Then they’re all shocked Pikachu that people are so determined to emulate them. You know what games aren’t being jailbroken en masse right now? Steam games. Because the store has been trustworthy since day one. They may break that trust but it hasn’t happened yet.

Not sure I understand the comparison. Steam DRM is easy to remove, and there’s no device to jailbreak as it’s just a PC.

  I think that’s my point, that they’ve built such a easy to use trustworthy store that everyone just buys it because what’s the point of stealing anything from them. Vs Nintendo when that’s the first thing people start working on.

    But everyone doesn’t, piracy is still rampant.

Piracy not a thing from pc games?

Then yeah, preserving games will be as problem, but it’s not a Nintendo specific issue.

Say valve goes under, think you’ll still have games accessible?

As far as know, only gog allows for backup.

  Some Steam games don’t come with any DRM and function like games on GOG.

  It’s a pain to deal with it, just pointing out that there are Steam games that are fully DRM free.

What? Steam’s DRM is so broken that most games are available on pirate sites within minutes of their release.

I mean, PC games are constantly pirated across the world, but Steam has done things right. Switch games somewhat, although the difficulty means it’s not that popular.
