Yeah...you can make the argument that modchips allow independents to make games and allow for other legal uses...but everyone knows almost everybody uses them to pirate games.

I think the "indie games" argument is just a tiny bit irrelevant, now that WiiWare is launching and creating an easy way for developers to not only have their indie games published, but also to make money off of them.

@ omgwtfbbq: What legitimate, legal uses does a modchip offer someone?


 

Well if I remember correctly region locking is illegal in Australia.(Yet somehow the Wii still can be region locked) So technically it would be making something illegal, legal.

 That makes no sense. If region locking is illegal, then why haven't Nintendo been sued? And why haven't Sony been sued for region-locking the PS2? and so on...



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
