Is Kotaku based now?
Broken clocks are right twice a day, that doesn't mean you start paying attention to a broken clock instead of a working one.
Seems like even Kotaku and IGN are getting tired of Nintendo's gimmicky shit.
it's an elaborate ploy by nintendo to connect emulation to the unbearable homosexuals who work for kotaku.
>no one cares about gay shit anymore
>they copy discord trannies shitposting methods
I’m surprised they didn’t do it earlier.
I’ll side with the Twitter crowd if it means Kotaku gets blacklisted by Nintendo.
Kotaku was never based but based article nonetheless.
I guarantee you if Kotaku said they were against piracy all these gays would still be opposed to whatever they spew. "W-WELL THIS IS HOW WE PRESERVE VIDYA!!!"
>kotaku is based now
wtf
I mean, Metroid is actually one of their few series where you can still buy almost every game.
Idk, Super Metroid still expensive af.
70 loose isn't much. That's basically the msrp. If you really cared you'd get a super famicom and loose copy for that system because they're like 30$ and the same rom.
If Nintendo manages to kill Kotaku I will actually pay for Metroid
>this homosexual hates this other homosexual
>is this homosexual based???
hmm
Yup, can confirm Ganker loves Kotaku now.
leftists are thieves
I thought piracy was based?
Thievery is cringe and wrong no matter how you're stealing. Doesn't matter if you're a phantom thief or you only steal digital code, theft is theft, and it's against the 10 commandments given to us by our Lord God, therefore by committing this act of sin you are casting your soul off to Hell.
have a nice day journoBlack person
Kotaku will never be based.
Doing one good thing doesn't make up for all of the shit they've done.
No, articles like this are overall a net negative and makes nintendo more likely to retaliate (like taking down rom sites)
You should see the tendies on Switch leddit, they're having a meltdown over it
>I-i only visit reddit unironically it doesn't count!
Go back.
anyone who disagrees with emulation are outing themselves as the biggest npc morons ever
Okay lets think about this logically
Kotaku knowingly puts up this article, but knowing that Nintendo will likely retaliate, what is their endgame here?
The choices are:
>they're really just too stupid to see what's going to come from this and just want hateclicks
>they want nintendo to retaliate so they can remove the article and hold it as censorship to make themselves appear like good guys
>they actively want emulation to suffer
>What are clickbait/outrage articles?
How moronic are you homosexuals?
They're right, but at the same time Kotaku and all other game """journalist""" websites deserve to be shut down and this is clearly just clickbait, so frick them anyway.
> Shitaku
Has always been shit. And always will be.
Kotaku is going for the most inflammatory angle to draw as much attention and exposure and it worked against you.
>Is Kotaku based now?
NO, it's just the usual clickbaiting, not targeted on drones.
Thinking about it, isn't nintendo just going to blacklist kotaku and get other related companies to do the same from now on?
Does Nintendo even give review copies? Journalists already hate Nintendo because of Direct.
They do but they have review embargoes until like two days before release
So, yeah, they already hated Nintendo to begin with. If anything, I'd argue that journalists probably have more reason to hate Nintendo than others. At least no one's losing potential revenue from anti-piracy. Well, unless you're one of those buttholes who charges people to use your ROM site.
They released the metroid dread review on the day of release, so unless they binged the entire thing and posted in the same sitting, it's very likely they did.
I checked and it looks like they got a bowser's fury review out a couple of days before launch too, so it looks like they haven't been blacklisted yet.
Will be interested to see if anything comes from this, if they'll not be allowed into prerelease events and whatnot.
Review embargoes that don't lift until a few days before the deadline kinda suck for game journos, and the Direct also makes it even more difficult for them. I'd imagine that most game journos don't really care for Nintendo, even putting aside all their other business practices.
You're probably right, it's possible they don't care for nintendo to the point they don't mind if they cut them off.
I wonder if they're going to be going for hateclicks from now on, it's probably more lucrative than just covering nintendo content, since many other journalist sites do that.
no, now go back
No, Kotaku always shits on a company that doesn't pay them or play ball.
I mean what have they got to lose? It's not like Nintendo can sue them, emulation is legal. Then again, it's always possible that Nintendo could send their ninja yakuza lawyers to harass them into compliance. Kotaku employees seem like they'd break pretty easily.
Presumably nintendo COULD stop giving them review copies, not allow them into events for prerelease stuff, and get other related companies to do the same thing.
I just wonder if they'll consider this inflammatory enough to do so. I'm sure something will happen as a result of this, but it could just be sweeping under the rug kind of thing.
>Kotaku based now?
Yeah we live in a clown world somehow
frick nintendo
Frick mercury steam
No. If anything this reinforces my anti-piracy stance. Buy the fricking game you degenerates. Or what, you're too poor? Pathetic. Get on my level.
>moronic children on Ganker who can't form opinion on their own start calling a community based when they do ONE thing to """BTFO"""" people they don't like even though the community has been spending years doing repulsive shit.
You trully have no integrity and it's disgusting.
>the poorgays on leddit defending the article are the same people that defend Epic Games in their post history
AHAHAHA LITERAL POORgayS BEGGING FOR FREE SHIT
Twitter be like LIGHT WHOLE CITY ON FIRE GOOD FRICK CAPITALISM
BUT
PIRATE GAME BAD
