>Why?

Nintendo are stuck in the 90s mentally so they can't understand how to deal with the modern market beyond nostalgia bait.

I ain't one to defend nintendo, but running ads on a site that hosts roms is fucking retarded.

>>15208894

Have to pay server costs somehow.

>>15208902

You do it with discreet donations, not with ads. If people go to the site for roms, and ad revenue is generated, the roms are contributing to the ad revenue pretty directly.

It's the quickest way to get reamed

>>15208911

I guess donations is effective. Either way killing the virtual console is dumb as shit.

If you want to play Nintendo's vintage video games, all you need is a Nintendo Switch online subscription! You can preorder it today from Amazon!

Either because they are preparing a new virtual console. Or the more likely option that their investor board is filled with old bug people who do not understand young people or how the internet works.

>>15209012

Not as far as I know, but apparently its absurdly easy to hack.

Copyright is shit. All entertainment must be free.

>>15209366

Speaking of which, let's say I create a piece of entertainment, like a novel or something, is there a way to be the original author and still register it as public domain as to basically not allow anyone to claim ownership and all that copyright nonsense? or does the author need to die first?

>>15209449

Creative Commons has the CC0 mark.

>Dedicating works to the public domain is difficult if not impossible for those wanting to contribute their works for public use before applicable copyright or database protection terms expire. Few if any jurisdictions have a process for doing so easily and reliably. Laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction as to what rights are automatically granted and how and when they expire or may be voluntarily relinquished. More challenging yet, many legal systems effectively prohibit any attempt by these owners to surrender rights automatically conferred by law, particularly moral rights, even when the author wishing to do so is well informed and resolute about doing so and contributing their work to the public domain.

>CC0 helps solve this problem by giving creators a way to waive all their copyright and related rights in their works to the fullest extent allowed by law. CC0 is a universal instrument that is not adapted to the laws of any particular legal jurisdiction, similar to many open source software licenses. And while no tool, not even CC0, can guarantee a complete relinquishment of all copyright and database rights in every jurisdiction, we believe it provides the best and most complete alternative for contributing a work to the public domain given the many complex and diverse copyright and database systems around the world.

>>15209020

Early models are vulnerable to hacking.

Apparently they are already shipping updated models that fix the paperclip hack and bootROM issue.

>>15209366

Does your mom entertain strangers for free too, comrade?

>>15209552

While his pops is out on the daily commute, his mum's spreadin' her legs to every Clyde, Steve and Cole yonder!

Not the prettiest girl around, but VERY friendly. At least she was to me!

>Remove VC before they sell New and Improved™ totally not VC service.

>While we wait better hit some of those Roms sites to "force" people to buy our shitservice.

It makes perfect sense.

>>15208890 (OP)

Bug people can't into business anon.

>>15209540

I believe the vulns are hardware level, or something to that effect where you can abstract it from the software. So it works with newer firmwares. Again this is just my guess from what I know.

>>15209366

>Copyright is shit. All entertainment must be free.

All copyright should do is prevent someone else to claim your work as their own, tbh.

>>15209562

Underrated. Have a (YOU)

Why doesn't the switch have a web browser? Were they scared of exploits? Don't matter now.

NoA is also parked right in the middle of Seattle, Soy Central of the north west. Its why their employees are all so fucking useless and moronic, only bandwagoning the brand due to nerd culture and "lmao mary-oh ecks dee!"

>>15209366

I guess you live in a world where people doesn't make songs, series (even animated ones), novels, video games, so on so forth.

>>15212697

>Seattle

Nothing good has ever come of this place.

>>15208890 (OP)

Agreed. I guess they realize now the danger that is Raspi pi 3 is because it is so, so much better than vc that now they must have realized that it was useless to have vc because only morons would pay for that shit. Now they want to improve it (making almost as good as pi3 but with much, much less content) and take down the roms that are needed for Retroarch emulation… But they are only 8 years too late for that, i believe. I have at least 2 images at my hd with the entire collection of roms from nintendo, snes, genesis, what is interesting on N64, gb, gba, ds, mame, atari, etc… Anyone who has that can upload back the entire library of those sites minutes after they take down and there must be milions of users who have those images…It's useless to even try to take down these sites. They would profit much more with free ads on these sites with NEW stuff… Nintendo is really dumb…

tbf, I'm going to steal roms anyway. Who pays for roms?

>>15212683

>All entertainment must be free

Then why would anyone produce entertainment?

>>15212683

>All entertainment must be free

Gee, sorry Anon. I really wanted to make that song you like to hear or spend several hours he-hearsing that play you like to watch, but sadly, I need to eat too and factory work doesn't leave much room for pointless shit like "music" or "theater".

