Why do you keep using words like “accuse” and “guilty”? Lol

Nintendo benefitted financially from piracy and made no efforts to hide the fact that they obtained games through the exact same methods that pirates use.

This is what I’m saying. I’m not even sure why you seem to be trying to make this a fight or an argument or something. “Tire you out”? Lol

“But I haven’t seen you in over a decade!”

I said, SAME. OLD!

I’m asking you to clearly formulate what it is that you’re accusing Nintendo of.

For the third time…

Nintendo benefitted financially from piracy and made no efforts to hide the fact that they obtained games through the exact same methods that pirates use.

Which part is unclear to you? Lol

Source, in case you’re unfamiliar with this funny thing they did

What are you confused about?

I don’t understand what your angle is. It feels like you’re really trying to win an argument, except you seem to be the only one arguing.

I’ve been trying to sort out a misunderstanding, and it looks like you’re trying to win something. The misunderstanding is sorted out. So, I guess you win, too?

I couldn’t be bothered cooking after walking from school x3

Unfortunately, I use some software that’s Windows-only, and can’t be bothered to set up a VM or anything

No, I’ve understood this whole time that you’re saying “Nintendo is legally allowed to do this with their own games”.

What I’m saying is “Nintendo benefitted from their game having been pirated because they downloaded and sold the exact version of the game that someone illegally pirated”.

Nintendo didn’t do anything illegal. Someone did something illegal, and Nintendo saved time and effort (and therefore money too) because of the illegal thing that someone did.

Why do you multiply the last word of your comments by three?

Well, as a Canadian, I kindly ask that y’all get your act together and figure it out! Haha

Ok, I see now.

I was saying that they benefitted from other people pirating their games.

You thought I meant that they benefitted from pirating their own games.

I can see how what I wrote could be interpreted that way. But no, I meant that they benefitted from their games having been pirated in the past by pirates.

Probably American citizens

What I said in my last comment was

Nintendo benefitted financially from piracy and made no efforts to hide the fact that they obtained games through the exact same methods that pirates use.

I’m not sure why this didn’t satisfy your pedantry before, but maybe you didn’t read it when you replied to it last time.

Booty and gold, of course

$100 could be a week of grocery money too. $50 for a frugal individual, even.

Ok, then Nintendo benefitted financially from piracy and made no efforts to hide the fact that they obtained games through the exact same methods that pirates use.

It’s a large market. Nintendo of America might even bring in more revenue than Nintendo of Japan.

Maybe Nintendo of America doesn’t want international prices to be higher than international ones (adjusting for currency exchanges) because they’re worried about Americans ordering them from elsewhere (losing NoA sales). And Nintendo in Japan doesn’t care because Japanese gamers will pay anything for the next Nintendo console, lol

It’s probably almost nearly 100% of emulator users who pirate games.

Even Nintendo pirated their own games before releasing them on the Wii’s Virtual Console.

I imagine it’s easier to catch uploaders than viewers.

It’s also probably more impactful to go for the big “power producers” simultaneously and quickly before word gets out and people start locking things down.

Canadian here: What’s the difference? /s
