When is Nintendo going to learn that you can't beat pirates? It's impossible.
30 years after the rest of the world, so estimates are probably 30 years after the heat death of the universe.
I mean the piracy community is a hydra, if you cut off one head there's another waiting, but they do make it annoying. Look at how many websites are hesitant about posting Switch content. It might be a "dragging heels in the sand situation" but it does provide a bit of resistance towards piracy.
All that said I don't think Nintendo realizes how many people are in the piracy headspace of "they wouldn't have purchased it even if piracy wasn't an option". I imagine a lot of people who pirate Switch games don't even own a Switch. They just want to play one or two games don't view the cost of the console and game as worth it.
