@Dr_Lugae I'm not talking about pacifying pirates, I'm speaking of putting them out of business! If there was a viable and legal way of getting these roms nobody would look to the pirates as most people would opt for the legal way! With a fair price and good costumer most people would do the honest thing. Nintendo and others makes it easy for these crooks to do business on the internet, but it is not only Nintendo and the other companies losing out when someone downloads these roms they also use things like malware to steal your personal info and sell it to the underworld too!
Nintendo can profit off of selling retro roms; I know that this has been said many times before but the market is truly there! If they team up with the likes of Gamestop who is having a bad business life, they could have Gamestop sell the Roms and both compnies could benefit from this union! Should we make excuses for stealing? NO! but, if Nintendo don't do the right thing people will do these things.. I know part of it is marketing to get people to buy their new stuff, but a lot of us are stuck in the past and will buy the new stuff like the switch, but still would like to play the older things. Residual income is what they are losing out on and I say give people a legal way to play these games on emulators or what ever systems! I don't know if Nintendo will ever listen to the voice of the people, because most companies don't, but if people start not buying any Nintendo product maybe our voices will be heard! Lift up your voices by closing your wallet as not only the people who are pirating these roms are crooks, so are companies like nintendo!
