PC Gamer put out an article with a surprisingly reasonable take regarding Nintendo's stance toward emulation. Only error I can see in the article is about the Dolphin/Steam situation (Valve contacted Nintendo willingly, Nintendo didn't pressure them).
Archived because it'll take more than 1 good article to redeem themselves.
Even Razorfist who claims "Intellectual Property" is property, and infamously posted a rant against public domain, admitted Nintendo is being fucking ridiculous here.
It's funny how much of a pass they get with fans. They've always been like this. It's because of Nintendo that Japan didn't have game rentals, and it would have been the same way in the US if they had gotten their way in court.
If they would take their online store strategy and pricing and bring it somewhere into same quadrant of galaxies as our real lives take place in, I'd have more sympathy.
As it is, I would rather donate to some uncouth website than pay $20 for what id basically a temporary usage rights license for some NES game that was created (and made easily accessible) before many of the current crop of developers were even old enough to ride a bike.
Want me to buy hardware and then buy all the heavy hitter games for it? One, act like I own the device. It is not a nintendo wizoopi; it is MY silly gadget that I bought with MY money and bc of that I can do what I want with it, even if you have decided to reinvest profits into FIGHTING ME.
"Even if" Meaning nintendo can become my enemy in this and fight """piracy""" with every iota of strength in their precious little occidental hearts and the result is that I will either wait 6 months and cuck your ass for free, instantly with zero effort... or I will totally ignore your brand forever.
I don't need rando businesses on the OTHER SIDE OF EARTH standing on the backs of Amerucan childrens toy sales and using that money to GANG UP with giant American companies against us
Since the wii practically Nintendo have been participating in western power play tactics and drm arms race behaviors against everyday people, and fuck them for it. That might have been my opinion in ANY case, but as luck has it, it's an opinion I hold while my entire culture is already embroiled in the process of having gay frog 5g blockchain terrorist bullshit shoved directly into its each and every collective orifice.
Do you think Im gonna shovel my disposable income your way if you participate in this shit from some cowed puppet state island pulpit? I am so sick of this type of shit, Nintendo, skip "think again" go entirely fuck yourselves.
And if they think woke/based marketing splashes affect this, skip "think again" once again and fuck off to the fullest possible extent. The next Zelda game could be exclusively about Link expelling gays, foreigners, and financial criminals from Hyrule and I would still skip your shit if the console it is on is a bunch of underpowered technoauthoritarian black box inflation-adjusted NES emulating app-store-portal HORSE SHIT.
This is seriously not the kind of behavior any japanese needs to copy the west on. Their entire country is DOOMED because of their greed and doglike emulation of the most evil and unfit western entities. They need to fuck right off.
I'm not gonna tolerate American companies like gillette telling me I'm rapey, nor apple fighting Right to Repair. it runs the whoooole fuckin gambit, the whole range, from airing a gay tv ad to "answering requests" from american political commissars. Maybe as a foreign company, try take care not to butt your flat heads into our literal struggle against technological enslavement?
Seriously it's a vibeo gaem device. They need to get over themselves. Fire the entire human resourse infrastructure associated with this line of "fight the consumer, dominate the consumer, herd the consumer" action. These people are an infection that has festered like a tumor under the armpit of our economic system, parasitically feeding off of actual work product and from their many dens making whole companies, nations, cultures sick in return.
Seriously let me "consume" a device by purchasing it, and then when you have my money, use it....
T O M A K E G A M E S. Stop "playing" games. We are working on attempts to DESTROY domestic companies for playing games. This is the disposition held as nintendo approaches with its greedy practices and whiney "wah people are able to enjoy things" hand rubbing money grubbing slot-machine-spawn entitlement.
Step two is to is to almost fully attach digital orders to physical shipments of cases and game cards.
"Wah wah the expense" bro most of us are old enough to know, if we look back and think, that they transitioned from retail to digital right after essentially raping the corpse body of anti-trust and competition law, by coordinating with 2 other companies to raise all game prices by 10%+ all in the same month or so.
So they do that, and keeping those prices across all 3 companies, and all 3 IMMEDIATELY lean hard to satan-drm infested digital copies, which take ZERO production or retail cost.
You have any clue how much they shelled out for all that shelf space they hardly need anymore? How much for distribution and logistics contracts and so forth and so on? Kept the physical prices. Did you a sneaky.
Then for good measure they went in and dusted off IP's they couldnt be fucked to actually work on in the last 30 years and plugged em into their new, underpowered app-store-portal devices, and immediately went to biftching about piracy, wah wah, how could this happen to us. Eat a bag of dicks Nintendo.
The Nintendo that kills every emulation-selling version of their console's e-shop before starting a new e-shop on their new console?

I'll only give them a pass up until they start pushing faggotry in their games.
I don't care what Sony or Microsoft does at this point, they've ruined their own properties heavily catering to the degenerate class.

It's worth noting I didnt get past step one yet.
