So now the company will have ~100m extra revenue in the next 3 months? Right? Right?

Good old ”download equals a sale” rhetoric still doing a lot of work in these headlines. It’s been decades.

I have torrented Mario Kart World one thousand times since it launched and have thus cost Nintendo 70,000 dollars. If I can keep up this pace, Nintendo will be bankrupt within the next year or two.

The government fights this hard over labor's lost wages too, right?

So Nintendo is gonna become richer by that amount in just 3 months?

Focusing on the important issues...

Once more for those in the back.

You.

Will.

Not.

Stop.

Piracy.

I love how they always try to pull the same bull that if the only way to obtain something like a ROM was through legal means that these companies would suddenly see a surge of millions more in revenue.

It's just as absurd as the people who say that thoughts and prayers alone will eventually end all school shootings in America.

169,999,930. I was never gonna buy that zelda game anyways. So no money was lost.

These loss figures are always fun. Me pirating a game i would NEVER have played otherwise is not a 50€(with todays game prices, 80€) loss for the company. On the other hand there are games that i pirated first because i wasnt sure it would be worth it for me to buy it and then actually bought it when i decided it would be fun to play and wanted to support the company.

Fuuuuuck Nintendo. No one hates their fans more than Nintendo.

They are bricking brand new consoles, locking their USB ports to approved hardware, charging for the tech demo that would customarily be free on an $800 device. And that's just this year.

How much is that in increased sales due to piracy?

Hey FBI thanks for letting me know about nsw2u cc I had no idea this thing existed...but now I do, so thank you.

seriously though I use the megathread and it has quite literally everything. literally the only good thing to come from reddit.

What losses? Why do these people assume that pirates were ever going to purchase the goods they pirated?

Do they only target torrent sites or something? Because there's places that have been around for decades that are still up and fine.

Bummer, I used that site a lot back when there were actual Switch games I wanted to play. Guess I'll have to get Metroid Prime 4 elsewhere when the time comes!

cc site still works. nsw2u 1 : 0 fbi
