Gaming Are Nintendo starting to put piracy blocks on all their games?

[Panzer Tacticer]

You guys should be THANKFUL yes thankful that Nintendo continues to pursue their clearly pathetic efforts to hose your freebie downloads.

After all, if not for their worthless efforts, a lot of you would actually need to find something useful to post about

 

[House Spider]

I don't really care for Kingdom Hearts or Pokemon if they get blocked. =p

Burn the heretic!!!!

 

[crook]

I bought every flashcart to see which is my favourite, so far its the R4.

You must be drunk.

 

[blackdragonbaham]

what a question isn't it ovious, and why start? did'nt they start it long ago?°°
nintendo hates pirates and they will continue to put and perfect their piracy blocks until .. who knows,infinity?
mario rpg 3 is a good proof of this:.

I love how people try to stop piracy, because it's literally impossible. We have literally thousands and thousands of hackers who crack these just for fun. Piracy will never end, because, in reality, no one wants it to stop, and as long as someone out there wants to pirate games, they will. It's got so many excuses, anyone can find a way not to make themselves feel bad about it. Practically anyone can be a pirate, it requires no special tools, other than an acekard or modchip, to download a game. It's fast, nearly untraceable, and free. People, even if they only started to pirate games just so they didn't have to carry them all around, will eventually get sucked into pirating dumps of unreleased games. The worst thing about it is that it's much better than retail. I pirate when I'm broke, when a game comes out early, or when there is literally no fucking way I'm going to get it. If I do like the games, I'll buy them, but, otherwise. I'll probably here about how piracy is killing the software industry everyday. I personally don't like the fact that I pirate, it feels wrong, but it's much better than dealing with the assholes at gamestop. It seems like nothing's worth buying today, anyway. The only games you ever hear about are shovelware, and when they make good games, I'll buy them, but, sadly, scribblenauts is one of the only nintendo games I've bought in a long, long time.

I hope Square Enix doesn't make a new anti-piracy for their games, I kind of enjoy their games. Although I don't mind if Ubisoft follows Nintendo's footsteps. XD

Also jaxx, chill, no need to flame.

Companies are fully aware they cant win against piracy in the long run. The reason they still use it is to delay the pirates. Most games make the majority of their total profit with the early adopters who simply HAVE to play asap paying full retail price in the first few days after release. If the protection lasts those few days so those people pay instead of pirate it was worth the effort to them.

a lot of games get leaked a few days to a week before the actual release and the anti-piracy is usually removed no more then a couple of days after the leak so pirates still play the game days before the actual release date.

I do think they're putting Anti-piracy blocking on new,good games. I just hope there's no block for 358/2 days when it comes out for US.

There most definitely will be a anti piracy on Kingdom hearts (U) whether or not its the same anti piracy as the (J) version is yet to be seen but theres a possibility that they put a stronger anti piracy on it.

In which case they failed in their goal. My point is people seem to be under the impression that AP protection is always a waste of time because its always cracked at some point and that is not the case. People on the supply chain leaking games is another problem on top of simple piracy. Although not applicable to DS it is why a lot of PC games now need online authentication that downloads the final few files of the game before it can be played, on top of standard AP measures.

 

[syko5150]

i think AP is a good thing at least from Nintendo's point of view but as long as there are hackers around and something to hack it will get hacked its all a matter of time before we see pretty much everything hacked...

 

[deathking]

my question is , is there any roms which have not been cracked yet on the ds?

 

[Chris_Skylock]

Pokemon HGSS has unstable fix. but it's partial cracked, doesnt it?

I would like NIntendo to put a stronger anti piracy but at the same time I would be sad if i cant test some games other than pokemon.

 

[Argon]

be quiet

this is no place for Pro Anti-piracy

Oh, okay I'm sorry I forgot, this is not a place for Pro Anti-Piracy? Why don't you go read up on the rules, as you are mistaken.

R4 Ownes

But really, it doesnt surprise me that the bigger games are getting blocked.

 

[fallinroxas]

@BortzANATOR: I believe you meant to say, R4 used to ownes.

 

[House Spider]
