I wonder how much longer immunocompromised people will have to stay at home because of assholes like you continuing to spread this fucking thing and making it dangerous for them to be in public places.

It’s certainly a high price but I can at least understand this one more than the scam that grading company was caught doing a few months ago. I get legitimately rare things being of value to collectors, I don’t get Super Mario 64 selling for $1.56 million just because a group of ‘graders’ with a vested interest in…

The funny thing was that, instead of responding something like “neato!” and moving on, a bunch of people went “wait a minute, an emulator needs a ROM, which you might obtain through illegal channels”

That “line in the sand” just makes you look even more ridiculous. Theft is theft. Your argument is basically that it’s alright to pirate expensive games but not cheap ones, which means your so-called argument is that piracy is okay when you’re sticking it to big corporations. While at the same time you claim to have…

I’m sorry, but that’s a ridiculous response. If someone goes to the effort of downloading an emulator, tweaking it settings to get it to work then finding the ROM, they’ve already proved that there’s an appeal there.

All you’re doing is proving the point I made in my other post on this story. People always use the “but it’s a blog” excuse when it’s convenient, but the article itself preaches about how Nintendo’s reaction was some sort of affront to journalism.

We look forward to Nintendo reasserting that it does not promote greylisting websites for doing journalism.

Do you seriously think an article about a developer removing DRM is anything like an article telling people they can download a ROM of a game that just came out that week and play it on a PC emulator instead of having to buy the game and the console it was designed for?

Spare me your patronising nonsense. I do receive Sony’s quarterly reports, actually. They had around 2.2 million PS Now subscribers as of April 2020, and that had only grown to 3.2 million a year later. It’s nowhere near what Game Pass is getting.

Both, really. Every single game on Game Pass can be downloaded (including the retro ones), while some can be streamed as an extra bonus (if you pay extra for Game Pass Ultimate). Every first-party game is available on Game Pass on day one (which is becoming a bigger deal as Microsoft acquires new studios), as are a sel…

I don’t buy it.

That second-last paragraph screams “we’ve all been told we need to hit 350 words to fit the ad in the article”

How about the point that she already had years of experience as a studio head (at Vicarious Visions) and Ybarra didn’t, yet that experience wasn’t enough to earn her the same pay?

It was exactly the same role. All you’re doing is proving the point.

Yup, I had ‘fun’ doing that very hunt for the last tiny bit of road in Horizon 3

The one about orange roads is wrong, I’m afraid.

“All told, that amounts to about 24 million fewer units.”

“Nintendo of America headquarters are in Redmond, WA, and Vancouver, BC. We are moving more of our employees and operations into those headquarters”

Ummmm... isn’t Gadgette already a site? Last I heard it had been bought by another company who were preparing to relaunch it.

Mmm-hmm. And given that you've posted nothing before this, it sounds like you're someone from the company in question. Grow a pair.