Guess you're gonna have to find someone that doesn't have problems with cash and has enough time for all these activities? I heard the Jews might help you out.

You fucking idiot, entertainment should not be seen as a product ever, but it's fucking important to support every entertainer that produces the shit you actually like or they'll just stop making it altogether.

Why the fuck are you applying this shitty reasoning to entertainment when food and shelter are far more basic and important necessities? Shouldn't house and food be free as well? Goddamit stupid priorities you NEETs have.

>>15225280

Good

gotta have some way to justify paying money for peer-to-peer multiplayer

>>15209366

>>15212683

I wonder where you live, i mean, you must be living without paying for bills, taxes, internet, electricity, that sweet computer, food, so on, so forth.

>>15225272

The better question is, why do they deserve my money? Why do pasty skinned, stringwristed keyboard clackers deserve my money? Why do resellers and scalpers deserve my money? Why do filthy rich businessmen deserve my money?

Nintendo thinks they can bide their time by slowly trickling away releases that people actually want instead of giving everyone what they want all at once.

>>15229522

well yeah, that's how it has always worked.

>>15208902

A server isn't that expensive. If you work a decent job doing jack in an air conditioned office 8 to 5, you're making enough to live on and easily pay for dozens of servers.

>>15226812

tl;dr

>>15226352

>The better question is, why do they deserve my money? Why do pasty skinned, stringwristed keyboard clackers deserve my money? Why do resellers and scalpers deserve my money? Why do filthy rich businessmen deserve my money?

Why do you want their product? You sure seem to think the very little about these people, what draws you to desire their creations?

>>15226812

>Exactly because it is not essential. Entertainers have nothing essential to life to demand payment for what they create.

>And as for the industry turning into shit, it already have. There is no point in compensating the pieces of shit in any of the entertainment's industries currently.

>Pirate everything, yes. And let the slaves/entertainers starve to death. There are already enough products to last a whole life.

Again, with this much disdain for the industry, its products, and its practices, what draws you to desire their products? What are the products offering you? Do you pirate games to punish yourself by playing them?

With no praise at all for the industry pirates still desire the products of the industry. It doesn't make sense. To justify piracy every aspect of the industry is attacked, but at that point, if all the attacks are genuine sentiments, the only logical course of action would be to not consume any of their products, regardless of if it is obtained through piracy.

<Why do you pirate

>Fuck you

<That's not an answer

>Fuck off

This appears to be more logical than the justifications I see or hear for piracy.

Furthermore, does piracy hurt the industry? I regularly see claims of the opposite. If this were true then wouldn't pirating in order to reject the industry be counterproductive?

You can't do something claiming it hurts the industry and then turn around and say it benefits the industry when an industry figure attacks piracy through either DMCA or lawsuits.

Well, you can, but that would make whoever does such a thing an abject fraud. A two faced, disingenuous liar.

I bet you'd lick your own urine off a sidewalk for $200

Just saying, but shutting down the virtual console doesn't exactly grant you the right to ROMs. There's no legal obligation for them to give you access to these things. This is where GOOD companies like Sega and Sony differ, after the Bleem situation they just kind of let it go. Whereas Nintendo continues to this day to think that they're god's gift to gaming, and they love to foster the belief that they somehow saved gaming, even though the Sega Master System was out before the NES, and if not for the NES, you'd be saying Sega saved gaming.

>>15230053

The SG-1000 came out the same day as the Famicom

SEGA did save gaming

>>15230057

Yeah well, tell that to all the Nintendo fanboys like James Rolfe, who believe it was solely Nintendo. Also don't forget Nintendo actively soured the milk to spite Sega during the whole Mortal Kombat/Night Trap hearings.

>>15230066

Tell them to ask any European what a video game crash is. As far as I understand they never had one, same with Japan. So, to attribute the end of the crash to a single company that used monopolistic tactics in an attempt to suffocate their competition is completely absurd. Global trends would have seen a resurgence in the industry regardless of Nintendo's anti consumerist business practices leading them to being the only household name of the late 80's in America. If anything one could argue that the manner in which Nintendo conducted themselves did nothing but ultimately poison the industry, and restrict the amount and quality of games released during this time, and potentially even further down the line.

>>15229984

>The games industry is just businessmen and scalpers

<A lot of those businessmen are developers who actually work on their game.

I used to work in retail a decade ago, and a bunch of chinks showed up and camped out in the store with backpacks. They stole a bunch of shit when no one was watching. I'm not saying that everyone who camps out like that in a store are up to something, but yeah it's not just whites who do it.

>>15209366

>Copyright is shit.

