Re: Nintendo's Lawsuit Win Against Major French Sharehoster Is Now Final

@Toastmaster You are ignoring what I said about Nintendo using additional layers of DRM on their games. Nintendo could easily sign a deal with Denuvo for a lifetime license and leave the game with the securer Denuvo using a digital PC store that isn't steam or even Epic.

Nintendo, if they would put say Breath of the Wild on the PC, they would lock it down to daily online file check-ins, Kernel level DRM, and other things that would more than likely not work on a Linux handheld without some serious hoops jumped through. We don't want Nintendo games on PC, because it won't be how other games on PC are. You get a Nintendo game on the PC, with little to no customization of graphics settings and none of the benefits as Nintendo would start suing anyone for making mod tools for their PC games.

@Jam777 Then Sony should be releasing their games day one on PC and PS5 like MS has been doing. If PS5 owners and PC owners are two different markets, then it shouldn't hurt sales on the PS5.

@anoyonmus I'm not sure if that budget includes the advertising budget as well.

Nintendo porting one game, any game to PC is them admitting they have failed with the Switch 1 or Switch 2. They failed with the budgets being too high, not making enough money for their games on the Switch.

I mentioned in my post the DRM Nintendo would use, Denuvo with secondary and/or tertiary with Nintendo not putting the game on Steam so they can get the full 100% of sales revenue. They would lock out access to Steam Deck and other handhelds by "trying" to check flags those devices have and rope in people's PCs, only 16:9 resolutions, 60FPS cap, no modding at all, and probably the same textures as the source game.

There are too many caveats Nintendo imposes on how people can play their games on the Switch; PC players will just crack the game and play it that way while Nintendo sues the people who crack the games.
