    Should I rush to get a launch model for hacking reasons or not?

    Yeah about that...

    Let's talk about the price of Switch 2 games

    That's oversimplifying it, I already went over it in a previous post.

    Of course it works, the cart has the game in it, it's not a key cart like Bravely Default, Street Fighter 6 and a couple other ones.

    Let's talk about the price of Switch 2 games

    I'm kinda hoping that there's a current software exploit on the S1 that works on V2/Lite/OLED models but that's being kept hidden to see if it also works on the S2 when it releases. Probably a pipe dream, but it would be hilarious if it happened. But yeah, I doubt that it will go unhacked, with...

    Let's talk about the price of Switch 2 games

    The issue with this argument is that most people ignore stuff like: Most (if not all) games before the PS1/N64 era were programmed in stuff like Assembly and other languages that are lower level than C Even in the PS1/N64 era, a lot of games were a mix of C and those lower languages because...

    Gary Bowser has been sentenced to 3+ years in prison

    I'm not saying there are no moral problems. Morals are not the same for everyone, you do you, I'll do me. I personally have no issue with pirating because I use it basically as game demos: if I do like a game enough, I'll buy it if I can find it on sale at a price that I feel is worth it (I...

    Neither does it mean that the "damage" is as big as the companies claim. "The companies that wanted to sell something bad for your health did studies and conveniently got inconclusive results on whether or not the thing they wanted to sell was bad for your health" Come on now lmao, why would...

    And yet it's still the most thorough study that we have, even according to that article you link. Also, a few paragraphs after the one that points out the margin of error: I had a bit of a skim through the study for a few hours these last few days (at least until the initial interest faded and...

    Comparing two completely different markets (console gaming vs mobile gaming). I don't remember Android gaming starting off with paid games, the whole hype I saw about it was about there were so many free games on it. If you're going to make one of the main draws of your platform the free games...

    Piracy is a tiny, TINY percentage of the total userbase, be it in games, movies, whatever you want. Especially nowadays with how easy and "affordable" (if you don't think long term, but that's a different can of worms) streaming services are (for movies and music) and the ease of access to...

    Gary Bowser has been sentenced to 3+ years in prison

    I really don't understand how there are people that use this argument. Do you honestly think that the devs only get paid after the game starts selling? Sure, that applies to indie games, but I seriously doubt that Nintendo did this to help the indie devs, and I doubt even more that they'll give...

    Yeah, there are a lot of people that find excuses. But there are also others that do end up buying the games. I've lost count to the amount of games that I pirated on PC and older consoles that I ended up buying later on. There are even some that I pirated and would like to have bought, but I...

    Pokemon Sword and Shield overtake Gold and Silver as series' second-highest selling games

    Yeah, fair enough, it's a bit subjective, so I won't argue too much on whether PLA is or isn't a mainline game. It's weird enough that people will disagree on it until we know if the next game will be like it :P That said, the series' original intent was more about collecting (and trading, to a...

    Pokemon Sword and Shield overtake Gold and Silver as series' second-highest selling games

    By that logic, gens 1, 2 and 3 aren't mainline games since they're single player rpgs with no online battles :D Which makes that "the ip isn't gonna get very far" bit even more ironic. Also, about trades being added at the last minute: the games have been rushed since gen 5 or 6, when they...

    Pokemon Sword and Shield overtake Gold and Silver as series' second-highest selling games

    I get it, I thought similarly until I got into Ranked Battle Spot back in XY and started making silly teams (like mono-type teams) to try out new stuff. That made me like a lot more Pokémon and start playing with way more variety in future games (and even when I go back to replay some older...
