Hahaha that got me! I legit thought this could've been a PR stunt that actually may have happened until I read the last sentence ... after which I thought it was even more likely to have happened.

If I didn't know it better I would've thought that was real.

I will never ever fucking purchase a console or game of that shit company. I will always pirate and emulate.

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But €70 for Mario Kart that’s approximately 8 years old and on an outdated console?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?

[–] Facebones@reddthat.com 11 points 5 months ago

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!

Should turn around and sue Nintendo for facilitating the facilitation of piracy by making the consoles in the first place.

[–] kumatomic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Crappy ones that they knowingly sale with faulty hardware. Of course someone tried that and they forced him into arbitration. I don't see why anyone supports that shit company anymore.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 27 points 5 months ago

Considering the US, where they're filing the lawsuit, has just recently opened up the floodgates of corporate lobbying power thanks to SCOTUS, I don't know why anyone would want to support such a maliciously litigious company.

The subpoenas will continue until morale improves.

[–] schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Because most poeple don't care and just want to play the latest $GAME_NAME_HERE?

And I mean, Nintendo has already sued people into essential slavery and nobody said shit, so I don't know what the fuck will get people's attention.

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 5 points 5 months ago

I will say, one difference between Nintendo and other game console manufacturers, is that they do innovate more and make incredibly well-polished games as far as large game developers go

But yeah, screw their Disney/Apple/WotC-esque business practices

[–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 43 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Nobody asking themselves how they got all these details of that person?

Reddit doesnt require a full name.

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 41 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

My guess is: Got IP Address from Reddit, asked ISP for data.

I've seen this type of thing reported so many times, seems like ISPs will give out your data willy-nilly if someone so much as looks at them funny

[–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If you do interesting stuff, use a good VPN. But those will also have to either delete their logs (Wireguard is actually worse here) or be brave.

Or Tor...

[–] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Am I missing something with Wireguard? Isn't it just a open source VPN software?

What's wrong with it?

[–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wireguard has performance improvements at the cost of NEEDING to store client data longer.

[–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

Update: yes this is still true. MullvadVPN and ProtonVPN (which I dont recommend) both patch wireguard to work with less logs.

Officially, Wireguard cannot be no-log

[–] FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I used to love them. Really I did. Under iwata the company was truly something special for a while. But as with all companies, the fall from grace has been hard. I don't know a single person with a good opinion of Nintendo anymore. Even a surprising amount of irl people who are not in the know about a lot of piracy and modding stuff seem to at least know enough from recent events that Nintendo are beyond irreparably evil.

[–] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 5 months ago

I know a person who still unironically defends Nintendo and thinks they're in the right doing what they do. I consider them a lost cause. 🤷

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 20 points 5 months ago

Fuck Nintendo theyre really the only games I pirate because the rub better on other hardware and fuck Nintendo

[–] aldalire@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 5 months ago

buy a steam deck people!!

[–] selfKaiHarness@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 months ago

It's morally correct to pirate nintendo games. Always has been...
