You and your boyfriends first made the claim that piracy hurts game sales before me.Your logical fallacy is [ad hominem].
BTW, this started because you first claimed that piracy is morally correct. There's no point in discussing this further when you've Neo-dodged every criticism about the original claim.QuoteStealing implies someone had something taken from them. Piracy never takes the original game away from the dev, it just makes a copy. You're talking about nintendo like they're a starving indie company when they're the richest company in japan period.Your logical fallacy is [strawman].QuoteThey have sold over 140 million switches, made over 1 billion dollars of profit on software sales and the switch is on pace to become the best selling console of all time. I think they won't lose sleep if a few million pirate their games, especially as the switch has been pirated day one.Your logical fallacy is [special pleading].
Won't lose sleep? Nintendo literally sued Yuzu into oblivion because of people pirating Tears of the Kingdom.QuoteIf piracy hurt sales as you pretend it does, the switch would of failed.Your (informal) logical fallacy is [false dilemma].QuoteAt least someone here comprehends how piracy preserves old games. But tbh yall sound like boomers who bought the "you wouldn't steal a car" anti piracy campaigns, and can't move on and accept that publishers do a piss poor job of providing access to their legacy titles.LOL, no one was saying otherwise (though there's more nuance than you presented). The difference is you're the only one claiming its "morally correct".
The problem specifically for me (which doesn't affect the majority of people) with copious Switch ports is that I've been around a long time, and have most of the original games available and playable already.
20 years ago I would have been thrilled to see a Zelda movie. Today? Eh, Hollywood blockbusters aren't made for me anymore. I'm just not the target audience. I see nothing but CG and self-referential quips that appeal to younger generations and it just doesn't appeal to me. But I'm not really bothered by that either. As long as the Zelda games remain good, that's all that matters to me.
