Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock. Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock update warns of bricked consoles for unauthorized use to combat emulation and piracy. In a bold and somewhat controversial move, Nintendo has updated its user agreement policies to clamp down on piracy, unauthorized modifications, and emulation—introducing a clause that could allow the company to render
They’re trying to slow-boil you into having to play exclusively by their rules. In a couple years they’ll want to forbid you from having the console in your home, you’ll only be allowed to use it in official Nintendo-branded Play Rooms located at select locations. They’ll cost $20/hr to use, and you have to buy the console first.
There is really no benefit to relieving your ignorance
If I leave you in the dark, I am badwrong for not doing free labor for you
If I answer your question, I just get my inbox flooded with people looking to argue for no good reason.
They lost a license on an old all in one game in the late 80s because they did not defend it rigorously enough in court. You won’t be able to find an article about it b/c all legal nintendo case searches get caught on the Palworld and Wii U controller court cases even if you change the date ranges.
I don’t know what the name of the unit was, it was never released outside of Japan. IIRC it was a tank simulator game with the console built into a controller that looked like a little turret on a pivot and used the same tech as eventually went into the nintendo light gun
The reason nintendo so aggressively pursues emulation is that they are scared of losing the rights to things like their bios files.

There is, because you’re not enlightening one person, but at least 28 by the looks of it. You could’ve been part of a teaching moment to the equivalent of a classroom full of people.

You get the same or worse by making shit up like blaming everyone for not investing time and energy into every event out there like it’s our job to find out what everyone’s doing in detail. The sheer quantity of events happening by the day is overwhelming. You can help save so much time by giving a quick rundown instead, or better yet, link to a credible source with an explanation.
I am badwrong for not doing free labor for you
It’s not free labor, but technically part of the burden of proof and part of the spirit of cooperation. You are responsible for the basic explanation or the citation of your sources so that you can be understood. Pushing this onto others is skimping out on due labor instead by being an uncivilized gremlin.
oh no a japanese video game giant is doing nasty, anti consumer things to maximise profits. Truly terrible and sad that nintendo is forced to be terrible by evil gamers or whatever.
And you dont find it weird that not all companies in japan go bankrupt because they have to literally claw back devices after sale to keep their patents? I know us autists can get stuck on ideas easily but do you see how their behavior is overzealous at best and this explanation being plain apologist bs at worst?
I mean, you do advertise that you’re perpetually angry but youre just rude and disrespectful. Your vague reproaches arent anything to work with, in case you really didnt know that. It like screaming "do your own research’ when certain groups are unhappy with science. Thats not how people function, it is ableist and unbecoming. Please do better.
Japan has very strict IP laws, nintendo lost out on licensing in the past because of this, so they pursue all infringement aggressively so they aren’t judge as not sufficiently defending their ownership.
But it doesn’t really matter to you or the thousands of other people who post this because you don’t really want to be educated and just want to be rewarded for your clever words.
Japanese IP laws are no more strict than other major blocs due to trade agreements. Nintendo has never “lost out on licensing” due to IP laws. Beginning in the 1980s, they have been extremely and aggressively litigious as a matter of company policy. They literally see everything they produce as theirs… you don’t own the things you “buy” from them. You pay them for the enjoyment of using their things. They’re about as hardcore neoliberal as it gets. In other words, they seem evil because they are evil.
I mean, fuck Japanese IP laws, but also fuck Nintendo for trying to gaslight us into pretending everything is normal and standard. Nintendo of America is not in fucking Japan. They play by American rules with American audiences, and Americans will bitch about their practices.
You don’t sell a Chevy Nova in Mexico and call it a Nova. Adapt to the region you sell to.
Is Nintendo mad at us? I know it’s a business, but it’s like they’re trying to top themselves with every announcement.

Literally none of you understand why nintendo is doing this
Care to enlighten us?

Explain why Sony, as another Japanese company that builds consoles, is not doing the same, please.

Sicko garners playing their games.

I fucking told you and you didn’t listen. How about you go do your own work instead of constantly demanding free labor from others?
I mean, you do advertise that you’re perpetually angry but youre just rude and disrespectful. Your vague reproaches arent anything to work with, in case you really didnt know that.

You did exactly what I predicted, exactly why I hate the modern internet. I even told you I hated it but YOU STILL DID IT ANYWAY
I am not the asshole in this situation, bud
Japan has very strict IP laws, nintendo lost out on licensing in the past because of this, so they pursue all infringement aggressively so they aren’t judge as not sufficiently defending their ownership.
But it doesn’t really matter to you or the thousands of other people who post this because you don’t really want to be educated and just want to be rewarded for your clever words.
You’re answering the questions, but then you’re also throwing in these odd misanthropic asides. Is this a bit?
I appreciate your insights into Japanese IP law and Nintendo biz lore in this thread.
Damn, you really are angry.

At this point, I’m just calling this an excuse.
I mean, fuck Japanese IP laws, but also fuck Nintendo for trying to gaslight us into pretending everything is normal and standard. Nintendo of America is not in fucking Japan. They play by American rules with American audiences, and Americans will bitch about their practices.
