Comment on Nintendo Wins $2 Million Lawsuit Against 'MiG Switch' Distributor
donuts@lemmy.world 1 week agoThe correct business model is to be cheaper and more convenient than piracy.
Convenient? Yes. Cheaper? How? Piracy is almost always free or requires a one-time purchase.

These days you are insane if you aren’t using a VPN and many people have seedboxes or usenet subscriptions on top.
But yeah. It is mostly a nonsense stance built on a misunderstanding of what companies, particularly GoG/CD Projeckt, have talked about in the past. The idea that they specifically built their product around being a better product than the black market.
What people forget is that GoG wasn’t meant to compete with the pirate bay. It was meant to compete with bootleggers selling burned games at the local mall. That is a populace that is actually willing to spend money but didn’t have an opportunity to do so. Rather than someone who “will buy it if I like it after a few hundred hours”.
