@omgwtfbbq: more like they are just stopping people making tools designed for the theft of bread.(despite the fact that no such tools are needed, but that's because the bread analogy doesn't fit)
locking up the whole town would be equivalent to locking up the whole videogaming community (or at least all the developers...but no they would be the breadmakers?)
basically bread stealing doesnt fit.
what should have been is the Wii should be region free, which would give no excuses then (The chips would still be made, but only bought by people wanting to actually play pirate games, not by people who are trying to get games at the same time/price as Japan/USA)
So yes it is partly Nintendos fault that things like Wii-Key are as popular as they are. -------- I thought it might be something like that with Brasil - Brazil.....i often try to use the British way of large numbers instead of the American, but everyone gets confused.
1 Billion in American = 1,000,000,000 (or one thousand million) [1X10^9]
1 Billion in British = 1,000,000,000,000 (or one million million) [1X10^12] 1 Trillion in American = 1,000,000,000,000 (or one million million) [1X10^12]
1 Trillion in British = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 (or one million million million) [1X10^18] although at least Brazil and Brasil are not so different as to confuse (except isnt there a city in Brasil called Brazil) |
you can't make a bloody analogy any more without people taking it farther than you should. The point is, you're gettin rid of those who have the potential to steal, rather than those who are actually stealing. |
So you're saying Nintendo should break into a bunch of individual houses and try to stop individual players from illegally downloading games? Sounds like something the RIAA would do (Music Recording Industry).
I think it's hilarious when these thieves (including you omgwtfbbq) try to rationalize their thievery. You know it's wrong to do, so you make up some lame reason why its OK.
Nintendo has every right to raid these factories and sue the companies (Some even in europe, according to that article) that make/sell/distribute/are involved with these modchips on any level of the industrial process.
Why would Nintendo want you to use homebrew anyway? They don't make any money off of that, so that argument is pretty pointless. When you buy the Wii, and read the instruction manual, it specifically states they do not support you modifying the console in any way, so it sounds like YOUR problem if Nintendo just raided your favorite modchip factory, LOL.
Especially the people on these forums, who are in tune with all the game related news should ALREADY KNOW, FOR A FACT, BEFORE THEY PURCHASE THE WII:
1. The Wii is not Region Free
2. Games will be released in different regions at different times
3. Nintendo has every right to (AND WILL) release an update that BREAKS your modded Wii
4. Don't be suprised if Nintendo looks at the purchase records after they raid these factories