Completely true. Intellectual property is a fucking joke.

>All entertainment must be free.

You're retarded.

>>15230909

>To clarify: i am not the anon claiming that piracy does not hurt sales.

I meant that not toward anyone specifically

>Why should i pay for their products that i want (some are fun, and that is enough), if i can try many ways to get it all for free, given that all creators are marxist pieces of shit and don't deserve my money, nor to even be allowed to live?

I'm not going to justify buying games

>I pirate those that i like. I don't have to like their creators, nor care about their well being. But i do care about ruining their lives.

If I had to bet I'd say you're ruining nothing

>It is a pleasant thing to do.

Sure

>It does make sense: we despise the industry, but we will gladly take (for free) whatever rare good products that they make from time to time.

I'm not convinced that "despise" and "enjoy" can apply to the same thing

>And also, one more pleasant thing: it is extremely fun to make more people do the same, while keeping the already good products made, all gotten for free.

I also enjoy sharing

>As for piracy hurting the industry or not, if it does not, then we are just having harmless fun by pirating all products and making more people pirate them, no? Harmless fun that should not trigger anyone, after all, it does not hurt the inudstry.

I want to stress that I am not attacking the act of piracy.

>If it does, then it is a pleasure to do it. So, we can all have fun in ruining the industry because of the subhumans that work on it, along with getting what they create, if it is good.

Sure, but once again it is either one or the other, either hurting or helping the industry.

>If it hursts the industry, good. The marxists kikes and shitskins working on it deserve it.

Why do you take in these peoples propaganda

>If it does not, good. It is just harmless fun.

I want to bring up "despise" again and point to this instance, of which it is not the first, of you enjoying the products of the industry you "despise" which is a rarity as you've said

>Why should i stop to have this much fun?

I never said you shouldn't

>Why should i pay to have fun?

This is an absurd question that completely ignores the core of everything else you were replying to. Why should you pay to go to the amusement park and ride their rides? Why should you charter or purchase a boat for deep sea fishing? Why should you pay for the ability to go skydiving?

This question completely ignores that the conversation is about one specific industry and implies that the entire concept of "fun" is something that is universal in that everything it encompasses should be free from charge.

>>15208890 (OP)

I think Nintendo trying to shut down ROM sites is their attempt at trying to stop the "casual/low effort" users who want to play those (popular) retro game back catalogues by getting them to purchase their own offerings like the Mini NES/SNES or through the Wii U/3DS VC.

While the hardcore crowd will go through any "long effort" to get hardware or source ROMS/emulators from the internet for their own purposes, that crowd won't bother with Nintendo legal offerings because they can usually get a better result (customized controls, multiple save states, possible mods, games that can't be brought).

I have bought rereleases of games from Nintendo but their recent actions did make me more likely to download old games. Is it weird that I draw a line at certain time periods where it is ok to download games? My cut off point used to be "anything before PS1 is ok" but now it has creeped up to "anything Gamecube or earlier is ok".

Impotent mod can't silence me.

Corporations are composed of marxists and deformed kikes, and therefore, must never receive any compensation or support.

It is ok to steal from corporations and jews. Never wrong.

>>15231131

Despising the industry and the shit that works there does not mean that i can't like the entertainment that some of them create. As well as liking their products does not mean that i have to support them. I get everything for free as long as it exists, and if it stops existing, i already have enough , so it is not a problem.

Again, hurting the industry is a bonus, if it does really happen. If it does not, just taking what they create, for free, while bashing them and making people avoid them or pirate their creations, is fun enough to justify doing it.

The whole "making all efforts to pirate something" is as fun as playing a good videogame or watching a good movie

As for their propaganda, i don't take it. But will gladly expose it to ensure that others don't take it. The fact that those subhumans exist t all is a "crime", and their existence is reason enough to ruin whatever they try to achieve.

As for why paying, you have answered yourself:

"This is an absurd question that completely ignores the core of everything else you were replying to. Why should you pay to go to the amusement park and ride their rides? Why should you charter or purchase a boat for deep sea fishing? Why should you pay for the ability to go skydiving?

This question completely ignores that the conversation is about one specific industry and implies that the entire concept of "fun" is something that is universal in that everything it encompasses should be free from charge."

Indeed, why pay? Have fun for free. Fun IS universal and everything it encompasses MUST be free from charge.

Entertainment must be free, and those that create it are just slaves to amuse us.

>>15231179

Even if it is not, that is how the industry sees it. And there is nothing wrong in either pirating or literally (as in, physically) stealing something made by a corporation.

Corporations deserve nothing.

>>15231808

Everything is ok to pirate. Avoid paying for anything in entertainment, at all costs.
