"Have you ever dealt with Nintendo lawyers before?"
"Well, no, I... Seal off the bridge!"
"It won't be enough."
"I want droidekas up here at once!"
"We will not survive this."
you know, they should probably just release their own ports. maybe on a susbscription service.
Monetize it and most people won't pirate their old shit. A lot of people only start pirating stuff because they want to play old games that aren't sold anymore.
Nah fuck that I'm not paying any subscriptions, I'll keep pirating thanks.
I'm pretty sure you aren't suppose to talk about your criminal activity.
It can be used in court
a) I don't think a comment holds any water in court, I can be lying. And even if I wasn't, "pirating" is not any crime, they'd need to present evidence that they could try to get from my IP records even if I don't comment anything.
b) Do you really think my government doesn't have better things to do?
c) Software piracy isn't criminal activity
Just to be clear it can be used in court just like SMS or any other communication. It probably won't be used against you but it can get companies in trouble for lack of enforcement.
For instance, Reddit comments were almost used in court: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/02/reddit-should-have-to-identify-users-who-discussed-piracy-film-studios-tell-court/
Once a pirate, always a pirate.
Most people start for relatively innocent reasons. It goes downhill from there.
So how does that apply to the switch emulators?
there's plenty of switch games that are now out of print and hard to find. any game that was only ever sold digitally won't be findable once they take it off the marketplace. And yes, the do take old games off their marketplace.
I like emulating my games for mod support, upscaling, and better performance. A native PC port would ideally support all of these things.
Wii want to sue
I sea what you did there. It is kind of fishy
Send the battle droids!
The negotiations were short
Port your shit to PC too.
I don't want to play ToTK in 720p at 30fps. I want to play it at glorious 4k/60 with better textures.

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
Technical note: if you're coming from another star system and are getting a "Subscription pending" message when trying to dock, that's just the console being slow to display the right message. The connection is already established. (Probably.)

Special days!
Friday and weekends: Caption contest. An image will be pinned, and we shall make captions for it and post them in the comments.
Wednesday: Theme day. We have Droids day, EU day, poem day, aliens day... Let the pinned post guide you. Memes with the theme are preferred.

Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
-
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
-
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
-
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
-
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
-
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
-
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
-
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.
