Despite proclaiming it does not condone piracy, no one buys games for use on Yuzu. It takes away thousands in revenue from Nintendo.

Should it be taken down?
Yuzu is the inferior alternative anyways so nobody would care.
How is being able to play Switch games at 4k 0.001ms of it releasing on the Switch for free at infinite FPS inferior you absolute Black person?
Because Ryujinx is better
should i even bother if it just works on my machine
NTA but you should test both emulators. The one that works the best for you will always be the best ones Ryujinx just have a better accuracy. But I like the internal keyboard that Yuzu has for their games. No need to use the keyboard, you can just use the controller like a real switch.
>accuracy
man that's fricking crazy i don't care
now that i think about it the piece of shit softlocks zelda sometimes but i cba
first post troon post
Yes, yuzu should be taken down so all the effort goes to Ryujinx instead.
Kidding, I use both emulators.
Prove it
Gambling for children must be protected at all costs!!!
That what you're saying here
>It takes away thousands in revenue from Nintendo.
good, frick nintendo
Yuzu has good user friendly design, ryujinx is more powerful
>ryujinx is more powerful
do people actually believe this? ryujinx is more accurate but yuzu gets better performance
Ryujinx is for people with good hardware.
Yuzu is for brownoid turd worlders running e-waste.
>Ryujinx is for people with good hardware.
Yes, because it runs worse than Yuzu.
Accuracy > "speed"
You filthy, poor, brownoid scum.
Mad
then why don't you buy the console and enjoy the truly accurate 15 fps?
troonyjinx users are delusional
Lmao. You don't know shit about this subject. Accuracy means not using speedhacks to bypass performance limitations which always results in bad graphics or audio.
an emulator will always be less accurate than original hardware so why would you ever use one if you care about accuracy?
For speed you turbo Black person. If you can't run 4K 60fps with Ryu just have a nice day now.
you said "Accuracy > "speed"" two posts ago
Yeah. In terms of accurate display of graphics and audio which speedhacks always frick up.
What are good switch games to pirate?
Any single player game. Except Pokemon because it crashes every 10-15 minutes.
having good time with fe3h right now.
mario odyssey, the zelda games, smash brothers, the pokemon games.
>smash brothers
why would anyone emulate a multiplayer game
No one plays smash for the multiplayer, the online sucks massive wiener on the switch. The most fun you have with those games is playing with friends on couch co-op or just beating the shit out of the AI. which are things you can do with Yuzu. Also, you can have online with emulators, who said you couldn't?
>who said you couldn't?
you certainly can but there's like 3 people playing a specific game
you can play emulated smash and splatoon pretty consistently there's a decent amount of people in there considering it's the only way to play it online on pc, you clearly haven't even tried playing it online calling it a downside when it literally isn't. It's literally there, you can play it, there's no reason to give nintendo money. Specially for their online that is absolutely garbage.
To play locally (or with friends using parsec)
Red dead redemption, Metroid Prime, Super Smash, Pikmin collection and Zelda totk
Red dead can run 60fps on Yuzu
how's it compare to the original versions? been wanting to replay rdr but not enough to get a new console just for it since my old 360 died.
it's the same game, no gyro controls sadly, the only thing that changes are the buttons layout.
I like SMT V, Mad Rat Dead too. God I wish these two were on pc, they are PERFECT for it.
Good.
I've been downloading and re-downloading Nintendo games for years in the knowledge that I'm single-handedly driving them bankrupt.
Nintendo litigated itself into owning keys instead of source code
It's cheaper to buy a used Switch than a PC powerful enough to emulate Switch, what's the point? Not to mention that the shader compilation stutter is infuriating. People say emulating Switch is better because you can get BotW running at 60 FPS, but forget to mention that those 60 FPS is with 5 FPS 1% lows due to this. It's impossible to play it on the go unless you buy a Steam Deck or something similar, but the Switch emulation is so demanding that the cTDP has to be cranked high and the battery life sucks.
>BotW
>Switch
*laughs in 4k240hz BotW on Cemu*
?si=unm_NW_uB98fOfJ_
I followed this build guide for a $500 PC and now I have one that plays Baldur's Gate and starfield on high at 60fps.
Okay, but a used Switch Lite can be bought for $100 if you really look for it.
>Eh. I already had a PC. There'll never be a point where I don't have a PC as well.
