealing yet
>>751429551based
>>751429904>A second exploit that no jeet will use for online updootsSure
>>751429748Actually as the consumer I know what games are worth. Thats why I would literally rather die than spend $80 on some childish toy like Mario Kart World. A poorly made friendslop is like $10 and is just as fun. Nintendo should realize they are competing with low quality friendslops whenever they release a fun party game or a remake for a 30 year old N64 game. If the amount of fun I get from a shitty game like Peak is equal to OoT but with UE5 graphics, then I will pay for Peak and not pay for OoT with UE5 graphics. In fact I’ll pirate OoT but with UE5 graphics and play it for free because it isn’t available natively and isn’t appropriately priced
>>751429012>impossible>again
>>751429904I'll bite, what if their AI already detected and patched (or working on it) your second exploit?
>>751429904>wekek
>>751429432and how are going to dump the new encryption keys needed for new games? You can't update the firmware and the keys on your jailbroken Switch 2.
>>751429012>MUH PIRACY IS A SERVICE PROBLEMAgain this retarded shitskin cope, just pirate the game and be done with it
>>751430010>impossible*>*until a new exploit is found (tbd)Could be a week, could be years. Nintendo probably has dozens of Claude instances running now.
It's okay I found a second exploit with PHP on the switch 2 internet browser.
>>751429764Its just funny. Like you said, knowing a pic related out there knows that it's happening is...just funny. I legitimately feel like I'm cucking them
>>751429114>>751429221^
>>751430137No, shitskins just want shit for free. White people have higher reasons for not wanting to pay a corporation as evil as Nintendo a single cent
>>751429180Steam? What terrible standards, my policy is to pirate anything on Steam since they jack prices up for no reason and take too much money.Not to mention they have a fisher price tablet with no games and a shitty $1k box with no games
>>751429997Then why do you care about Nintendo so much? Play other games.
If piracy is a service problem then why are gog games the most pirated games.Gaben was wrong. Why would you ever pay money for something you can get just as easily for free.
>>751430250>White people have higher reasons for not wanting to pay a corporation as evil as Nintendo a single centpiracy moralfagging outs you as a tranny
>>751429012>NINTENDO EXCLUSIVES ARE ANTI-CONSUMER
>>751430253Steam is the only consumer friendly gaming platform, cope cope cope tendie>>751430260Because sometimes I feel like playing them. They could make money but choose not to, hence why I gladly pirate and emulate>>751430308Being a tendie outs you as a tranny, YWNBAW Lilith
>>751430294If piracy is easier and more convenient than just buying it then that means any paid service is worse.So you either need to improve the service or make piracy harder.Both are soilutions to a service problem in the end.
>>751430447>LilithI don't think I'm deranged enough to get this. Would you explain? Is this the new eric?
>>751430308You're white knighting for corpos on 4chan you deranged lunatic moral fag tourist
>>751429012Anti-Nintendo grifters only want Nintendo games on Steam so they can be easier for them to pirate.To pirate a Switch 2 game, one has to develop and set up a Switch 2 emulator, and then find a Switch 2 rom, and then get it to run properly.To pirate a Steam game, one only has to download it from a cracked Steam game website.You see why they're always begging Nintendo to port their games to PC?They're that lazy.
>>751430447Nintendo seems quite content with the amount of money they're making, probably as a result of not having retardedly bloated budgets like most western slop games. ~5 mil sold of dong kong bananas and they're sitting well. 5 mil of some AAA slop and they haven't broken even.
>>751430447Steam has never done anything consumer friendly.They fucking sell games for money and promote gambling
>>751429012When is GTA VI going to be available on PC?
>>751430650Does it matter?It’s just gonna be stolen anyway.
>>751429405iirc studies suggest prices that low on digital storefronts are the ONLY thing that reduces piracy in eastern european territories
>>751429180Rajesh, you do realize that declaring you play baby games is a self own thoughbeit?
>>751430475There is no case when the service is better, because with pirating you control the service. Even steam is a direct downgrade compared to pirating.
Do you mean a pirate like in the ocean?
>>751430650When India becomes a superpower.
>>751430628HAHAHAHAHAHA
>>751430650Probably around the middle of next year. 6-8 months has been the general timeframe for PC ports of GTA games. 5 took a lot longer due to the generational crossover and the fact they were never going to port the PS3/360 version to PC. However, the PC port came along just 5 months after the PS4/Xbone release.
