I wouldn't have known about this if not for the take down, now I am interested in purchasing a Steam Deck.

- threeseed 5y agoIf people were showing you how to bypass Steam and download games for free do you really think Valve wouldn't use DCMA to have it removed ? Because I can't think of any business who would tolerate this.
- snvzz 5y agoFalse equivalence. These videos aren't showing how to download games for free.
- LeoPanthera 5y agoEmulation, unlike software piracy, is not illegal.
- kevinh 5y agoI seriously doubt they would. Gabe Newell, Valve's owner, has talked about how piracy is a service problem. Steam is wildly successful even though most of the games on the service either have no DRM or Steam's easily cracked one. There's also a YT video from over a year ago with over 250k views with a title about pirating games, which I imagine would've gotten taken down if Valve cared since it references Steam specifically.
- Karsteski 5y agoI can easily pirate most games on Steam. I don't, because they provide a good service and I believe game creators should be paid for their work. I will never buy another Nintendo game or device because they are very anti-consumer in too many ways that are off-putting to me, and I don't like buying locked down hardware. So emulation on the Steam Deck it is :)
- remram 5y agoYou could always play on PC with the same emulator. If you want a handheld device to play Switch games, the Switch is lighter and cheaper (though I suppose you'll have to pay for the games).
- tenuousemphasis 5y agoThere are orders of magnitude more games available for emulation than are playable on the Switch. Nintendo has really dropped the ball on making their back catalog available legitimately.
- kobalsky 5y ago> Nintendo has really dropped the ball on making their back catalog available legitimately. people are so used to companies squeezing the last cent out of everything that when this happens it seems weird. instead of considering that nintendo has a very clear strategy of what to do with their old games and where to focus their efforts they just think they are being dumb and unservicing.
