Decent people pay for their games. Thiefs don't. Nintendo clearly doesn't support the later. Neither do I. In fact, I'm even less tolerant than Nintendo when it comes to piracy. I hate it with all my heart. Now, you can say you are not interested in piracy, but in homebrew in general. To be able to do things with your Switch that are not possible with the official software. I think you're lying about yourself. But let's say you really only want to do that. I would be fine with that... if piracy wouldn't be the main atraction of this whole thing. You see, only a minority of people want to hack their consoles to do some harmless stuff like emulate old consoles, add features that are not available for the system... The vast majority of people hacks their consoles to play free games. The bad greatly overpowers the good. So in my book... news like the ones in this thread shouldn't be something people are happy about. And I don't have anything more to say about this topic. |
Fail0verflow themself have a pretty clear anti-piracy stance. You choose not to believe them, because you don't understand that some people are not satisfied with doing things as the company decides for you, but want to explore the possibilities. That's what in the end brings innovation. As I said above, Nintendo introduced with 3DS features added on DS with homebrew. I don't think that is coincidence. Apple added features to iPhones, that were introduced through Jailbreaks. The same applies here. In the end we all profit from some adventurous individuals that push the borders of what you can do. Many things in detail were possible through hackign: playing Mario Kart Wii online after the official servers shut down, adding mods to games that had no modding API (the first mods were through hacks), the Starcraft-remake emulates a overflow bug, because map-maker used that to introduce more features than Blizzard planned to allow map-makers.
You outright say that's all smoke mirror for thieves. I feel sorry for you.
