Remember what happened when TPB was "taken down"...good luck Nintendo, until you end your shit practices pirates will exist.
Serious question, why pirate at all? If you (general you, not you specifically) don't like Nintendo's practices don't buy Nintendo games. Period. Just like if you don't like what Musk / Tesla is doing, you don't buy Tesla. (Yes, I went with a car example, and I know it's a very stupid comparison, but that's what popped in my head, maybe because of "You won't download a car" thing).
Nintendo isn't the only one making kid / family friend games. Indie devs are filled with those (i.e if you don't like what other big publishers are doing). Leave Nintendo, and buy those game, so that they can keep making more games. Boycott Nintendo / Pokémon. Why keep yourself attached to their IP?
I am not saying this as a mod here. Just curious about it. We all have limited time, so if we don't like a specific company, why waste time on their product (paid or pirated), when we can spend that on someone else's game that will benefit with more people playing there games. And indie / small devs are make so much good stuff right now.
P.S: This is specifically about pirating Nintendo games because of not liking their practices, cause people have been pirating all kind of games, even from small indie devs, from pretty much the beginning, so not discussing those right now.
P.P.S: Sorry, on rereading, it kind of feels like a rant, but I have already written it, so just going to post it :-)
While I can't really answer your question as I wonder that myself, I have noticed that there exists a surprisingly big amount of people that will just continue buying/pirating and playing games that they generally just hate and games in series that they have hated every game in for over a decade.
Sims and Pokemon have some of the biggest offenders in this from what I have seen. Like in the Sims 4 community you can see people complain and complain about how much they hate the latest expansion and how much the hate Sims 4 and how they are never playing Sims 4 again. And when the next expansion comes out they are there again same thing, just hate hate hate... but they keep playing.
Same in the Pokemon community some people haven't liked a singel game in the franchise sense the 90's but they keep playing and keep complaining over and over again with every new update.
This is such a wierd concept to me, why do you keep spending time and money on something that you dislike so much. Like I get buying a game and not like it and being disappointed it it, that'slife sometimes, but I really don't get buying/playing every game in a franchise or every expansion when you haven't liked it for years.