If I gave enough of a shit, I'd pirate nintendo shit because I'm not paying stupid money to play their 20 years out of date mid games. Nintendo has yet to make anything I'd give enough of a shit about to steal.
>>751430735>Even steam is a direct downgrade compared to pirating.Millions disagree though.
>>751429012This is true, that's why the patch denies you service, fixing the problem.
>>751429012>impossibleNo, just less convenient.
>>751430554>white knighting>moral fag touristkek, you're the ones making excuses for pirating instead of just owning it
Reminder that you were supposed to post the "4th place" webm thread and your pay will be paid in half
>>751430941>so inconvenient that you need a new exploit
>>751430941There will always be more paypigs. And thats a good thing. The pigs can slop out their money so piratechads can enjoy a game without intrusive DRM, always online, forced updates, FREE.
>>751430584>he doesn't know Claudelol all you have to do is recompile your dumped game data into a game for windows. OOT is already out there running at 144 fps
I mean say what you want but five years from now, when whatever the successor for the switch 2 is out, you'll be happy you can emulate OoT since the chances of the next console being backward compatible is never guaranteed.
>>751430862They are just part of the cult.If players simply wanted to buy games online, they would be happy to buy frin Epic Game Store, too. But Steamies are a cult, and will bend over backwards to give GabeN his 30%.
>>751429012>impossibletwo weeks max
>>751430817So it's justified to pirate GTAVI now because you don't have a console but can have the game decompiled through Claude since Rockstar failed to create a content delivery system the player will accept.
>>751431056based and consoomerpilled. I only buy games I play from start to finish and have fun doing it. demos are lies.
>>751431090Good bait, but this is the wrong thread. We only accept anti-Nintendo shitposts itt.
>>751429012If Nintendo was smart, they'd pivot immediately to releasing PC ports on their own storefront. Make it so that digital games you buy on Switch 2 also net you access on your PC, and vice versa.>B-but look at Epic, it couldn't compete with Steam! Nintendo should release on steam!I'd like them to release on steam, but it's unrealistic. And let's not ignore show Epic has fucking ZERO exclusive titles people actually want. If your Nitnendo Account could be ported to their PC store, with your purchases retained - they'd do very well. Thing is, it won't happen because they're stubborn idiots.
>>751429856Cry about it
Idk man but the switch's games lineup doesnt even justify the effort to pirate their games for me atleast. Im morbidly curious about how bad metroid prime 4 is and I want to play metroid ravenous but that's it.
>>751431432So instead of making people buy their hardware AND their software, they'd only get money from the software? What would be the point?
>>751431432>If Nintendo was smart, they'd pivot immediately to releasing PC ports on their own storefront.If they dont do it soon it will be to late. Bloodborne on PC is already better than an official PC port would ever be. Even Elden Ring is locked to a shitty 60fps.
>>751431578Free games for me
>>751429012ok... are they gonna bring back smilebasic now?
>>751431578Tell me anon, has the existence of PC ports of games comepletely consumed and annihilated the sales of those same games on consoles?That's the kind of question you're asking. There will always be people buying the Nintendo hardware, who have no access or interest in a gaming PC. They're separate markets, with an overlap of people who are interested in the same game.
>>751429012Yeah nigger i dont care about your cope.If i can get it for free then why the fuck would i pay for it.Jap are right in that im commiting a crime, but they cant do jack shit about it, geg
>>751431432>I won’t buy it, it is anti-consumer to not have it on steam, I’m forced to pirate it because of your anti-consumer practices >okay it’s on steam now but it’s anti-consumer to use DRM, I’m forced to pirate it because of your anti-consumer practices >okay you removed the DRM but it’s anti-consumer to charge $60 for new games and rarely have your games go on sale, I’m forced to pirate because of your anti-consumer practices>okay it’s on sale constantly but there is no mod support or support for ultrawide, I’m forced to pirate…
>>751430628Don't forget they are pushing AI slop now too.
>>751431646In addition, if someone buys the Switch 2 hardware despite owning the same game on PC - you effectively have the Nintendo version of a Steam deck, effectively being the only true competitor to the concept other than the other niche PC handhelds.
>>751431646>They're separate marketsNot really. If I wanted to play Nintendo games, I would buy a Nintendo.But I'm a PC player, with zero interest in console games (for kids).