I have a PC too, but it's a business mini PC with a 4th gen i3 and integrated graphics. It does all of the things I expect of a PC and it actually runs really well since I upgraded it with an NVMe SSD (it has an M.2 slot, amazingly enough) and 16 GB of RAM, so I don't feel the need to upgrade, but it's certainly not powerful enough to emulate Switch well. But even assuming it could, I also want to be able to play on the go in handheld mode. So really the cheapest option is the Steam Deck, which is bulky as frick and the battery dries quickly. It's also much more expensive than a Switch Lite.
>Not everyone was 5 years old in 2010. We had computers, we've had laptops and we didn't grow up with smartphones and cheap tablets in our hands. There's a sizeable group of people who have always been into owning a computer.
Well, I grew up with a PS2 and I like the idea of having a separate device just for playing games that simplifies the process makes me waste less time.
That's as much as a Switch Lite costs just for a single component.
>Well, I grew up with a PS2 and I like the idea of having a separate device just for playing games that simplifies the process makes me waste less time.
Yeah, no time wasted for me to play games.
It's downloaded/disc is in the drive and I click on a menu and it's up and running.
Usually saves time compared to a dedicated device too, no needing to charge it if it's a handheld shit like the switch or 3ds. Don't have to go through the bios or sit through long menus & splash screens.
No need to change my TV over to the input or plug in any cables, PC's already there, can just use a shortcut to switch display if it's not already on.
Actually pretty convenient all told.
>It's cheaper to buy a used Switch than a PC powerful enough to emulate Switch, what's the point? N
Eh. I already had a PC. There'll never be a point where I don't have a PC as well.
>Not to mention that the shader compilation stutter is infuriating
Sure it is but improvements have been made over the years so doesn't bother me as much now.
idk, just kinda small minded to leap in with the cheaper to buy a used switch thing. Not everyone was 5 years old in 2010. We had computers, we've had laptops and we didn't grow up with smartphones and cheap tablets in our hands. There's a sizeable group of people who have always been into owning a computer.
a fricking GTX 1080 is like $100 shut up moron
>Powerful PC
What do you mean?, my shitty ryzen 5600 can run yuzu and the new zelda
>ryzen 5600
>shitty
that's a very powerful CPU
Sorry, i meant 5600g
that's literally one of the best CPUs on the market you piece of shit ungrateful Black person. you can play tripple A games on that baby without a dedicated GPU. I hope yours blows up from you disrespecting it so much homosexual.
>only 4gb of vram
C'mon man is not that great, but works wonderfuly on emulators
you absolute moron, AMD cpus with integrated graphics are supposed to be used without a gpu they use your ram as vram dumb ass. If you're using it with a gpu like a moron limiting it to 4gb don't call the CPU shitty dumb ass, you're the moron in the story. moron.
5600g is a rebranded 3600 with a gt1030-tier apu, crap
5600 is like 30% faster
and? It's still one of the best CPUs on the market. You can play literally any triple A game without a dedicated GPU with it at a decent FPS. It's definitely not the top of the line CPU in terms of top of the line performance but for budget/normal PC builds it's literally one of the best.
gaming-wise
3600 is bottom tier right now
5600 is mid
7600 is high
7800x3d is top end
starfield recomends a 2600 you're literally out of touch and delusional.
didn't know linus tech tips posted on four chan, what's up linus?
who are you calling out of touch? I only use a threadripper in my system so that microsoft Word loads faster okay, I need to write my shitty youtube scripts and apology letters faster. It's for work okay I am not out of touch!!!. What do you mean putting 4 laptops with rtx 4080s in a mini van doesn't make me relatable??? I AM LINUS I AM NOT OUT OF TOUCH STOP IT BUY MY OVERPRICED SCREW DRIVER!!!!
Tom's Hardware did the minimum specs and could barely get 30FPS on medium.
so the same performance current gen consoles get? meaning the 2600 is still current gen performance literally. God your tech bros from cringe forums are so out of touch.
30FPS at low is pathetic, Anon.
medium, not low. Medium pc is console graphics and consoles run at 30 so it's current gen no matter how you twist it. Yeah I know we like to act like we're all pc master race and all that bullshit but the reality is that 90% of pc players are still on a 2600 cpu and equivalent with a gtx 1650, the steam hardware survey doesn't lie.
Point is, if you think a 3600 is "low tier" you're beyond out of touch, unironically have a nice day. That shit can run any game at 60 fps still while the gen before it the 2600 is STILL relevant pulling 30 on games that just released. Please stop watching tech youtubers, it's rotting your brain moron.
how does it feel to win an argument on the internet?
