Re: Soapbox: A Week After Jailing One Pirate, Nintendo Just Made Piracy A Reality For Countless Fans

The entitlement on display here is absolutely mindblowing. Surely, it would be great if Nintendo's entire back catalog was available in the Virtual Console format, and they'd implement a console-independent system that ensures you can access your purchases on any new system they produce. BUT! Nintendo is not in any way required to do so, legally, ethically or otherwise. Pretending like Nintendo has some kind of moral obligation to cater to your own personal wants is so utterly mega cringe to me.

I pirate whatever retro game I want to play. I don't feel morally compromised in doing so. But I also don't blame Nintendo for "forcing me to do it". Own the decisions you make, and stop making excuses. What in the ever loving hell.