>>751430628Why do they keep forcing censorship and banning games?
>>751431673And has that mindset completely decimated PC sales? Oh yeah - no.
>>751431737Well buddy, that's you and not what the average population thinks. There's a lot of people who aren't interested in buying Nintendo hardware but want to play them on PC (and other platforms...) which is why they emulate.
Reminder that this Nintendo seethe dates all the way back to the Wii U era where everyone was totally convinced that Nintendo were going to bankrupt and will release their IPs on PC and other consoles. However the Switch turned out to be the fastest selling console of all time and saved Nintendo and that completely mindbroke all the PCjeets/snoys/xbots. To this day they are still seething Nintendo didn't go multiplat, but it turns out that was the right call since now both Sony and Xbox are trying to bring things back in house after realizing they actually LOSE sales and devalue the brand when going multiplat.
>>751429405let's be real, if every steam storepage had a button under the purchase one to download it for free and the drawback is that it downloads at 1mb per second only on weekends, with no steaminput and updates coming a week later... more people than ever would pirate, despite it objectively being a worse service
>>751431820>a lot of peopleI doubt that. And why wouldn't you just buy a Nintendo if you want the games?I mean, people don't play mobile games on PCs either, because that doesn't make any sense.
Are any of the Switch 2 games even worth the effort to pirate?
>>751431737Unless you're exclusively playing porn games or autism simulators, then your PC games are just as childish.
>>751429012>OoT remake for $20 would be nice), without Denuvo or DRMeven $50 with denuvo would be better than having to buy a shitty tablet.
>>751431943Imagine being so deluded into thinking people wouldn't buy Nintendo games if they were available on PC or other platforms. If that's the hill your dying on, then there's no point in even discussing with you. The entire infrastructure of Nintendo piracy and autists' spending thousands of hours creating emulators to play stuff like BOTW at 4k 120fps completely crushes your claim. Their big games would absolutely crush the competition on PC.
>>751429012Completely false actually. The vast majority of piracy happens ON PC. Nintendo selling their games from a PC storefront wouldn't solve piracy at all.You're just poor.
>>751431760No but it’s been bad for games that have been previously console exclusive. Look at a game like Spider-Man 2, cracked on day one and there are several times more people that pirated it than people that bought it on Steam. Snoy releasing their games on PC was such a disaster that they reversed their strategy and are never doing it again. Nintendo should learn from tactical errors others have made
>>751429012"Anti-consumer" and "preservation" have lost it's meaning. Pirate trannies just use whatever term to justify stealing like the broke niggers they are
>>751432069Nah, a huge chunk of those people WOULD play the official Nintendo PC ports because they're too stupid to emulate. Also, hilarious how you talk about poverty when the average gaming PC costs ten Switch 2s.Again, does the existence of piracy prevent PC games from selling millions? No. Oh yeah - those same people who spent thousand soft hours crafting emulators and PC ports in the past suddenly would have less drive to do so when those games are on Nintendo's PC storefront (with denuvo of course).You guys are pretty naive
>>751431964Simulators and MMOs are my jam, I'll admit.But it's a fact that Nintendo makes games for kids, while PC gamers are older. I seriously doubt there's almost ANY overlap in these demos. (And even the small number that there might be, can just buy both devices. It's no biggie.)>>751432046>Imagine being so deluded into thinking people wouldn't buy Nintendo games if they were available on PC or other platforms.The original argument was: "If Nintendo were smart". And the smartest thing is what they are already doing: total exclusivity.
>>751432149Imagine thinking Snoy first party titles are even remotely in the same realm as Nintendo LMFAO. Nitnendo would absolutely employ Denuvo as well (they already have a close connection with them!!)
>>751429012nintendo could have been steam
>>751432046Actually it's kinda smart for them to avoid the complete dogshit gaming platform known as PC where gamers own literly nothing they purchase. The VAST majority of piracy happens on PC from PC storefronts, thus PC storefronts are a terrible service. Why would Nintendo willingly subject themselves to such a low quality terrible service such as PC sotrefronts?
>>751432149>game>like spider-man 2snoy games on pc failed they suck
>>751432264Exclusivity made sense until any retard could reverse engineer their latest hardware and create fully functional emulators and PC ports within the year of that console's release.The reason I added "if they're smart" is because that's the only way they could adapt to this change.
