    Honestly, pirating Nintendo products should be considered an ethical obligation at this point, just to spite them.

      I have been since 1998, but I ramped it up recently since they went after Yuzu.

        Same. I’m not buying an entire console just for Zelda.

        Same with Sony. I’m not buying a PS5 for final fantasy.

        Fuck you Nintendo. Fuck you Sony.

      Not even just out of spite. In a way its another form of “voting with one’s wallet”. It will affect their sales, and if their heads aren’t too far up their assess (like, sitting on their own shoulders), they’ll finally get a clue.

      But I’m not holding my breath.

        Pirated copies of old ROMs that Nintendo doesn’t sell anymore cannot be counted as “lost sales,” so that really only applies to their latest releases.
