I have torrented Mario Kart World one thousand times since it launched and have thus cost Nintendo 70,000 dollars. If I can keep up this pace, Nintendo will be bankrupt within the next year or two.
Hey FBI thanks for letting me know about nsw2u cc I had no idea this thing existed…but now I do, so thank you.
seriously though I use the megathread and it has quite literally everything. literally the only good thing to come from reddit.
cc site still works. nsw2u 1 : 0 fbi
Fuuuuuck Nintendo. No one hates their fans more than Nintendo.
They are bricking brand new consoles, locking their USB ports to approved hardware, charging for the tech demo that would customarily be free on an $800 device. And that’s just this year.
I refused to buy anything Sony due to the dodgy shit from the PS3 days. And that’s anything, no TV’s or phones. Nothing. If a film is made by Sony I don’t go to the cinema to see it.
Microsoft is the same. I have only once bought anything from Microsoft and that was a licence for a windows operating system but I can’t even remember which version it was. I know it was from before Windows7. However, never again.
And now Nintendo is on my shit list.
I am broke af I would never have bought the game if I didn’t get it for free. So they lose nothing if it’s from me. Same for TV series and movies.
Once more for those in the back.
You.
Will.
Not.
Stop.
Piracy.
The list of sites:
On top of Nsw2u’s closure, the FBI says its investigation - performed with the assistance of the Fiscal Information and Investigation Service in the Netherlands - had additionally resulted in authorisation to seize the domain of “multiple” other sites, including nswdl.com, game-2u.com, bigngame.com, ps4pkg.com, ps4pkg.net, and mgnetu.com.
Focusing on the important issues…
So Nintendo is gonna become richer by that amount in just 3 months?
169,999,930. I was never gonna buy that zelda game anyways. So no money was lost.
What losses? Why do these people assume that pirates were ever going to purchase the goods they pirated?
Especially Nintendo. I wouldn’t be surprised if Nintendo is less affected by piracy than games on PC just because of the barrier to entry to even be able to purchase a Nintendo game with the console being first required.
And Nintendo is the most expensive console too with how sales are so rare for their exclusives compared to the other consoles, so likely not even on the radar for pirates who are already looking to not spend money. Console doesn’t award even patient gaming with games not dropping much even after years go by for their exclusives.
Bummer, I used that site a lot back when there were actual Switch games I wanted to play. Guess I’ll have to get Metroid Prime 4 elsewhere when the time comes!
the FBI acting like when you were home alone all day and you did jack shit, but your hear your mom pull in the driveway and remember the chores she asked you to do, so you set the trash can on fire to make it look like youre doing something
Lol. Perception becomes peoples reality.