>>751432280It’s just not the clientele that Nintendo wants. And it would ruin the Nintendo community. Nintendo fans are usually upbeat and thankful for hard work, PC gamers are fucking miserable cretins that will review bomb a game for not supporting random peripherals or some other minor nitpick. If you go on the Steam forums it’s filled with whining assholes and trolls. And they will just look at it as a way to get free Nintendo games mostly. Not worth it. Nintendo should stay exclusive forever
>>751432319You own nothing you purchase on console either. Btw, your 3DS and Switch 1 games all have flaws in their cartridge design that will cause them to stop working within the next few years.
>>751432225>Nah, a huge chunk of those people WOULD play the official Nintendo PC ports because they're too stupid to emulate.Facts disagree with your feelings.
>>751432384>You own nothing you purchase on console either.False.Btw, now you're asking Nintendo to not only adopt the WORST practice in gaming which is PC storefronts as proven by the amount that PC storefeonts are pirated, but you're also asking Nintendo to listen to liars such as yourself.
>>751432417The fact games sell millions on PC alongside console disproves you instantly. The Nintendo name will also multiply that. BOTW for example, would absolutely crush it.
Just say you're a pirate because you're a lazy sponge on society.
>>751432628Sure I am, what you're gonna do about it faggot
>>751432381PCfags are just literally insane copers. They spend so much money on a gaming PC just to feel hollow inside and like they’re not having fun. Then they see Nintendo fans happy as a clam with their weaker system and little exclusive games and see red: why is he having more fun than me? Why is his community more positive than mine? Why is he more grateful? I SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON THIS PC, SO WHY AM I NOT HAVING A BETTER TIME??? I know how to get back at them… I’ll just use AI to steal their games! Look tendie! I just sat in a discord following instructions and downloading GitHub projects for the last 10 hours, now I’m playing your new Zelda game at 18 FPS with graphical glitches! You mad?
>>751432583Tell us about what you own on console? Majority of your switch games are digital keys on cards. Your Snoy consoles don't even have disk drives anymore. Nitnendo deliberately designed 3DS and Switch 1 games to degrade on their cartridge as well.You cry liar, yet you have nothing to fall on.
>>751432654Pity you.
>>751432665Its because console has some great exclusives, and unlocking them from the shackles of underpowered hardware is satisfying.Nintendo releasing the PC ports themselves this gives them full control of that potentiality.
>>751432678You know the only accurate thing you said here was that Sony consoles don't have disc drives.
>>751432626No, PC is the most pirated platform from PC users themselves. This is because PC is a dogshit service that Nintendo should avoid. Remember, piracy is a service issue.
>>751429012>I am forced to pirateno, you are not forced to do anything, you are acting on your own awl, don't blame others
>>751429012>$20 a pop>Any new game, Nintendo or notGet your head out of your ass.
>>751429551Amen
>>751429012piracy is a shitskin problemmonkeys will pirate regardless of how cheap and accessible you make games and the switch 2 proves that
>>751432678>Tell us about what you own on console?My physical games and all my hardware. I don't need to ask you what launchers and games you own because I know it's nothing. I own PC games but those are from before you were born.
>>751432746Never going to happen. And no matter how much AI sloppa and internal resolution bumps you give the game you are having an inferior, unofficial, SOULLESS experience
>>751432748Go look up what's happening to 3DS games, Timmy. Its only a matter of time before the same thing happens to Switch 1. These are NOT like NES/SNES/N64 cartridges. The recent Nintendo game cards have far worse projections for longevity. You literally have to run homebrew programs to extend the lifespan of your 3DS games.
>>751432852>two more weeks
>>751432756Except those same games still sell millions, with companies like Capcom saying it's the main earner now :) if that's Capcom, then fucking NINTENDO would crush it - especially if they lock down their ecosystem.
>>751432928The fact you're too chicken shit to actually look up what's happening to them speaks leagues about your credibility in this argument lol. Cucked by Nintendo, and you'll have no library to show for it in 10 years.
>>751432839Then enjoy Switch 2 getting continually hacked, emulated and reverse engineered while Nintendo cries in anger about lost sales they could easily have mitigated.
>>751433023That’s fine, I know you’re getting an inferior experience while I get the official experience so I’m not bothered
>>751433023Yeah, something tells me the "lost sales" are a drop in the bucket compared to what they actually do sell.
