    Nintendo: Spending money to stop piracy, instead of making money by selling most of the things people are pirating (whether it be classic games not available for sale anywhere, or not porting Switch games to PC despite a huge demand for it).

      It’s an excuse for the profit line not going up and a desperate squeeze for a few more dollars in profit for their quarterly that they hope their investors don’t realize cost more to fight than made so that the cash keeps rolling in.

      This kind of tactic of over punishing the poor relies on the stupidity of the wealthy. I don’t get how they don’t see it as insulting.

        Sure it is!

        See, when water is on something, it’s wet.

        Water is made of molecules, H2O.

        Each molecular is water, in and of itself.

        Ergo, every molecule of water that is in contact with another is wet.

        Water is wet. Individual molecules of dihydromonoxide are not

          At what point is water water though?

          I think the individual molecule is still a water molecule.

          We have reached an impasse it seems, pistols at dawn?

            Monsieur, pistols at noon is the American tradition. High noon.

            However, did you note that you had to specify water molecule to complete your objection? Even in your disagreement, you prove my point! Ha ha! I have parried your thrust and replaced it with my own!

    TBH, I don’t even let myself play things made by nintendo anymore bc they piss me off so much after they killed a lot of the emulator projects. which is funny bc i used to actually BUY things they made, even if i also pirated them so that i could use on pc.
