I don't see why everyone is up in arms over a signature. Its not like he was disrespecting the art itself. It took the creator 2 seconds to make that signature.

Can I comment on a year old article? Yes? Sick.

Actually the MLB has the same soft cap system that OWL is using. Go over 210 million and you pay a luxury tax that goes back to the rest of the league. Look it up on Wikipedia. So the idea that Salary caps prevent collusion is absurd. The only way it would prevent it is to put the salary cap only barely high enough to…

OWL only has 3 players making 200k or more, they also rarely play for more than 5 years or so in the pros, they don’t go to college or really have anywhere to pivot besides twitch, and most are unsuccessful at that.

Yeah, I hadn’t considered that first part. I’m not sure how I feel about used games because back before steam and other digital marketplaces it was just as easy to buy a game used as it was new and there really wasn’t any reason not to. I think ideally the devs should get a share of the profits from used game sales.

Gotcha, thanks for context

Im confused. So you are saying only 5% of PS5 owners own the game? Are these the Sony numbers you doubt or the total sales of ps5s? I don’t see much reason to doubt either figure. Sure the PS5 sale numbers doesn’t reflect how many customers bought one not intending to sell but one, how is Sony supposed to track that…

Piracy is stealing plain and simple. I used to be like a lot of folks in here that believed that because digital piracy doesn’t actually take any supply from the victim that it isn’t really stealing. What I realized is companies never miss the product itself, they miss the profit associated with it.

Why?

First of all, sorry if I came off as aggressive. Secondly I think we are just going to have to agree to disagree here. Ill admit there is a possibility you are right, and I think you’d have to admit there is a possibility I’m right. I’m not trying to defend Nintendo, in fact it seems pretty obvious they are not acting…

Thanks for your explanation and not taking my question in bad faith. I completely agree with you on all points especially broken IP laws.

In my mind a stupid decision is not the same thing as a mistake. Mistakes can be done with good reasoning behind them. This decision may very well be a mistake (though not a costly one) but I have to believe they have some solid reasoning for making this decision. Its very possible their economic justification is…

What is wrong with community emulation being the only option for playing games on older hardware? I'm not being a corporate fanboi here, I just seriously don't understand what we are missing out on.

I hope no one is seriously outraged by this rather than just annoyed. I mean as the article pointed out it is easy to download and play Metroid fusion or any classic Nintendo game for that matter. When one day Nintendo shuts down all the emulation sites not on the dark web we might truly have something to complain…

I don't think these folks were making a serious point against emulation, it's just a well deserved brag for holding on to older hardware  And yes, at least my Nintendo DS holds up perfectly well and it's mostly been lying under my bed the last ten years. Well not the battery, but that's to be expected 

The assumption has to be that a company as big and successful as Nintendo isn't making these decisions out of stupidity or for the evlulz (it's not even that evil if we are being real). I'm not saying I have the answers but not being able to make a return on investment seems a lot more realistic than Nintendo just…

Did they bring in Erran Morrad in on this? Everyone knows that the best way to fight a jihadist is to moon them, approach them butt first while yelling "I'll MAKE YOU GAY!"

I feel like you are going to be on a government watchlist now.

Yes there is risk but it’s going to be a LONG time before the virus just ceases to exist in the united states if ever. Should we just never go back to normal? I don’t think anyone actually thinks that so we clearly need to draw a line at an acceptable level of risk.

Nice bait psycho.