>>751432931>Except those same games still sell millionsNot really. Switch 1's library alone during the 8 years on the market matches or exceeds the best selling steam games of all time, and both platforms have had piracy since day one. More sales on Nintendo platforms than Steam, less piracy on Nintendo platforms than Steam. Better service. Sorry champ, take the L.
>>751432978I don't believe you:)
>>751433023Ummm okay? And you enjoy steam getting hacked I guess? No one cares really.
>>751433076>More sales on Nintendo platforms than Steamare you a comedian? https://www.pcgamer.com/software/platforms/after-a-record-breaking-september-its-safe-to-say-steams-yearly-revenue-will-blow-past-usd20b-for-the-first-time/

Literally delusional.>>751433073A drop in the bucket compared to what they'd make of they actually tapped into the PC market properly. >>751433076Give us actual numbers then. Its insane you'd make a statement that silly.
People who make this posts just sit there screaming brown monkey nigger babble while typing it
>>751433180>revenue
>>751433173The consumers who'd buy official Nintendo PC ports in droves would care, same with the tendies who cry and bitch on social media about it. The talk about an "inferior" experience as well just indicates seethe.
>>751433190They will never go to PC because they are a console manufacturer. They want you to buy their systems and thus their games stay exclusive.This isn't rocket science.
>>751433190>I'm already playing OOT Remake with DLSS5 and faster frame rates than native on console. Same with Mario Kart World. Literally delusional.You aren’t experiencing it in the official way on official hardware. Cope.

>>751432931steam is an objectively worse service than the switch off the single fact it keeps trying to be sony by banning more and more jp gamesand at the point im supposed to go out of steam like a goyim and jump through hoops to larp as a jp buyer on a different PC storefront, may as well just get it on the jp switch instead
I feel like there's someone arguing with themselves itt.
>>751433259>The consumers who'd buy official Nintendo PCThe same consumers who pirate PC more than any other platform because PC is a dogshit service? Those consumers?
>>751429405For some people. But Steam proved that, yes, it is in fact a service issue for the vast majority of people pirating games.
>>751433302Tongue my anus nigger.
>>751433349It may seem like it but PC vegans are actually this retarded and cultish.
>>751433293>GTAV almost outsold the entire Switch 1 librarygrim...
>>751433180Why are you so proud of chinks taking over steam and everyone else dropping PC gaming like a hot potato?
>>751432069>majority of piracy happens on PC>devs like Capcom and publishers like Valve and indies like Team Cherry always report record profits, before even porting to consoles
>>751433483>steam is dead, this also means PC gaming is dying>we will force you into the closed gardens like consoles>you will suffer like us!
>>751433483chinks and japs are literally the same to me, i dont really care about your weeb Nippon worship
>>751429012>Console is "impossible" to hack>Gets hacked>"We've fixed it and it's totally secure and will never be hacked ever again">Literally every time anyone's ever said this, it's been hacked nearly-immediately because this universe has a fantastic sense of humorSuch arrogance. These people make it fun to watch the coders, reverse-engineers, etc. do their work. It never gets old watching insufferable smugness get erased from faces.
>>751429012>Reminder that PIRACY IS A SERVICE PROBLEM and EXCLUSIVES ARE ANTI-CONSUMERSony already put this to the test by putting some of their biggest exclusives on Steam this gen. PC niggers didn't bite.You just want free shit. Which is fine but don't pretend to be some moral crusader.
>>751433570You will regret this post....
>>751433473>westoids needed like 6 platforms across 3 console generations, on top of constant sales to bait copies sold with cheap shark cards to put up a fight against nintendotruly grim indeed

>>751433484Sometimes PC vegans pay actual money for unownable pixeltranny. They're not the brightest consumers.
>>751429012I remember young niggas saying it'd be impossible because it was "just a userland exploit" the hacking will continue as scheduled
>>751433662Because they were bad games that no one wanted? If Sony actually tried, the games they ported would have been stuff like Bloodborne and Demon's Souls.
>>751433708>nintendo had to count bundled games to inflate the numberslook at those top 3 sold games, all bundle slop
>>751433567Man, if only.
>>751433567>this also means PC gaming is dyingDied about 20 years ago, yes.