>picrel
>+1.37% 3060
>-0.31% 1650
rip, the 1650 got dethroned.
that's probably from cs2 coming out, a lot of people upgrading. My point still stands, but with a 3060 instead.
>equivalent with a gtx 1650, the steam hardware survey doesn't lie.
3060*
30FPS at Medium is still very pathetic.
60FPS maximum is also extremely pathetic.
But I understand that poor third worlders like yourself need a cope. Enjoy your 720p, or whatever other tragically impoverished-tier setup you have to suffer through.
>blah blah blah blah I need to brag about the fact I spent too much money on mah computer to feel special
this is what brainrot looks like. I have a decent pc years beyond any minimum specs for years to come. The difference between you and me is that I'm not a moron like you, I realize that MOST PEOPLE do not care and just want that once CPU or GPU that will run the game at an
okay FPS, and at the end of the day those people are the ones that decide what current gen is.
>bla bla bla I need to brag about the fact that I can't afford to spend more than the bare minimum on mah hobby and need to cope
Just admit you're jealous that some of us can run maxed out settings at 4k120+ and you can't.
What's the matter? Gonna cry? Piss your pants?
60FPS looks like a slideshow and 30FPS is a blurry mess.
Pathetic b***h. Stop talking to your betters like you're a person when you're just a worm.
>60FPS looks like a slideshow and 30FPS is a blurry mess.
moron
Subhuman with shit-tier genetics.
moron
he probably bought le meme high refresh rate monitor that actually looks like absolute garbage if you're not running the game at exactly 120 fps or more. No other reason someone would unironically act like 60 fps is a "slideshow". It's unironically brainrot caused by tech youtubers.
>he can't run all his games at 120fps minimum
lmao ngmi
found a picture of you rn
>you're jealous that some of us can run maxed out settings at 4k120+
he says as literally not a single pc configuration currently no matter how expensive can run new releases at 4k 120 fps
god tech morons are so delusional it's not even funny anymore.
how out of touch with reality can you be omg.
Who the frick plays slop like Starfield?
>that one doesn't count
I accept your concession
A PC can do more things than just playing switch games, mongoloid
most PC gamers already own "a PC powerful enough to emulate Switch" by simply... being people who play modern PC games
More like what's the point in buying a Switch
breath of the wild takes like 40 hours to complete at minimum. You will experience shader stutter for maybe 25 minutes of that, while enjoying higher resolution, framerate, shadow resolution, texture LOD and QOL mods for the rest of it.
Not to mention you can download a shader cache and then get no stutter.
>no one buys games for use on Yuzu
Wrong. I did.
I had a switch that I bought a month after launch that died a few years back. I was originally going to trash it and sell but then they announced some exclusives like SMT V that I had wanted to play.
Only problem was my switch was dead, would cost too much to repair for a couple of games that I infrequently play and emulation was doing okay.
So I buy a game then I "pirate it" and play it on Yuzu/Ryujin. Not a massive deal, some RPGs are releasing there still too. Works for me.
I held out for a refreshed console for a long time but at the end of the day they never did it and I had access to better input methods & control over my settings on PC.
Sorry 'tendo. Time to step up your fricking game.
I wish Ganker had a recommended Switch games infographic.
That's still illegal. You have to dump the games yourself for it to be legal.
Yeah. Suck my dick 'tendo.
I'll dump the game when you repair my console. Not happening? Fair enough.
Get suckin'.
I bought the game, take me to fricking court.
>take me to fricking court
They could, but they won't because you don't hurt their bottom line hard enough
No it shouldn't but emugays are obnoxious
REAVE MURTI MIRROON DORRA COMPANY ARONE
Yes. We all know its used for piracy, as emulators have always been. Sorry children, you are not entitled to a game just because you exist.
WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE MULTIBILLION DOLLAR TRIPLE A GAME COMPANY???
It takes away 0 revenue from nintendo, the people emulating are not lost sales, they would never buy a switch and the games to begin with. They're just more voices to the chorus about how good nintendo games are. they may become buyers on their own after the fact, but they're not taking any money since there's nothing that would be given it didn't exist
shut up
>It takes away 0 revenue from nintendo,
And that's a bad thing
[Citation needed]
The lengths people are going through in this thread are hilarious. I'll state some facts:
Yes, it's 99% used for piracy. Everyone knows this, the people who make yuzu know this, they just have to play dumb for legal reasons. Nintendo WOULD take this down, if they could. But they can't. Lastly, I don't see emulating games you can no longer buy or that you already bought as "piracy" but downloading new 60/70 dollar games for free is basically stealing. None of that matters though because it simply is the way it is.
