- ftxbro 3y agoare you just saying this tautologically or is it a statement about civil disobedience or about your personal beliefs relating legality vs. morality
- hota_mazi 3y agoPlaying a game you haven't bought is illegal, there is no grey area here.

- brokenmachine 3y agoWhat about playing a game that you have bought, but emulated on a different platform?
- porkbeer 3y agoIllegal acts are the source of most freedoms derived in our modern world. When a law is unjust, it is not only acceptable, but duty to ignore or even publicly trangress.
- hota_mazi 3y agoSure, but playing a game you haven't bought is clearly illegal, there is no grey area there.
- bugglebeetle 3y agoThe very tools that Nintendo is trying to take down with these DMCA requests can also be used to play games you bought on other platforms. Much of the Switch homebrew scene now is focused on making the emulators work well on platforms like the Steam Deck and PCs more generally because Nintendo’s hardware is so insanely dated that its first party games run better on other devices.
- oneeyedpigeon 3y ago> Nintendo’s hardware is so insanely dated that its first party games run better on other devices. Of course, you could say exactly the same thing about Microsoft or Sony's hardware - the only difference is the Switch is more dated and its games run better on more devices.
- bugglebeetle 3y agoThis is is certainly not true for Sony. Ports for PlayStation games to the PC are notorious for running horribly and often never get fixed.
