Hey, remember that game you loved as a kid and wanted it on your newest system with minor quality of life changes? We made a mobile version that kills the style, has a shitty controller layout that you cant change, and its $59.99 more than when it originally released 30 years ago

I have pretty much the entire N64 library on a cartridge that plays on my N64, an SD card in my Wii, and my computer. Obviously these are all legitimate backups from games I own.

Every time I hear Nintendo issues another C&D, I have a new emulator to download before they get forcibly taken down.

It's 100% the streisand effect.

"Oh you're whining about another small group of people passionate about your past games? Well let me pile onto your woes. Asshole."

I do not understand how one company can have so much dedication from fans while simultaneously despising them.

If YOU aren't going to offer a 100% obviously and clearly above board, legal, safe, option for games anymore, someone else WILL and you get absolutely nothing from it.

And I also don't understand why a company with no intention of ever selling something again still has the ability to sue people while claiming lost revenue. Get fucked, and stop bitching. It just makes me never want to buy Nintendo products ever again.

But that won't stop me from playing Nintendo products.

If they sold emulators on steam or gog I would probably pay a reasonable amount for them. But they don't, so I pay nothing.

I recently jailbroke my Wii and ripped all my current games, so this is surprisingly relatable to me right now.
I also got a low firmware PS4 to jailbreak so I can rip those in preparation for ShadPS4, an up and coming PS4 emulator. Bloodborne is running on it now, though it's still far from playable.

How about you re-release your older games on platforms I'm willing to pay for, ones that aren't tied to an arbitrary subscription service or apart of a digital storefront that can go down at any time?

Literally what happened to me. I have a modded switch but still bought games for it, when they shut down yuzu I packed the switch up and play exclusively on PC now.

This meme works especially well because Pam's line immediately before this is "I could give a shit about your happiness"

This is what I did, although I went a step further than emulating. I'd always been planning on hacking my Switch once the next one came out, but when Nintendo went after Yuzu, I said fuck 'em and hacked it then and there. They won't be getting any more sales from me this gen.

Yeah, I'm kinda pissed about this stuff. I watched Noodle's video about the motorstorm series and come to find out I have to spend a bunch to get the original hardware or just not play it because I can't find any ROMs online anywhere.

I will emulate even their wives

(I'm kidding with the last part)

Nintendo ruined the 8-bit computer game culture and I will never forgive them.

What's that supposed to mean?!

Nintendo isn't even losing money. There so people still buying Nintendo products. Probably cause they don't know how to emulate and such.

I got a confirmation on my MIG being shipped just a few days ago. Also finally managed to cancel my Nintendo online subscription, they couldn't have made that more difficult.