>>751433708GTA5 sold about 53.8 million on steam itself. You're also saying this when Mario Kart 8 was a sloppy seconds game as well, bundled with consoles for its entire lifespan.
>>751430253>Steam>Jacking up pricesRetard when making false narratives you should at least try to sound less retarded while doing so.Steam is the only platform where you can find AAA for like less than 10$ every sale.
>>751433816Shame about consoles dying since 2005 as well. Very grim
>>751430014Then a third will emerge.JFC how many times does this pattern have to repeat itself before you figure it out?These systems are *always* hackable. Literally always. There has never been an "unhacked" mainline console in any generation, ever.I will admit it's always hilarious watching people act genuinely shocked when Yet Another Hack of The Week™ happens though.
>>751433662Were any of them good tho?
>>751433859>brownoid third worlders bought a game for $5 from 2013 that runs on a toaster because otherwise they wouldn’t be able to play onlineNINTENDO THIS IS THE EVIDENCE YOU WERE LOOKING FOR! RELEASE MARIO ODYSSEY ON STEAM NOW!
SteamERPers think Nintendo wouldn't have their own launcher with DRM up the ass KEK
>>751434012How is that any different from your MK8 example?
>>751433787You're aware goi5 also got bundled constantly, right?
>>751434005Is OoT Demake, which is what OP is begging for?
>>751433751>pixeltrannyYou sure gave it a high score for a game you supposedly hate.
>>751433917If cinema was only available through digital apps, no theaters or retail presence at all, and one digital app owned 85% of the market then I would say cinema diedIf music was only available through digital apps, no retail presence at all, or concerts, and one digital app owned 85% of the music market then I would say music diedIf literature was only available through digital apps, no libraries or bookstores or retail presence at all, and one digital app owned 85% of the market then I would say literature diedNow do PC gaming.
>>751433859>estimated>by AILOL
>>751434131Better than anything Sony has made in years at least.
>>751434153Good thing that doesn't apply to PC gaming.
>>751434135What a waste of a reply
>>751431934I have purchased games I have pirated specifically because I wanted recent updates.
Claude, find me the next exploit, make no mistakes
>>751434217becasue you can pirate right?
>>751433751a PC isn't a locked down walled garden anon, I can just copy+paste the data
>>751434267because pc goyim happily gave up physical ownership almost 2 decades ago for the convenience of steam
>>751434267Not giving money to Steam makes redditors really fucking mad for some inexplicable reason
>>751429012Exclusives are pro consumer, total biscuit is dead and his ideas died with him.
>>751434360You guys did the exact same thing
>>751434336I would too. When you can't own what you purchase then the only option is piracy. Remember, piracy is a service issue.
>>751434447False.
>>751434527Sales data proves otherwise! About half your games give or take are digital :)
>>751434267>>751434360>>751434398I'm playing Starsector right now, payed for it, no steam required. So your attempt to call everyone a steam cultist seems to have fallen short.
>>751429012I mean, yeah.We are getting game bundles on sale for 50% and it's still over 50 dollars. You want me to not pirate games then don't give me bullshit
>>751434542What percent of PC games are digital?
>>751433859A sale is a sale. Cope, seethe, and dialte in the order of your choosing.
>>751434554Let's instead not discuss you. Okay?
>Reminder that PIRACY IS A SERVICE PROBLEM and EXCLUSIVES ARE ANTI-CONSUMER>The only reason why PC gamers are pirating and emulating Nintendo games is because of their old fashioned, anti-consumer nonsense about platform exclusivity.>If Nintendo released their games on Steam for a fair price (OoT remake for $20 would be nice), without Denuvo or DRM, and with mod support and support for ultra wide, I would gladly buy their new Switch 2 games for $20 a pop. But since this isn’t an option that we have, I am forced to pirate and emulate the switch 2.>The ball is in your court, Nintendo. Either leave the money on the table and waste money on litigation, or give PC gamers what we want and earn a shitload of cash and new customers. The choice is yours.
>>751434542So half of PC sales are digital then? What's the other half? You said the exact same remember.
If I was rich I would still pirate new games, at least half the time.
>>751434648Nah, I'm gonna butt in anyway.
>>751429114Poor, yet you still bought a 3xxx series GPU?
In a world where electronics will be unaffordable platform exclusivity won’t make sense. Game developers are going to have to meet players where they are. Mostly phones and computers.
