  Why is everyone pretending like they have a right to play Nintendo games? Nintendo says they want $X, you say their game isn’t worth $X, so you get something different instead. What’s the problem?

    It’s not a flea market. It’s a company that targets kids. Their prices are ludicrous, and will end up in another 3DS moment.

      I rather hope for a PS Vita moment.

      How does any of this make a difference?

      Also for a company targeting kids there sure are a lot of whiny adults in these conversations.

    You are comparing removing a physical object from a person to copying some data onto a flash drive.

      Do you want to be the kind of guy that gets a portrait commissioned of yourself, get a watermarked preview version, then balks at the price the artist asks for, reject the work, refuse to pay the artist, AND THEN use the watermarked preview version for your profile picture anyway?

        A better analogy would be if I printed out a copy of a painting I like.

        I don’t control which games Nintendo makes. If I did, we’d have a sequel to Majora’s Mask and Mario Galaxy 3.

      Are you saying that the data has no value just because you can’t touch it?

        If it had no value then no one would want it.

    they are literally behaving like apple.

    and if theres no eu to regulate them fast enough, there will be free feast (keep in mind consuming games is very present in the culture of society in 2025) for predatory practices like price gauging or denying accessibility through emulation. Whats next, paying for voice chat? and after that, id verification and giving up all data rights for that as requirement to boot the consoles? all that while literally doing this in the most aggressive forms