>but downloading new 60/70 dollar games for free is basically stealing
Software copyright is a spook and you're moronic. Nobody can own information thus it's impossible to steal information.
>crank game prices to 60/70
>rarely if ever release demos like the good old days
how is anyone supposed to know if something is good/'for them' when the buy in is so high and there's no ability to get any realistic sense of the game beforehand
Nintendo should just put their games on PC already. People are pirating their games because they run like shit on switch
nintendo does not deserve revenue for their shitty practices. frick their greedy remasters and their shitty games that run at 15 fps with ugly post processing effects to hide it.
keep buying it, zelda dick suckers. keep paying 60 bucks for your baby puzzles where you light a path of leaves on fire and put the sphere in the circle hole
>half the puzzles in God of War are the fire and item hole shit
>also every other xbox adventure
anon are you a pcmr moron? not defending the tendies here but sadly every fricking action-adventure game does this homosexualry nowadays
Kek. Please. Only a couple thousand people pirated TOTK. One of the biggest releases this year.
Only a couple hundred thousand lost to piracy. You stupid frickface.
TOTK still made 15+ million. Why do you even care? Do you work for Nintendo?
Again, you are entitled to play the game simply because you exist. Piracy is a moral wrong.
You're damn right I am entitled to running whatever string of bytes I want on my computer, try and stop me.
Oy gevalt, a couple thousand in lost sales
Those stupid goyim are costing of hundreds of thousands by pirating
Yuzu will be hearing from our lawyers for those 6 gorillion dollars stolen from us
I would never buy a nintendo console or a nintendo game anyway since I will never support those japajews. So me pirating their games is literally not stealing. It's not like me downloading that copy prevents someone that actually wants to buy the game from doing so. Stop defending the billion dollar israelite company Black person and have a nice day.
>It takes away thousands in revenue from Nintendo.
should take more
After Switch 2 releases, Nintendo will join Xbox and PS4 in unemulatable consoles. You homosexuals will no longer exist.
>Should
Stopped reading there.
Nintendo ninjas are on route to your location
>there.
stopped reading there
It's not like Ganker isn't unknown, so couldn't Nintendo trace the IPs of people that brag with screenshots of their pirating collection and gameplay
PCs should be banned. They are the biggest piracy platform by far and take away millions in revenue from Apple.
Apple?
PCs illegally steal millions of Mac and iPhone sales.
I always preach this. We should destroy all PCs for pedestrian use and the internet should be regulated 24/7 by the government.
>Should it be taken down
No, stop baiting anon
>no one buys games for use on Yuzu
That's not how this works. For all you know I buy three copies for every game I emulate, and you can't claim otherwise.
@FBI
@Nintendo
DO SOMETHING
>It takes away thousands in revenue from Nintendo.
Good.
if nintendo puts zelda on pc with 120 fps i will pay full price for it. until then i will pirate. nintendo chooses to throw away millions by not releasing games on pc, that's not my problem
If they don't want me to pirate their shit how about they make a console worth fricking buying.
>buy a 70$ + season pass for $200
or
>take everything for free of no consequence
see how fricked up that is (the second part)
Americans are taught to be good little consumers first and foremost.
>americans
more like any normal human being taught right from wrong, good and evil. Stealing =/= evil, so you are going to Hell for piracy.
I'm not stealing shit as I wouldn't have bought it in the first place. Pirated copy does not equal a missing legitimate copy.
>i wouldn't have bought it in the first place
THEN YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS OWNING THE NSP
>ur going to hell for stealing my corpo daddy tendos softwares!!!!
I love sucking corporation wiener XD
>goldenx86 is back at shilling this trash paypig emulator
Patreon must be dipping right?
I think writing emulators for systems and games that are still being produced is morally wrong.
You cold just go out and buy them.
I support emulation for rare and out of print games tho. Frick paying scalpers.
I am not playing $60 or $70 games on my OLED TV at 480p 15 fps, I bought Age of Calamity and that was my exact experience, frick your shit console
Most people who pirate wouldn't have bought the game if piracy wasn't an option
why do you care, OP? do you own nintendo or something?
basic human decency
>It takes away thousands in revenue from Nintendo
based
Yeah nice try wagie, I'm sure your japanese overlords sent you here to try to build a case against Yuzu. Frick off and tell them to die.
