Re: Miyamoto Calls On His Industry Peers To Deliver Games At Fixed Prices

@Nincompoop First of all: Nintendo has upped their security on the Switch a lot, if your certificate doesn't match when playing a game (aka you pirated a game via tickets), then you get banned, if the console header is used multiple times, and eg for different titles, then you get banned. Besides that: pirating on the 3DS got virtually impossible, since Nintendo introduced new CDN protection, which require being on 11.8, which locked down freeshop as well, and which introduced antipiracy stuff.

Anyway, besides that: the Switch has way more telemetry, which makes it so people people who use CFW/homebrew need to pick between online or homebrew/CFW (and for the filthy pirates between piracy and online). Homebrew isn't piracy, it CAN only possibly lead to it, but isn't always the case. Also, Nintendo's security got better and console hackers acknowledge it. It's not like Sony has the best security. Microsoft has for example the luck nowadays that they got an open developer platform, so few people hack their console, they enable development mode.
