People wouldn’t pirate so much if their prices were not so high and their console itself not so trash. If they made a decent product and decent prices, many would’ve purchased it.

But €70 for Mario Kart that’s approximately 8 years old and on an outdated console? No thanks. Not to mention them suing people and such.

Gosh, I hate that company.

It's actually 10 years old when taking the original Wii U version of Mario Kart 8 into account.

I mean, the switch is an excellent console. The only problem imo is the weak wireless strength of the joycons. That's the only issue I've had since I got mine in like 2019.

I'd still feel better owning a steam deck though

Well, how are they gonna pay the lawyers?

I have a switch but its a launch model so its modded. Totk runs like crap, and my friend with a legit copy basically said "same" when I asked about it.

On yuzu I have it running at 1440p60hz, could probably bump it to 120 and having a grand ole time

I mean, their console is pretty good, and sparked the innovation of a completely new console type (with the Steam Deck and a few others following suit)

It's their prices, and more-so their business practices, that gets people to pirate. Hell, they'll pirate the great games on their hardware, but they'll pirate!
