Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use
Strider@lemmy.world 1 day agoI’m confused by your last paragraph.
Wanting or demanding to own and hack your device does not mean you’re not a big spender.

It certainly doesn’t exclude it. But many people do hack their console to avoid paying for games or to develop emulators that allow people to avoid buying the system itself. And Nintendo certainly seems to be convinced that it happens enough to mater. While I agree there should room to let people tinker and play the way they want, I think Nintendo should also be allowed to try and prevent piracy of their games.

The older I get the more I am sure the ones with that motivation wouldn’t buy much in the first place and it’s more corporate propaganda and fear mongering.
Having someone to blame, take the fall. Politics, basically.
