Re: Review: Street Fighter 6: Years 1-2 Fighters Edition (Switch 2) - Just One Caveat Holds Back Capcom's Finest

@Old-Red I'm with you. It may well be a losing battle, but just blindly accepting it is partly why it's been able to happen.

I've heard of people refusing to buy the game key card versions, and if enough of them do it to make even a small dent, maybe some more companies will be more like CD Projekt Red and insist on a proper cartridge for physical releases.

Re: Nintendo Today! Update Prevents Users From Recording Promotional Videos

I long for the day the corporate side of Nintendo would be as fun loving and creative as their game creation division.

I don't think it's ever been that way, but I can dream. As it stands they really are the worst kind of corporate monster.

And I'll just add: sure, they have all the right in the world to do what they have. But we the people that pay them money for their products have the right to sh*t on them for things we don't like.

Re: Nintendo Updates Its User Agreement To Crack Down On Emulation

@BirdoDidNothingWrong it's a difficult one for sure. I don't have an obvious fix either, but I think we as consumers at the very minimum need to demand these companies do better at providing long term access and usability for the product they purchased and reducing needless waste as well.

As I said, we've been somewhat fortunate with still having mostly physical copies of games still being a thing, but it's only a matter of time before that changes and kinda already is.

@BirdoDidNothingWrong it's more about longevity and preventing landfill. The only reason my 3DS is still the great device it is, is because of custom firmware and being able to do with it what I please. Sure the 3DS itself still has advantage of physical media, but when consoles eventually go fully online/digital only, one day those devices will be almost useless after their shelf life unless they can be modded and controlled.

Honestly people should be supportive of this if only to be in support of recycling and preventing needless e-waste, therefore the health of the planet.

The only thing more gross than Nintendo's legal aggression are some of people defending the billion dollar company like they are so hard done by.
If emulation and modding isn't your thing, well go on with life, you're not affected anyway, but modding and being able to have actual control of the hardware you buy is important so the rest of us will always advocate that. Otherwise these corpos do what they want and the consumer suffers.
