Yeah. Hazard of the trade. Can’t say I feel much sympathy for these people.

What the heck, people here seem to think that once you're successful enough, it's okay to start stealing from you. Would you like to apply this to yourselves as well?

[deleted: I was being too harsh.]

This is about 200,000 people, which is bound to include 'collateral damage', i.e. actual innocents. I guess that's OK for you?

You have to be found guilty to be punished by law.

Yar matey! I be plunderin me some Mario Party says I! Yo ho ho and a bottle of 1-2 Switch!

Poor ppl have the right to steal entertainment products so long as they take it from billion-dollar corpos. Law is only there to protect the poor. Rich peeple or corpos don't apply.

God modern Nintendo is becoming worse and worse. Worst game preservation of any publisher, not only do they barely put any games on their Switch Online thing leading to thousands of old games with nowhere to play them legally, but they also refuse to print new copies of their older games like many other publishers do, leading to massively overpriced used games market, and they rarely discount remaining new copies of their own games either, when most other publishers drop them to like $10 or less eventually. Then as if all of that isn't bad enough, let's go after ROM's and emulators too.

I'm a goody two shoes who has never downloaded a current generation ROM and only downloaded a handful of older generation ROM's over the years, but I still find Nintendo's crackdown on ROM's to be incredibly annoying.

Well... I guess that's one way to look at it. Personally I'm not exactly fond of there being a threat of getting what's probably some personal details of hundreds of thousands of people just because they belong in a subreddit, for one reason or another. In my opinion, that's massive overreach, considering the supposed damage caused and the threat to privacy this implies. And yes, I'm a strong advocate of privacy in general.

That's one of the reasons I dislike current Nintendo.

Geez, if you despise people downloading old ROMs, then just give us a good official way to play them in modern days.
