  • ZeniMax staff lambast chaotic Xbox layoffs: 'It's difficult to work when you're looking at a graveyard'

  • I think MS could surpass EA as a biggest publisher after they bought ActiBlizz, you could extract couple of game companies out of them. At this point I’m wondering why they haven’t sold it to Oracle or Tencent just to get more coal for their AI money pits.

  • Ori studio's focus on PS5 over Xbox for next game isn't a "shakedown" but "common f*cking sense", says CEO

  • It’s the budget pick. Series S sells multiples of Series X and GamePass is cheap. We live in the age of overabundance of all kinds of media so there’s is crapload of games, and exclusive situation doesn’t look that bad compared to PS5, mostly because PS5 is bad too. I went with XSX because of the looks but that was before Microsoft went insane.

  • „It” is probably a stab in the back, if companies were capable such things. Microsoft published their previous games as Xbox exclusives so it’s safe to assume some kind of relationship existed. Microsoft stabbed lots of their employees in the back recently.

  • Nintendo can disable your Switch 2 for piracy in the U.S., but not in Europe, as confirmed by its EULA

    Jump

  • From Nintendo’s point of view hacked device is a hacked device. Whether you use it to pirate or hack in multiplayer, they don’t really care, you’re not supposed to do either and they take that device off their network. I usually pay for games because second hand market exists but I also won’t condemn piracy because some can’t afford even that. It’s the expectation that a company like Nintendo has to take it under the guise of consumer protection that I find funny, bad political takes too.

  • You can still play your Switch games online after getting banned using LDN bridges. The best way to avoid getting banned from a Nintendo service is not to hack your device.

  • Say you get VAC banned, your entire library can’t play VAC multiplayer games. If you hacked in Splatoon you buy a new Switch but your library is retained.

  • They are denying you access to the service rather than your hardware. I prefer how Nintendo goes about it (locking hacked device) compared to Valve or Sony where your entire game library gets locked. As someone with a banned Switch I think that’s fair, I can pirate things on it anyway. Nobody said piracy has to be easy and I enjoy a bit of cat and mouse.

  • That would limit voting to maybe 5-10% of people. It’s funny how quickly people oppose democracy the moment their political football team loses.

  • Those are entirely legal while the article implies there is some legal gray area involved.

    I know it’s cool to dunk on Nintendo and sometimes it’s an actual moral obligation but I prefer not to lose sight of facts. There’s lots of bad PR against Nintendo lately, mostly based on unverified claims of anonymous people. It gets tiring that journalists mediaworkers care only about clicks.

  • Those are good reasons when considering ethics of piracy in general but not legality. For me ethics angle is thrown out of the window the moment profit is involved however and I’m pretty sure that guy was doing videos for ad money.

  • The problem is the game ROMs on these devices, which are not entirely legal.

    In what part are they legal?