When Nintendo allows me to play at 60FPS Ultrawide then it I will stop, otherwise eat shit and give us a better product.
why are tendies like this?
it should be illegal that we've come from emulating a few old commercial games to emulating modern games pre-release
stop releasing "modern" games on a platform with obsolete hardware? (and asking the same price as actual modern games, no less). nintendo deserves to get fricked by piracy.
what are you saying, Nintendo should release their games on PC officially? Frick no.
How do you define obsolete hardware though?
Just because it's less powerful doesn't mean it's obsolete.
Unless you're gonna tell me you have another native way of playing nintendo games.
Zoomers think anything but the best is the worst.
Not the leader in sales? Might as well not exist.
Not the highest performing parts? You shouldn't buy it.
Nothing sets the poorgay brownoid scum on this board off more than saying you play at something higher than 1080p60 lmao
Your monitors probably don't even support fricking VRR! KEK
How does Nier:Automata runs on yuzu/ryujinx? Or should i go straight for the PC version and be done with it?
>It takes away thousands in revenue from Nintendo.
Good, frick them. Until they make a product that is unrefutably good without huge moronic asterisk that don't need to be there they deserve it.
People like you should not be on Ganker.

should our threads be nuked as not vidya?
It doesn't take away anything because I wouldn't have purchased their games either way
>ban ruZZian war criminals' access to eshop and make them unable to get new games
>they just emulate the games for FREE and go unpunished
how is this fair? emulators should be banned
I'm not stealing this girls virginity, I didn't even really want to take it anyway!
>I'll just pirate your boypussy
Emulators have been a thing for decades anon. Even when SNES and Genesis were fresh they had emulators such as ZSNES and Gens. There was even a court case over emulation from Sony towards the Bleem! developers. Developers won but they ended up having to shutdown the project over paying legal fees to the defense (because only tiny hat people win in court cases in the end).
Regardless, emulation is fair game regardless of whether it's old or current hardware.
It's fine, pc poorgays have no games so they need actual good video games and nintendo provides them for free. They need something else than walking sims and indie shovelware.
japanese walking sims and indie shovelware?
you do know the switch costs like less than half of the price of the most entry GPU which is one part of a pc right? you're not that stupid right?
>no one buys games
stop u silly
goes to show that nintendo is the only one that actually has enough games to be worth playing that even the people who hate nintendo wants to play their games
have people tried Steam Deck with yuzu or ryujinx? wonder why would anyone even get a switch at that point
I can play every nintendo game that was ever made for free, you absolute Black folk
Take down deez nuts.
How do you buy games for yuzu?
you buy a physical copy of the game, then you unpack it on from the Switch you own to yuzu. that's legal. Anything else should warrant execution.
Will you be doing the executions yourself?
Shut the frick up homosexual nintendo dick sucker
Emulation will NEVER be banned because it is vital for business. Nintendo itself must use a lot of emulators because internally they must use spreadsheets, databases, etc., written in Cobol for, I don't know, Japan's equivalent of the Commodore 64. If they used fricking Windows 98 to provide infrastructure for the players, so just imagine how behind they are internally.
The Japs are autistic as frick about certain things. It wouldn't surprise me if they hired code monkies to port ancient Cobol to something new.
The only ones that are incompetent enough to make an emulator for their games is Sony
actually it's free advertising. I'd never buy a nintendo console but I wanted to play both of the nu-zelda games when they came out and two people that I know of bought a switch from my reccomendation of zelda, even though I told them how easy it is to emulate. My point is, there are people who will always emulate/pirate and there are people who will always buy, none of it matters really
>it's free advertising
it's not if you have no intent to pay up after liking what you took. Most people settle with "ill keep the NSP but not pay"
you don't get my point, i would never buy a nintendo console but by playing their games i can tell people they're good if they are and they might buy it
>Steam deck vs Switch
>Ryujinx vs Yuzu
Why this board has so many autists?
Believe it or not, I often buy Switch games, keep them sealed and then play it on the emulator on my PC. That's what I did with Pikmin 4.
That's weird but to preserve the game or just to play it on 4k?
>le no revenue for corporation is GOOD!
when no one eventually buys games and the companies go under, where do the video games come from
there's a reason Nintendo struck up a deal with Denuvo
they're definitely looking to protect themselves on their new hardware
Oh well. It'll bite them in the ass and they can figure out why one of the reasons the Vita did so poorly.
>switch2 has denuvo
>all of the increased hardware specs is ate up by running denuvo in the background
>games still look like ps3-era titles running at 720p30
sasuga
It's easier to code for a system which all hardware is the same.
