So instead of making their games more easily accessible and re-releasing old games, which has been proven to reduce piracy and may even be profitable, they just throw money at a lawsuit attacking an emulator?
Don't forget good hardware too. The switch is an absolutely terrible hand held device. My hands cramp up nearly instantly trying to play on it.
I have purchased BOTW and TOTK for the switch, but I play them on my steam deck with YUZU Waaaay better experience.
Wait, how does that reduce piracy?
Having a good service that's easily accessible and re-releasing games from older consoles (many of which people have been rallying for) = less of an incentive to pirate them. Obv it will still exist, but it'd be in less of a demand. I almost never pirate PC games since the vast majority of the ones I'm interested in are readily accessible, unless it's from a shitty AAA company like EA.
I haven't pirated any of these gams And it's a little bit off topic But damn I would so buy Mario party or Mario tennis or even arms if it wasn't $60
Like I think the games are cute But I'd rather buy 3 indie games with way more worth in play time then a $60 tennis simulator that I will drop in a week or a party game that I will only use on the rare occasion I'm hanging out with friends
I'm actually kind of happy that Nintendo is shutting down the Wii U and 3ds eShop because now it feels more ethical to pirate all the small $60 games I wanted to play
Hell id gladly spend $30 on many of these games
Tl;Dr these games are not worth $60 and I'm a little salty about it
Ever heard of a small indie company called Valve?
