This, as well as vilifying emulation (despite admitting that legal emulation exists), patenting basic game mechanics, and cracking down on a charity, have shown me that Nintendo is just pure evil.
I just bought a switch 2 and it just transferred all my switch 1 games over without even asking me
Corporation wants all your money and do no work for it. What a shocker.
What.
You buy a new switch, log into your account, and download them. Or put your physical games into the new Switch.
You’re describing every console ever, but blaming Nintendo specifically. Why?
Isn’t this referring to the progress you have made in a specific video game?
because they’d rather blame a company they never liked anyway than admit the problem is systemic
Im going to ignore you sounding like a Nintendo rep and say that I think the poster assumes your account is locked to the console itself, which after I just checked (because that would be crazy if that was the case) is not the case but that console is considered a ‘primary console’ and that designation would have to be transferred to a different one in the event your current one breaks. I don’t think the OP knows this (and as I don’t own one myself, i didn’t initially either)
and that’s why the only thing i don’t pirate is music, because they actually did well with music. Everything else, i sail the seas. You buy stuff and 1) they can just take it away if they lose the rights to it, and 2) the DRM is bullshit.
because they actually did well with music.
I don’t even know what the fuck this is referring to
In addition to what else they said, (depending on the service) you can just download an actual music file and copy it onto as many drives as you like, almost like you own it or something. This is how video and games should work also, especially with regard to lack of exclusivity.
it means that there’s none of this “exclusive” shit. You sign up to a platform based on the features of the software and other reasons like how much they pay artists, not by what content they host. It’s the same on every platform. Plus it’s a lot easier to manage on a paid platform than it is to download music. You get a world of content for a relatively small price.
They go after emulation because all the times they tried to go after debugging tools used to dump roms and copy games, they lost. Even if they win their arguments against emulation, it wouldn’t stop the process of copying the game just the part where you could play it. And then it would also bite them in the ass because they themselves use emulation to continue to sell you shit from the 80’s.

The good guys at Nintendo all retired. It’s being run by a venture capital guy now.