Wtf is a steam cultist?
>>751429012I'd pay for some companies to lose money
>>751430447tendie? like the chicken tenders?
>>751429012I emulated the switch 2 because I can not because I feel the need to play nintendo games or I'll dieI'm NOT a potential customer, how hard is it to understand this?
>>751429012>PC gamersHuh? What's a PC gamer?
>>751435273Switch 2? What's a Switch 2? Like a light switch?
>>751430545>Is this the new eric?Nah, male-to-female transsexuals often rename themselves to Lilith, among other common names, when creating a new identity. I guess they think it sounds cool, but it's sorta their version of Russians named Ivan, or Muslims named Muhammad.
>>751431432Releasing console exclusives in PC is extremely fucking retarded for a bussinesss standpoint>PC fags crack the game >review bomb it over retarded shit>they buy mostly on extreme sales out of wich you lose 30% to Steam>brand lose prestige>players lose incentive to buy hardware>pc fags act as annoying faggots and bully your console base by telling lol lol no games or claiming their pc runs it better>steamfags are loyal to Steam, not to your brand, even IF you release the game on PC they will shit their pants over not being on Steam Its genuinely not worth itAlso Microsoft fell for this meme and has been in the brink of dying for a while and is also know as a no games machine
>>751435348those guys like hoarding games that they won't ever play
>>751435961>dev releases broken game>PC gamers are not allowed to point out that it's broken, otherwise this is toxic and bullying>it's good to silence your userbase so corporation makes moneyWhat a worthless post.
>>751429012I have been playing videogames for over 30 years now, and I have never found a consumer base more cultish and insecure than PC. Once upon a time, the format used to be about fun, creative software. Mostly late '80s to early 2000s. Since then, it's just become a cesspool of hollow braggarts, shovelware and broken software that barely keeps the attention of its dopamine-fried customers. Customers who are ironically the biggest 'consoomers' out there, because they do not appreciate videogames for their artistic merit, but rather quickly-digested slop that they will run, mod and toss aside like a fidget toy. And then throw tantrums about things they don't have (nor actually want). Literal toddler mentally. And it's great that the memory crisis has been such a reality-blow, that they're now actually forced to look in a mirror, prioritise, and take a long look at themselves about what's ACTUALLY important to their hobby. The 'old' days are over, and they are truly, genuinely terrified; their decades-long bluster disintegrating before my very eyes.It genuinely feels good being a true and honest unc gamer. Gonna play more Ocarina on my Switch 2 after work.
>>751429114I do it out of spite and hatred.We are not the same.
>>751429180>>751429012Based and truthpilled.
>>751430628>Hasnt had the steam service customer that offers a live view from the drone that is about to strike the person that just hacked his accountNGMI
>>751430152Full scale corporate A.I warfare will be neat when it starts really taking off.
>>751433296We'll always save the day
>>751430308>Leave the billion dollar company alone or you are a tranny This is like a rat calling me a thief. It's just funny as a concept.
>>751435961Well said
>>751435348a magazine
>>751436097>game releases perfectly working game>PC goyim bitch and moan it doesn't work on their scrimblobimbloOS or whatever the fuck is the FOTM troonix distro that year, and their obscure peripheral that doesn't even have linux drivers doesn't work on the game and review bomb the game>even worse when the PCpoors start crying their budget hardware old enough to legally drink isn't supported>this is somehow a good thing
>>751436569>PC goyim bitch and moan it doesn't work on their scrimblobimbloOS or whatever the fuck is the FOTM troonix distro that year, I thought they were a minority. You'd think they'd be drowned out by the more common windows users. Hmmmm.....
>>751436097You have faggots like these >>751433190Saying shit about running switch games with ai slop dlss5 and Uncapped frames despite the switch running those games perfectly fine at solid 60fps 4k HDR while docked or 1080p 60fps in a small screen that’s portable. The whole point is that PCfags do this all the fucking time with every single game no matter if it’s broken or not, they NEED to tell other people their PC runs it better. And to do so they go and annoy the console consumer baseIts a fruitless endeavor to try and please people that hollow at the expense of your actual loyal consumer base that pays for your games at full price, actually plays and discusses said games and is willing to defend you
>>751436613Nah PCtards are used to being extremely loud despite being the 1%.And linux pajeets in particular are THE loudniggers of gaming.
