How did you come up with that? There’s no discussion on whether Nintendo sources training data ethically / legally. They could train it on their own property since they own tons too. Given Japanese sensibilities I’d be surprised if Nintendo behaved like Western companies in that regard and that’s part of Nintendo quirkiness that I will defend like a fanboy.

If Nintendo started to cater to that niche demographic they wouldn’t be able to balance that with being effectively a toy company. If Nintendo wouldn’t be the kind of assholes they are sometimes, they wouldn’t make games worth playing too. What they’re doing confuses people because they’re the only ones to do that. I think that’s worth preserving regardless and other people must think that too, otherwise they wouldn’t be so angry about Nintendo approach to roms and stuff - they want to play it even after so much time passed.

The thing about growing anti-piracy disdain - Nintendo doesn’t care about it because pirates don’t buy their stuff. Nintendo sells stuff for children so they are not that interested in building brand awareness by being lenient on anti-piracy enforcement. By the time their customers have money they are playing Call of Duty and Nintendo ain’t about that. Just a different strategy compared to Microsoft or Sony.

Maybe they’re not in the business because they used Hall effect sticks 🤔

It’s not compelling if you own other gaming systems but kids brought up on Nintendo will probably love it. Only Nintendo targets this demographic for some reason and that seems to be working ok for them.

Those things aren’t a matter of who deserves what. Nintendo will charge whatever they want if people will pay.

Ah, so that’s why joycons attach magnetically this time! /s

I’d rather buy $5 headphones at a train station shop than to use BT but I envy people less sensitive to latency because I did that and those headphones sucked XD

Enabling that BT connection was a mistake that Nintendo made under pressure tbh. Switch doesn’t support low latency audio of any sort so that feature is useless imo.

They decided to use joycons to nickel and dime their customers.

This and clickbait. Both were a race to the bottom for information and debate quality motivated solely by greed.

Which software is someone else’s here?

If you think that’s illegal why nobody is suing?

You keep coming back to this like it’s important in any shape. No laws were broken. Adult people who work at big companies chuckled at this happening. Damages were estimated at $0. It’s like you’re morally trying to convict Nintendo of something on a technicality but I’m still not sure what is that crime. Unless you have anything new to add that’s it for me.

You’re just trying to tire me out but I’m persistent.

Nintendo download roms, never disputed. What is Nintendo guilty of? Please state rule even if it is a cracktro scene rule because at this point I’m certain you know there is none.

It could mean that effectively caricature artists become one of the first professions protected by law from AI slop, kind of accidentally, and I don’t have that much problem with that.

There are now, this one was the first.

It did not impact this thread at all before this comment which was my point exactly.

I’m asking you to clearly formulate what it is that you’re accusing Nintendo of. I’m seeing lots of hand waving so far to cover that you just want to dunk on Nintendo for taking toys away, sorry. Also think this is pointless.

I think part of pleasantness is not bringing politics into things that weren’t intended to be about politics.

So you’re literally hung up on the fact that Nintendo used someone’s rip. Are there some scene rules to prevent that or what because I’m deeply confused.
