I didn’t even know this show existed.

Touch grass, Jesus.

Social Media should disallow anonymity. It’s a mistake, otherwise.

I’ve read that article, which hilariously includes an “illegal number” on the page.

Unironically, Nintendo’s ability to resell them to you later.

YMMV on whether is a good enough reason. It’s not for me, which is why I never bough 3D All-Stars. I’d much rather buy a used copy of Sunshine and play it on a Gamecube than buy 3D All-Stars, if I were to stick strictly to the light side of the force on this…

I don’t think the Wii Common Key is unique. I’m fairly certain that it’s just a number, ain’t it? A number that’s common (not being cute here, sorry) to all Wiis?

Nintendo could argue in court that not providing in the source but still requiring it is a distinction without a difference. But then, you can publish the…

If by “shares mastodon link” you mean “share’s link to a thread by the person the letter from Nintendo of America was actually addressed to, had a part in the Steam release, and is in as ideal a position to know what’s going on besides Valve and Nintendo themselves(who are not going to get into specifics under any…

Charming.

Well, they didn’t just “issue” it. Valve asked them how they felt about it being on Steam and Nintendo obviously said “don’t like it”.

Besides, I was against this Steam release specifically because I thought it’d draw Nintendo’s attention for barely any benefit. It was Valve that went to Nintendo, sure, but this didn’t…

Burying? Really?

The emulator has been available for over a decade...

Ethan, please stop willfully misrepresenting the truth.

Valve went to Nintendo to see if they’d have a problem with it, and they obviously said yes.

They spend a lot of time in this ad that you’re building a lego machine that let’s you play actual Pac-Man, but Lego.

A racist named Tracy.
A pedophilic racist named Tracy.

Sorry, didn’t read all that shit by you because you’re acting like a petulant child.

I never got around to Beetlejuice. How much of the movie is a product of its time and how much of it is legitimately a fun, timeless classic?

This is funny.

I struggle to understand why you think that’s a comparable scenario, but you do you man.

“Legal” is iffy, but at the very least, if you have to circumvent the measures in place to prevent you from doing just that, then you’re probably doing something “legally” wrong.

“Morally” is a totally separate argument though. I’m not a corpo so I don’t particularly care about piracy one way or the other.

That’s not the problem. DMCA also covers tools designed to circumvent technological protection measures, which Lockpick 100% is.

An argument can be made that that is bullshit, but you can’t start the debate without correct information.