Denuvo kills PC gaming because PC gaming is what it is, some people have huge trouble with denuvo and others run their games fine.
I'm not saying it won't be shit, but it could be better.
Doesn't Denuvo do constant checks in the background, which is how it's so hard to crack? Seems like this is a way to murder your microSD cards.
What makes you think it'll work exactly the same for something that might be a different form of protection?
Besides, Denuvo doesn't work in just one way, and there's a few versions.
I don't know. I just know Denuvo on PC harms your SSD/m.2 drives by wasting read/writes on checks. Who knows. It might get cracked by emulators, it might not. It could take years before we see any meaningful progress on a followup Switch emulator, as well. For all we know all it'll do is make the hardware requirements bloat to such a degree that x86 will be on it's way out before Switch's successor can be run at full speed.
Or it might not.
Console version of denuvo probably works like those old anty piracy checks that some DS games had. It's easier to make something like that for consoles because you have just one hardware to code for. PC unfortunately they need to have things running in the background.
Anti piracy checks*
I'm not sure how that's going to work? because I'm thinking a basic hardware check is all it takes to bypass denuvo on the switch/2.
unless they're hoping emu devs implement copyrighted code in order to request takedowns, which makes them doubly stupid since it's basically going to work like bios files. it's up to the end user to supply them.
Nintendo autists are built different, emulators for Nintendo consoles always took like 2 years after the console came out, Jailbreaks came out even faster.
Denuvo is "uncrackable" because most people just don't care about the newest goyslop enough. A lot of pirates are third worlders that have ancient hardware than can't even run those games.
Also before anybody cries about the third worlder comment, I pirate myself but take one look at any piracy related forum and tell me that most aren't indian subhumans
I use Yuzu for modding/better graphics and my physical switch for portable
>It takes away thousands in revenue from Nintendo.
God I fricking wish.
Why are tendies such corporate bootickers?
They don't care about you, Black person.
Another falseflag bait post by either a snoy or a PC vegan
they should just install spyware into their games that activate on non-official software and tracks pirates down
The only acceptable reason to give a shit about a company's revenue is if you're holding stocks/options in it. Everything outside of that is pure autism.
Is it just me or Bayonetta 3 cutscenes still run like ass in both emulators?
It always tickles me when you people try to find ways to justify piracy. Just admit you are moral scum and own up to it.
Nah, if anything, we should execute corporate wienersuckers.
Because that would make you feel better about being poor?
saudi arabia literally executes or imprisons you for life for tweeting. We need to enforce penalties like that for piracy, then people will be too spooked
>pirate game you wouldn't have bought
>company makes $0 from you
>don't pirate game
>company makes $0 from you
There is literally no difference. They don't GAIN money from you NOT pirating. They are not losing anything if you wouldn't have bought it otherwise.
They lose potential profit they would recoup on development and especially advertising costs. I don't care either way and neither should pirates but they do lose something.
Pardon the food analogy, but it's part of the reason why the name brand stuff costs more. You're paying the extra for their marketing and "research" while the store brand just exists alongside it.
What potential profit? Where is the potential profit in his scenario?
>you pay more for market and "research" for name brands
Oh no no no no.
Price is a marketing ploy in of itself. You find the right price to put your brand where you want it to be. People will assume something that costs more often does so because it's 'premium.'
Take running a bar, for example;
You could afford to sell beer for $1.50 a bottle, or you could sell beer for $3.50 a bottle. But if you sell for $1.50 a bottle, you get the $1.50 a bottle crowd. If you sell for $3.50 you get the $3.50 a bottle crowd.
Why do you think Nintendo never does deep cuts on their games? Because they don't want to be known as the "budget/bargain" game system. They don't sell "cheap crap" that's why old titles are still full price. It's a ploy. It makes people think that it must be good if it's still selling for so much. Instead of thinking it must be crap if it's going for so cheap.
The potential profit was in the consumer of the game paying for it. The pirate chose to consume for the price of $0. I didn't saying they're losing anything tangible, just potential.
>Oh no no no no.
I said part of the reason. Not the only reason.
Im not paying for Pokemon until is made better than a Zelda game
Should or shouldn't literally doesn't matter. If nintendo could take it down, they would. That's why the Black folk focus on trying to drop nukes on rom sites and fan remake projects instead.
Case law for the emulators is already settled as long as emu authors watch their asses though. Nintendo can't do shit unless, and tendies just gotta deal while the world laughs at them.
