Re: Nintendo's Profit During The Switch Generation Is Absolutely Wild

@Pillowpants Thank you for replying, and apologies for being slow in replying. I'm not personally that interested in replaying the old games, and really don't have any appreciation of fan art which makes it easy for me to fall on Nintendo's side for those. I don't have any issues with people doing as they please in their own homes, but i do get the impression that people are often using the IP's in order to popularise themselves. In turn advertising their work and themselves to a wider audience, which leads to monetizing.
I get the way you feel about music, it seems that Nintendo wants to hold the cards, but then it doesn't sell it to people. My ony guess is that they don't feel they would profit enough, business doesn't seem to care if their isn't enough money invovled nowadays. The same as the FOMO they seem to like to create over certain items, rather than selling more they seem to prefer to have an exclusitivity with things.

I am pretty much always happy to accept whatever Nintendo do (I know, I know) and find it easy to accept the different directions that they take, even if they don't always suit me personally. I think people hold to high expectations and want things to be what they think and feel, it's no wonder marriages don't last as long now.
Thanks again for the comment, I hope you have a great weekend.

Re: The First Third-Party iOS App Store Hosts A Free Nintendo Emulator (Europe)

@AndyRogan I definitely copied a few games, but after a while they made that difficult. Also used to change the £2.99 price stickers for the £1.99 one's!! But I always knew what I was doing was illegal, and didn't go around shouting about it.

My comment is more poking at the expectation that because a game is old it is fair game to do as you wish.

I agree with others, this company has been in decline for years. Many years ago I couldn't walk past a Game/Gamestation without having a look, haven't been in much since they started making the place look like a pawn shop, full of phones and tech.

Zero hour contracts - Shameless practise

Re: Creators Of New Switch Emulator 'Suyu' Hope To Avoid Nintendo's Wrath

@JohnnyMind Thank you for your response. I am in no way trying to attack your opinion.
I just think the modding and hacking community use similar tools to do what they want. A bit like if I made a universal car key to help all the people that get locked out of their car. So because I don't hold any interest in modding I feel we would be better with neither.

@kr0n0tu I do not want there to be any change in the law to take away people's right to do what they like with the product they have purchased. But there are laws in what you can do with what you can do with it when you have modded it.
And please do not use that preservation argument, what gives anyone the right to preserve something because they think it should be? In that case we should all have a copy of every game ever made.

@LadyCharlie I feel you will get burnt in life thinking that all the little companies are just great people and are completely fair to customers and the planet. And I also think you'll find that there are lots of them that are wannabe big time CEO's who haven't got there yet.
Small companies just have an easier opportunity at making themselves look better.

Re: Microsoft To Share "Vision For The Future Of Xbox" Next Week

I feel this is the slow process of all out digital from microsoft, I believe that you will only buy controllers in the future. They will connect to any devise which will stream the games.
Not too sure what point we are in that but looks like we will hear something from them this week.
