[QUOTE="Xzi, post: 10152034, member: 342429"] Exactly, convenience is king. While Sony, Xbox, and Valve are all moving toward a "play all your games on any device, anywhere and any time" model for the sake of increased convenience, you can only "legally" play $70 Nintendo exclusives at 720p and an unstable 30 FPS. As long as Ninty keeps creating new inconveniences and/or problems for their own user base, it'll be the pirates who keep offering solutions. You can't copyright the concept of cd or software keys, because every developer needs to be able to generate their own. Furthermore you can't copyright specific keys, because they might be randomly generated again in the future and thus re-used for different software. Instead it's Nintendo's assertion that copyright law was violated when people bypassed their shitty protection to access the keys, but again, that's legally dubious until it sees a challenge in court. Piracy is never going to be eliminated entirely, but you can shrink its footprint to the point of being nearly irrelevant by offering a superior alternative. Indie games that end up selling tens of millions of copies on Steam are proof of that. In contrast, I very much doubt the devs are crying about the few thousand pirated copies on the way to the bank.
