    Wouldn’t you want to skip Nintendo games so that they stop being culturally relevant? I often hear that piracy is good for media creators in the long run.

      i mean it’s not your refusal to play pokémon schmirtle & thromble that will plunge nintendo to obscurity

      at that point, if the game interests you, may as well pirate it

        Sounds like an argument for pirating if you feel like it, regardless of everything else. Can’t say I agree with this one even if there are good reasons to pirate in plenty of cases.

          It’s because of upstanding pirates like yourself that the rest of us can plunder at whim. Thank you for your service ratio. 🙇🏼‍♂️🏴‍☠️

      Nah, keeping their old catalog relevant just twists the knife in them more. Like pouring a whole bottle of hydrogen peroxide on the wound.

      Is it petty? Sure. But Nintendo cannot out-petty me.

        Um. Hydrogen peroxide would clean the wound and, presumably with said volume, also irrigate it pretty effectively, so…

        edit: the two fucknuggets downvoting facts… ah, reddit leakage like Olestra.

          Yeah, it does clean the wound (after the pretty nasty burning sensation). Wouldn’t want it to get infected, someone could die from that! And if they died they’d be getting it easy.

          I mean, also we are talking about being petty to a business, not actually injuring people. Never actually injure someone.
